What is the avoid window?

A setting that flags the minutes either side of a high-impact release as a period you have told yourself not to trade. Off by default; you set the number of minutes.

It is a rule you write for yourself and the app then holds you to — or at least tells you when you are inside it.

Once enabled, the app watches every high-impact event on today's calendar and, when the clock comes within your chosen number of minutes of one, marks the window active. The default is eight minutes either side. The hero card and the stat strip both say which side of the release you are on: m to release before it, m post-release after.

It changes nothing about your ability to trade. Nothing is blocked. It exists so that "I got chopped up in the two minutes after CPI" becomes a thing you can see coming rather than a thing you notice afterwards.
