Turning EA off in turbulent times

[sam.peters]

Hello other members.
I expect there will be turbulent times on the (stock) market after next week. The question is then whether you turn off the EA temporarily or for a longer period. With such a period, a high DD can arise that cannot be caught. Please give your opinion. It's not about which EA you have or what positions, but the general idea.

I turn my EA off usually Thursday evening and turn it on ready for Monday open.
I try to ensure I don't carry any positions over the weekend, or in to Friday.

But obviously this doesn't always work out.
