  It pays to establish a trading technique that can function in any market scenario in this incredibly unpredictable market. And, with Q1 earnings set to heat up in just a week or two, this could give traders a plethora of possibilities to profit by focusing on firms that not only outperform estimates but also guide higher. Lululemon ( LULU ) is a prime illustration of this technique, having produced profits last week that were above expectations and guided higher.
