Avoid trading into earnings unless intentional
Traders often recommend beginners avoid earnings volatility entirely; even experienced traders describe earnings as a special regime. This recipe blocks trading on symbols near earnings by default.
Create "Earnings Avoidance Guard". If a ticker has earnings within 24 hours or within 12 hours after, block new entries by default and warn. Allow override at 50% risk with mandatory bracket order.
Earnings can cause gaps and extreme moves that render normal risk controls ineffective.
