Free NQ Earnings Calendar: Mag 7 Flags, ET Times, and Beat/Miss Trends

By Ken Baggett · Updated August 19, 2026

Most earnings calendars are built for stock pickers: ten thousand tickers, no ranking, no context. Futures traders need a different question answered: which reports can actually move NQ, ES, or YM, and when in ET do they hit? So we built that calendar, and it is free inside the community dashboard. Here is what it looks like and how to use it.

What it does that generic calendars do not

Every report is ranked by what matters to an index trader. Mag 7 names are flagged and starred on the calendar, because one of them can move all of NQ by itself. One tap filters to Top NQ, Top ES, or Top YM weights, so ES and Dow traders get their own view of the same day. All times are shown in ET, split into Before the Open and After the Close, because the session is the whole trade. And tapping any company opens its last four reports as a chart: beats in green, misses in red, with the average surprise, so you can gauge expectations before the print instead of after it.

Updated in near real time

The calendar refreshes automatically through both release windows, so when a company reports at 4:05 PM ET, the beat or miss lands on the calendar minutes later with the surprise percentage attached. Every trading morning, the day’s reports are also delivered straight into the Pre-Market Brief in the community feed, next to the levels and the gamma regime, so the day’s event risk is in front of you before the open without opening a single extra site.

How to get it

It is free. Create a free community account, open the dashboard, and the Earnings Calendar sits right beside the NQ key levels in Quick Links, with the month view, the filters, and the trend charts included. How earnings actually move the futures is covered in Nasdaq earnings and NQ, the event playbook lives in trading FOMC and CPI, and the 0DTE flows that shape post earnings pinning are their own subject. The full strike-by-strike daily profile is part of Pro.

Learn it live, every weekday.

Reading about levels is one thing. Watching them trade in real time is another. STS4x members get the full daily key levels for NQ, ES, and GC, plus live trading sessions every weekday at 9:30 AM ET where the systems run out loud.
