Zones

The bot trades two directional zones based on US cash-market hours (Eastern Time).

Zone definitions

Market holidays (configured in bot.js as a holidays set) stay in the long zone — the bot skips shorting on those days.

Weekday timeline (ET)
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 midnight          9:29              4:01         midnight
    │               │                 │              │
    └──── LONG ─────┴──── SHORT ──────┴──── LONG ────┘

Zone flips

At each zone change, the bot flips direction:

1. Closes any existing position
2. Opens a new position in the zone’s direction

Scheduling uses node-cron for the 9:29 AM / 4:01 PM ET transitions. Times can auto-adjust from collected market data — see Adaptive Learning.
