Earnings Engine: Max Positions
Setting key
engine_max_positions_earnings
Default
not set
What it does
A hard ceiling on the number of simultaneously open earnings positions. Because each earnings trade is a binary-event bet, bounding the count directly limits how many concentrated event risks the book carries at once. Leave blank for no engine-level count cap: only the global max concurrent positions applies.
When to change it
Set this during weeks with many overlapping earnings reports if you want a hard count limit on binary-event positions, independent of the allocation percentage cap.
Safe range
Leave blank for no cap, or set 2-5 to bound simultaneous binary-event exposure.
Example
Set to 3 → the bot holds at most 3 earnings positions at any one time; additional qualifying earnings candidates are skipped until one closes.
