PROMPT

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.

Pain point

Earnings can cause gaps and extreme moves that render normal risk controls ineffective.

Triggers

Symbol has earnings within earningsLeadHours
OR earnings occurred within earningsLagHours

Conditions

Applies only to equities/options (configurable)
Allow override only if "earnings mode" enabled

Actions

Warn and block new entries by default
If override: reduce size and require defined max loss

Parameters (defaults)

earningsLeadHours: 24
earningsLagHours: 12
allowOverride: true
overrideRiskMultiplier: 0.5

Examples

If a symbol reports after close today, block new swing holds and warn for intraday spikes tomorrow.
If override is used, cap risk at 50% and require bracket order.
