Contraction News Entry Enabled
Setting key
contraction_news_entry_enabled
Default
OFF
What it does
When ON, allows the contraction engine to enter a single-sided credit spread (instead of a full iron condor) when a high-confidence directional news catalyst is present on a contraction-eligible symbol. This is an offensive extension of the news system. Off by default until validated.
When to change it
Leave OFF until the news engine has been observed in live conditions. The offensive news entry is more speculative than the standard contraction entry.
Safe range
ON or OFF.
Example
AMD IV Rank at 82 (contraction-eligible). Classifier: high-confidence bearish catalyst. With contraction_news_entry_enabled=ON, bot enters a bear call credit spread instead of an iron condor. With OFF, standard iron condor only.
