# Scheduling Orders

Scheduling lets you set the bot to start later instead of starting immediately. You can also optionally set it to repeat multiple times.

#### Where to find it

On the Market Maker (Volume Bot) page, next to the main Start Trading / Schedule button, you’ll see two icons:

* **Clock icon:** choose a start time
  * Start times are in 15‑minute increments (:00, :15, :30, :45).
  * If you pick a time that already passed today, the app automatically schedules it for tomorrow at the same time.

* **Repeat icon:** choose how many times to run, and when to trigger the next run

  #### Trigger types

  **On Complete (back‑to‑back)**

  * The next run starts after the previous run finishes.
  * This is best if you want consecutive runs without overlap.
  * **Repeat limit:** maximum 5 total runs.

  **Use this when:** you want “run again as soon as it’s done.”

  **Daily (same time each day)**

  * The bot starts at the scheduled start time each day.
  * This requires you to set a scheduled start time.
  * In the example below, the setting is 4x repeat, on complete. This means the order will run repeat 4 times after successively after each completion. The 4 boars denote the status for each order.&#x20;

  **Use this when:** when you want to for example, start an order everyday at 9:00am

As soon as you set a schedule or a repeat, the order will appear under the **Scheduled tab** in the order table.

* You can delete it before it starts by pressing the x icon.

### Important Notes

* **Timezone:** You always pick the time in your local timezone; our engine handles the rest. Around daylight savings changes, “Daily” schedules may appear to shift by an hour depending on your local timezone rules.
* **If you schedule a past time:** it automatically rolls to tomorrow.
* **Overlap risk:** Daily can overlap if a run lasts longer than a day; On Complete won’t overlap because it waits for completion.
