Known Liquid Symbols
What it does
The list of symbols that bypass the per-cycle liquidity probe and are always considered liquid. For these names, ACondor skips the real-time bid/ask spread and open interest check because they are known to be deep and liquid in all market conditions. All other symbols go through a live liquidity check each cycle before being considered for entry. Keep this list to well-established ETFs and mega-cap stocks with active options markets.
When to change it
Add a symbol if you know it is deeply liquid and want to skip the liquidity check. Remove a symbol if it has become less liquid or you want stricter per-cycle evaluation. Changes take effect on the next cycle without a restart.
Safe range
Any list of valid ticker symbols. Keep to names with daily options volume in the tens of thousands of contracts and tight bid/ask spreads.
Example
Adding AMZN to the list means ACondor never pauses to check AMZN's bid/ask before including it in the candidate list. Removing SPY would make ACondor probe SPY's liquidity each cycle, unnecessary for the most liquid ETF in the market.
