Timeframes and schedules

Coinrule strategies evaluate on candle closes at configurable intervals — from 1 minute to 1 day. This article covers the supported intervals, how evaluation timing works, the cost of sub-minute data, and multi-timeframe setups.

Which candle intervals are supported?

These are the only intervals the AI parser will generate strategies for. There is no weekly (1w) interval support.

How does evaluation timing work?

For candle-based strategies, the engine evaluates your strategy conditions on each new candle close for the configured interval. A 1h strategy on BTC/USDT evaluates once per hour when a new 1h candle closes.

For timer-based strategies (e.g. DCA, basket rebalancing), the engine uses a fixed interval set at launch time. The first evaluation fires shortly after launch; subsequent evaluations fire at the configured interval.

What about sub-minute intervals?

The 1m interval is supported but incurs an additional data subscription surcharge of 1 credit/day per watched pair. Use it only when your strategy genuinely requires per-minute evaluation. See Credit drivers and costs.

How do multi-timeframe strategies work?

A single strategy can monitor multiple markets on different intervals by using separate labelled market entries in the strategy config (e.g. a primary label on 1h and a trend label on 4h). Mention this explicitly in your description and the AI will configure it.
