Triggers
by QATS • Feb 7, 2026
What are they
Triggers automatically run parts of your strategy when specific events occur.
Instead of running constantly, your strategy runs only when something happens — like a price move, a timer, or a news event.
Why are Triggers needed
QATS runs strategies only when needed — based on events. Blocks do not run continuously in the background. This makes the system more precise, controllable, and resource-efficient.
How it works
Keeps your data up to date
Re-runs your strategy when conditions change
Live mode means your strategy runs automatically using Triggers
Trigger types
Price-based (Exit blocks only) — triggers when the asset price changes by a defined percentage
News-based — reacts to relevant news for an asset or topic
Time since event (Deal Exit only) — e.g., triggers 5 minutes after entry
Timer — interval-based execution (e.g., every 10 minutes)
Scheduled — exact times, patterns, calendar-based conditions
Where are Triggers configured
Via the block’s context menu
Important
Live mode requires at least one Trigger, otherwise the strategy will not refresh
Triggers are a required element to ensure cyclical execution and ongoing strategy updates
