Earnings Profit Ladder Enabled
Setting key
earnings_profit_ladder_enabled
Default
OFF
What it does
Scale-out toggle for the earnings engine. Same mechanics as the mechanical ladder (25%/50%/75% thresholds, 25%/50%/100% close fractions). Off by default. Earnings positions are typically 1 contract; the ladder only has meaningful effect at 2+ contracts.
When to change it
Leave OFF until live-fill behavior is confirmed. Especially low priority for earnings given the standard 1-contract sizing.
Safe range
ON or OFF.
Example
Earnings position with 2 contracts. IV crush fires overnight: position up 60% at open. With ladder ON: would have scaled out 25% at 25% profit, then 50% of remainder at 50%. The final tranche rides the remaining crush.
