How it works
Ahead of scheduled US CPI and FOMC announcements, the model goes long ETH perpetuals about four hours before the release, entering with a passive limit order where possible, and exits shortly before the announcement so the position never holds through the event itself.
When it enters
About 4 hours before a scheduled CPI (08:30 ET) or FOMC (14:00 ET) release.
When it exits
20 minutes before the release (market exit at 5 minutes before at the latest); stop at −10%.
