Hey Simon,
Recently I do not pause the Top EAs. I never found proof that I must stop. We never know how the news will affect the EAs, and plus, when we generate the EAs, we do not include the news…
Simple, when we generate the EAs, we use all the data without pausing it, so there is no really a reason to do it.
Sometimes you will notice that you will have great profits during the news, sometimes it might get to loss, but that is what happens every day.
