I would say that the big risk is entering at a price you already know is bad just for the sake of being in the trade. Not entering a trade carries absolutely zero risk. What it does carry is FOMO, or Fear Of Missing Out, and that, my friend, is an account destroyer. FOMO causes us to do dumb things because we’re afraid of not making the money we think we should, or afraid of not making back this month’s service charge. It’s insidious, and we have to be vigilant to keep it at bay, plan our trades, and trade our plan. @Peeyotch

I use the scanner in TOS. You can set it for whatever time frame you like, in days. Sometimes it is a little tricky getting it to feed a certain week, you have to fiddle with the "does not" have earnings and the "has" earnings days to get it just right. You can also look at the calendar on TOS. TOS is free and I'm pretty sure the scan and calendar work even if you don't have a real account, you just get delayed (20 min.) data.
