Working hours & scheduling

Restrict when a copier is allowed to copy trades using daily time blocks, and optionally close open positions when the trading period ends.

Working hours restrict when a copier copies trades. They're set per copier in Copier Settings (the gear icon on the copier's detail page), alongside the copier's name.

By default a copier has no schedule and copies 24/7. Add working hours to limit it to specific windows — for example, only during your main session.

Copier Settings — the copier name plus Working Hours, with a daily time block and the auto-close option.

Set a schedule

1

Open Copier Settings

On the copier's detail page, choose Settings, then expand Configure Hours.

2

Turn on Working Hours

Enable the Working Hours toggle. While it's off, the schedule controls are dimmed and the copier runs without time restrictions.

3

Add time blocks

Choose Add time block and set a Day, Start Time, and End Time. Add as many blocks as you need — multiple per day are fine, and blocks may overlap. The copier copies during any active block.

4

Save

Save the dialog. The schedule takes effect immediately.

Start time must be before end time within a block. Times follow the conventions in Conventions.

Auto-close at period end

Enable Auto-close when period is over to close open positions when a working-hours window ends:

• On — when a period ends, all open positions on the copier's accounts (sender and receivers) are closed.

• Off — positions stay open when the window ends, but no new trades are copied until the next window.

With Working Hours enabled and no time blocks defined, the copier effectively never copies — there are no active windows. The dialog shows a reminder when this is the case.
