Schedule

The Market maker, Delta hedger and FOS have the ability to start and stop automatically based on the schedule. When the schedule is enabled, it tracks current time. When the time is within any of the periods defined, a Start command is issued. When the current time is not within any of the schedule periods, a Stop command is issued. All active orders will be cancelled.

The Market maker, Delta hedger and FOS cannot be started if the schedule is enabled, and a new range of activity has not yet arrived. To be able to run the Market maker, Delta hedger and FOS at any time, you need to disable the schedule.
