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
