About Daily Timeframe Algorithms

Daily algorithms hold positions for longer periods than intraday strategies. Key considerations:
  • Fewer trades — signals fire once per day at most.
  • Larger moves targeted — designed to capture multi-day trends rather than intraday fluctuations.
  • Overnight risk — positions may be held overnight and through weekends.
  • Prop firm rules — some prop firms restrict or prohibit overnight/weekend holds. Check your firm’s rules before connecting Core.

Connecting Core

  1. Go to dash.hextrade.io/algos and find es-core-1d.
  2. Check the performance detail page — pay attention to drawdown and hold duration.
  3. Connect via Connected Accounts and set risk.
  4. Activate.
Daily strategies carry overnight and weekend exposure. Verify your prop firm or broker permits holding positions outside regular trading hours before using Core.
