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.
Creating a Trigger
Each trigger follows a guided creation flow.
1. Select Market
Choose the cryptocurrency pair you want to monitor, such as BTC/USD, SOL/USD, or AAVE/USD. Each market represents a live price feed supported by Cod3x’s data infrastructure.
2. Select Timeframe
Pick the candle interval used to evaluate your condition:
15 Minutes – Fast-paced, short-term signals
1 Hour – Intraday setups
4 Hours – Swing signals
1 Day – Long-term trend filters
Timeframe directly affects signal sensitivity and trigger frequency.
3. Select Indicator
Choose from a wide range of supported indicators, grouped by category:
Price & Volume
Price
VWAP
On-Balance Volume
Moving Averages
SMA (20, 50, 200)
EMA (12, 26)
Momentum
RSI
MACD (Line, Signal, Histogram)
Stochastic
and more....
Cod3x continuously expands indicator support to cover more technical setups.
4. Select Condition
Define when the trigger should fire. Conditions vary by indicator type:
Crossing
Crosses Above
Crosses Below
Comparison
Greater Than
Less Than
Equals
Specialized Signals
RSI Oversold / Overbought
Bollinger Upper / Lower Band Touch
Price Crossing VWAP
and more...
Each condition describes the exact market event your agent will wait for.
5. Enter Value (If you didn't select specialized signals)
For comparison or crossing conditions, specify a numeric threshold — e.g.
RSI < 30 or Price crosses above 4200.
This determines the exact value at which your trigger activates.
6. Configure Mode
Control how often a trigger can fire:
Event Only – Fires once per crossover or state change.
First Entry – Fires once per condition becoming true, resets when false.
Cooldown Based – Repeats after a defined cooldown period (e.g., 6 hours).
Daily Maximum – Limits to one activation per 24 hours.
One-Shot – Fires once and disables itself until manually re-enabled.
Check the "Auto-scale cooldown by timeframe for it to adjust based on timeframe (e.g., 6 hours for 1h candles).
7. Review
Finally, review your configuration summary:
Market
Timeframe
Indicator
Condition
Trigger Mode
Cooldown
Once confirmed, click Add Trigger to attach it to the 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.
