Timeframe Configuration

The timeframe determines the candlestick interval at which your strategy evaluates market data. Algo Architech supports a powerful Multi-Timeframe Matrix (MTF) that lets different parts of your strategy run on independent timeframes simultaneously.

Default Timeframe

When creating a strategy, you set a Default Timeframe that applies globally to all technical rules. This keeps setup fast when you want a single, unified timeframe.

Available Timeframes

Multi-Timeframe Analysis (MTF)

This is where Algo Architech’s institutional-grade edge becomes clear. While the default timeframe applies globally, every individual indicator rule can override it with its own dedicated timeframe.

This means a single strategy can simultaneously evaluate:

• A daily trend filter (macro direction)
• A 15-minute momentum confirmation (medium-term)
• A 1-minute precision entry signal (micro execution)

How It Works

│  Entry Rule 1:  SMA(200) is Rising     → Timeframe: 1d │
│  Entry Rule 2:  RSI > 60               → Timeframe: 15m│ (uses default)
│  Entry Rule 3:  MACD Crossover Above   → Timeframe: 1m │
│                                                         │
│  Adjustment:    Net Delta > 0.4        → Timeframe: 1m │
│                                                         │
│  Exit:          TSL evaluated on live ticks              │

The Trading Edge

Traditional platforms force you to pick one timeframe and stick with it. Algo Architech eliminates that compromise entirely.

Use the daily chart to confirm you’re trading with the macro trend. Use the 15-minute chart for momentum alignment. Then execute your entry on the 1-minute chart for the most precise price possible.

The result: You catch the big wave, but enter at the tightest spread.

Decoupled Evaluation

Each module of the strategy can operate on its own timeframe independently:
