Earnings Engine Enabled
What it does
Master on/off toggle for the earnings IV-crush engine. When OFF, ACondor does not enter any earnings plays. Existing earnings positions continue to be managed. The earnings engine enters short-dated defined-risk structures before a company's earnings report and exits the morning after, capturing the volatility collapse that typically follows the announcement.
When to change it
Turn OFF during earnings seasons when you prefer to avoid binary event risk across many names simultaneously. Turn OFF if you are running a smaller account and want to focus on the mechanical engine only.
Safe range
ON or OFF.
Example
Q4 earnings season with many large-cap reports in the same week. You turn earnings OFF to avoid having multiple binary-risk positions open simultaneously. Mechanical and contraction engines continue running.
