UK and US data in the same hour: flat or micro size only.
Double prints in the London--NY overlap are where I used to get clever with hedges that were not hedges. Two calendars, one account, and a brain that wants to be in for both.
Default
If two tier-1 (or one tier-1 and one pair-relevant medium) land inside the same sixty minutes, I flat and stay flat through both. Micro size is allowed only as a pre-written experiment with a tiny R -- not as a loophole.
The cost of missing a clean post-data move is smaller than the cost of a crossed wire during the second release while still managing the first.
How do you handle stacked UK/US hours -- full blackout, or staggered re-entry rules?
Stacked data also wrecks journal attribution -- which print caused the move? If you traded through both, Sunday stories get fictional. Flat through the stack keeps the review honest and the account quieter. Re-entry after both, with fresh checklist, is still optional.
