Introducing Time Trigger Orders: Automate Trade Execution Time
Whether you’re anticipating a major economic announcement, a token unlock event, or a high-volatility market session, being able to execute trades at the right moment can make all the difference. Staying online 24/7 isn’t always practical, and that’s where Time Trigger Orders come in.
A Time Trigger Order is a market order that is scheduled to execute automatically at a specific date and time at the next available market price. By allowing traders to pre-set their orders, the feature is particularly useful for capturing key market events, optimizing trade execution, and managing trading schedules effectively.
How Time Trigger Orders Work
Place a Time Trigger Order to trade perpetual futures in three simple steps.
Once you’ve confirmed your order, it will be automatically executed and a market order will be placed as close to the scheduled time as possible, depending on prevailing market conditions.

Why Use Time Trigger Orders
1. Execute Trades Without Being Online
Crypto markets operate 24/7, but traders cannot always be available. Whether due to time zone differences or personal commitments, Time Trigger Orders ensure execution even when you are offline, reducing the risk of missing critical entry points.
2. Capitalize on Key Market Events
Major economic and crypto-specific events can cause increased volatility and impact price action. Examples include Consumer Price Index (CPI) reports, FOMC interest rate decisions, token unlocks or major exchange listings, and protocol upgrades or network hard forks.
With Time Trigger Orders, traders can schedule execution ahead of these events to align with their strategy without needing to actively monitor the market. By scheduling trades around key announcements, traders can avoid missing high-impact market movements and ensure their positions are executed at the most opportune moments.
3. Improve Liquidity Timing
Market liquidity varies throughout the day, with peak trading windows offering better spreads and execution quality. Scheduling orders during high-liquidity periods, such as session overlaps between major markets (Asia-U.S.), can potentially reduce slippage.
4. Maintain Strategy Discipline
Emotional trading often leads to impulsive decisions and poor execution. By pre-scheduling trades, traders can stick to their plan and minimize reactionary mistakes.
Key Considerations
Executes as a Market Order – The order will fill at the best available price at execution time, which may differ from the expected price. The final execution price may differ from expectations due to factors such as volatility and liquidity at the time of execution
Ensure Sufficient Margin – If the required funds are unavailable at execution time, the order may not be executed.
Review Scheduled Orders – Market conditions can change, so regularly reviewing open orders is recommended.
Example: U.S. Employment Report Release on March 7, 2025
A real-world opportunity to test Time Trigger Orders is coming soon. On March 7, 2025, at 13:30 UTC, the U.S. Employment Report will be released, delivering key insights into the U.S. labor market—including job growth, unemployment rates, and wage trends.
This report has a history of triggering sharp volatility in the crypto market because of its impact on Federal Reserve policy:
Stronger-than-expected employment data → Increases the likelihood of monetary tightening (e.g., rate hikes), which can weigh on risk assets, including crypto.
Weaker-than-expected employment data → Raises expectations for monetary easing (e.g., potential rate cuts), which may provide a tailwind for risk assets like crypto.
Traders can anticipate immediate price swings following the report’s release. Instead of staying online to manually react to the event, you can set a Time Trigger Order to execute at an exact timing around the timing when the report is published, ensuring you capture the market movement as it happens.
