A reference calendar the team uses as an "event filter" for its paper accounts: no new virtual positions within 30 minutes of a high-impact release.
- Only two high-impact events fall in the window, both on Oct 29 (UTC+8): the FOMC statement (02:00) plus press conference, and September PCE (20:30, released alongside Q3 GDP).
- No CPI or payrolls in the window. The next payrolls report is Nov 6, 21:30 UTC+8; the next CPI is Nov 10, 21:30 UTC+8.
- Daylight-saving trap: US DST ends Nov 1, so 08:30 ET moves from 20:30 to 21:30 UTC+8. Every row was converted one by one.
- Sources: the Federal Reserve, BEA, BLS, ISM and FRED schedules. One non-official claim (no shutdown risk until Dec 11) is flagged as unverified.
