Working Hours
The "Working Hours" feature allows scheduling algorithm operating times based on either a general "Weekly" scheme or individually configuring schedules for each day of the week separately — "Daily".
Schedule Type
Choose the algorithm's operating scheme.
Weekly
Created schedule applies to all selected days of the week.
How it works: Configure one schedule (for example, from 09:00 to 23:00), and it will apply identically to all marked days of the week.
Application: Convenient when the algorithm should operate on the same schedule every day.
Daily
Allows individually configuring schedules for each day separately.
How it works: For each day of the week, you can set its own operating time interval.
Application: Use when different operating times are required on different days of the week (for example, shorter hours on weekends).
Days of Week
Select the days of the week to which the scheme will apply.
Available options:
Sun (Sunday)
Mon (Monday)
Tue (Tuesday)
Wed (Wednesday)
Thu (Thursday)
Fri (Friday)
Sat (Saturday)
With "Weekly" scheme: Mark the needed days of the week — the schedule will apply to all selected days.
With "Daily" scheme: Configure operating time for each day individually.
Hours
Specify the algorithm's operating time interval.
Parameters:
From — start time (for example, 09:00)
To — end time (for example, 23:00)
Adding intervals: Click the + button to add an additional time interval for the same day.
Removing intervals: Click the 🗑️ (trash) button to remove an interval.
Application: You can set multiple intervals for one day if the algorithm should operate with breaks.
Usage Examples
Example 1: Weekday Operation
Settings:
Schedule type: Weekly
Days of week: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri
Hours: From 09:00 To 18:00
Result: Algorithm operates Monday through Friday from 9:00 to 18:00. Does not operate on weekends.
Example 2: Different Times on Weekdays and Weekends
Settings:
Schedule type: Daily
Monday-Friday: From 09:00 To 23:00
Saturday: From 10:00 To 20:00
Sunday: From 12:00 To 18:00
Result: Algorithm operates on different schedules depending on the day of the week.
Example 3: Operation with Breaks
Settings:
Schedule type: Weekly
Days of week: All days
Interval 1: From 09:00 To 12:00
Interval 2: From 14:00 To 18:00
Result: Algorithm operates in the morning (9:00-12:00) and after lunch (14:00-18:00), with a break from 12:00 to 14:00.
Why Working Hours are Needed
Trading Optimization: Operate only during high liquidity hours or when you can monitor the algorithm.
Avoiding Undesirable Periods: Disable the algorithm during periods of low market activity, weekends, or exchange maintenance times.
Flexible Planning: Configure different schedules for different days of the week depending on market conditions or personal schedule.
