Triggers
Triggers
Triggers allow your agent to react automatically to live market conditions. They act as event-based activators for goals; firing whenever predefined technical conditions are met.
Each trigger monitors a specific market, timeframe, and indicator, and fires when that indicator crosses a threshold, reaches a limit, or meets a condition.
You can use triggers to automate analysis, signal detection, or execution logic — all without writing a single line of code.
How Triggers Work
Standalone Triggers fire independently (OR logic). Any standalone trigger becoming true will activate the goal.
Grouped Triggers fire only when all conditions in the group are met (AND logic). Use grouped triggers to chain multiple signals together.
OR Relationship Between Groups and Standalones: Multiple groups and standalones can coexist; any of them can fire the goal when conditions are met.
This system gives you full flexibility to design simple or complex trading conditions with intuitive visual logic.
Ways to Add Triggers
Cod3x currently supports three ways to create triggers, depending on how much guidance or control you want. All methods create the same underlying trigger logic — they differ only in how the trigger is defined.
1. AI Assistant (Natural Language)
The AI Goal Assistant lets you create triggers using natural language.
You can type almost any instruction, and Cod3x will generate an appropriate trigger based on:
Your input
The goal prompt (used as context)
Sensible defaults when details are missing
Examples:
“Add RSI oversold trigger for BTC”
“Add a MACD trigger”
“Add a Bollinger Band trigger”
“Add the best trigger here”
If you don’t specify details like timeframe or parameters, the assistant will automatically:
Choose a reasonable default timeframe
Select an appropriate trigger condition
Apply a suitable trigger mode and cooldown to prevent spam
Before anything is added, Cod3x shows what it understood and what will be created. You can review and apply the change with a single click.
This method is ideal for fast setup, experimentation, or users who don’t want to think in indicator mechanics.
2. Row-Based Triggers (Manual Configuration)
The row-based trigger editor is the most direct and manual way to build triggers.
When you click Add Trigger, a new row appears where you configure the trigger step by step:
Select the market
Select the timeframe
Choose Price or an Indicator
Define the condition (crosses above, crosses below, greater than, touches, etc.)
If applicable, set indicator parameters (e.g. SMA / EMA period in candles)
Save the trigger
This approach gives you full control over every part of the trigger definition and is best suited for users who already know exactly what setup they want.
3. Card-Based Triggers (Templates + Advanced Flow)
In Cards view, clicking Add Trigger opens a trigger selection modal.
You can:
Choose from a set of pre-built trigger templates (e.g. RSI Overbought / Oversold, VWAP signals, MACD trend shifts)
Or switch to Advanced Configuration to define everything manually
The advanced flow walks you through:
Market
Timeframe
Indicator
Condition
Trigger mode
Cooldown configuration
Final review before creation
This method provides guidance through templates while still allowing full customization when needed.
Using Multiple Methods Together
You can freely mix all three trigger creation methods within the same goal:
Add some triggers via the AI Assistant
Fine-tune others manually in rows
Use templates for common setups
Regardless of how they are created, all triggers behave the same once attached to a goal.
Combining Triggers
Cod3x supports both independent and grouped triggers:
Standalone triggers (OR logic) — fire individually. Example: “RSI Oversold on BTC OR AAVE OR SOL.”
Grouped triggers (AND logic) — require all conditions to be true. Example: “Price crosses above VWAP AND Bollinger Upper Band touches.”
This allows you to build sophisticated multi-signal systems without code, fully managed through Cod3x’s visual interface.
Time Triggers (Scheduler)
Time triggers let your agent run goals on a fixed schedule — ideal for consistent routines such as daily analysis, weekly reports, or periodic rebalancing. They operate independently of technical triggers, ensuring execution even when market conditions are idle.
How It Works
Schedule Type – Choose between Recurring, Daily, Weekly, or Manual.
Days of Week – Pick specific days for execution.
Execution Times – Add one or more times for each selected day (e.g., 09:00).
Timezone – Set the timezone to align scheduling across your agents.
Once saved, your agent will automatically execute the goal at the defined time(s), regardless of indicator or market state.
Tip: Combine time triggers with technical triggers to maintain continuous monitoring — for example, run “Market Scan” every morning at 09:00, and execute trades only when RSI or VWAP conditions are met.
Task Triggers
Task triggers let one goal activate another — creating sequential workflows between agents or between analysis and execution stages. They connect goals together, so results from one process can automatically kick off the next.
How It Works
Select Goal to Trigger From – Choose any existing goal as the source event.
Trigger Event – Define when this goal should fire:
On Start – When the source goal begins.
On Success – When the source goal completes successfully.
On Failure – When the source goal fails or errors out.
With task triggers, Cod3x can execute multi-stage routines — from scanning markets to entering, managing, and exiting positions — entirely on autopilot.
