Schedule Automated Trades

Key Capabilities

Time-Based Trade Scheduling

  • Configure daily trading windows (e.g., 09:00 AM to 11:00 AM UTC).
  • Set execution rules for specific days of the week (e.g., only on Mondays and Fridays).
  • Avoid trading during low-liquidity periods or high-risk hours like market close or news events.

Condition-Based Execution

  • Apply custom conditions that must be met within the scheduled window.
  • Conditions can be applied:
    • Globally at the template level (affecting all symbols)
    • Individually at the symbol level (targeting specific coins or pairs)

Template-Driven Architecture

  • Design strategy templates with reusable scheduling logic.
  • Attach these templates to any number of bot instances or symbol sets.

Timezone-Aware Scheduling

Supports global trading by allowing schedule alignment with local market hours (e.g., Asia, Europe, US sessions).

Benefits

Optimized Market Timing

  • Trade only when markets are most active or most stable, increasing the chance of better entries and exits.
  • Avoid slippage or unexpected volatility during off-peak hours.

Precision Strategy Control

  • Align your strategy with economic calendars, news cycles, or institutional trading sessions.
  • Enable advanced strategies like:
    • Pre-market accumulation
    • Post-news volatility trades
    • Weekend-specific strategies (e.g., low-liquidity mean reversion)

Reduce Noise, Increase Signal

  • By filtering execution to high-probability time windows, your bots operate in a signal-rich environment, reducing unnecessary trades and enhancing profitability.

Strategy Diversification

  • Run different strategies on different days or times without overlap or interference.
  • Example:
    • Run a scalping strategy on weekdays.
    • Deploy a swing trading strategy only on weekends.

Risk Mitigation

  • Avoid trading during scheduled downtime, maintenance windows, or known risky hours.
  • Great for markets where certain hours are more prone to manipulation or flash crashes.

Real-World Use Cases

Night Session Traders

Set bots to trade only during overnight sessions when volatility may align with specific strategies.

News-Aware Strategies

Disable trades during major news events or only activate bots 30 minutes after a central bank announcement.

Weekend Algorithms

Run bots with unique behavior or constraints during Saturday-Sunday sessions, which tend to behave differently in crypto markets.

Regional Session Alignment

Configure trades to align with:

  • Asian markets (e.g., Tokyo open)
  • European overlap
  • US market close behavior
