Discretionary is fine until your click is slower than a headline. I have been exploring lightweight auto-flat: calendar API or local injector that flattens / blocks new orders inside a blackout window. Not a full EA — a seatbelt.
Questions for people who have built or bought this:
- Which calendar feeds have you found reliable enough not to false-flat you all week?
- Do you flatten all symbols or map events → pairs (NFP → USD & gold only)?
- How do you handle revised times / early releases without trusting a single source?
- Prop-account angle: does auto-flat help compliance or create “EA policy” headaches?
