Headline risk and mechanical rules
None of these stories change a single rule inside the engine, and that is the point. An automated accumulation strategy has no view on regulation, ETF flows or exchange announcements; it has a ladder, a per-lot take-profit above the fee line, and a cash reserve floor. News shows up only as volatility — wider ranges mean rungs fill faster in both directions, and a violent one-way move means the ladder fills down and waits instead of chasing.
The discretionary mistake in a week like this is to override the rules because a headline felt important. The measurable alternative is to let the reserve floor absorb the move and judge the system on closed trades after fees, which is what the daily recap publishes.
