What is summary_interval used for?

The summary_interval defines the base timeframe used by MagicTradeBot for analytics, reports, and performance dashboards.

It tells the bot how to map loaded Kline/candle data to the timeframe used for summaries and reporting.

⚙️ How It Works

• The bot loads candles (e.g., 1m, 5m, 15m) for each symbol.
• summary_interval specifies which timeframe to use when generating analytics summaries.
• Example:

summary_interval: "30m"

• The bot will generate summaries and performance metrics using 30-minute candle data.

⚖️ Important Considerations

• Mismatch issue:

  • If loaded candles are 1-minute but summary_interval is set to 30m, the bot may report “no kline data found”.
  • The loaded candles must cover the summary interval or be aggregatable.

• Purpose of mapping:

  • Analytics summaries
  • Strategy performance reports
  • Dashboard metrics
  • Multi-symbol comparison

• Ensures all reports reflect consistent timeframes.

🚀 Summary

summary_interval is used to:

• Map loaded candles to a base timeframe
• Generate accurate analytics, dashboards, and reports
• Avoid signal processing errors due to timeframe mismatch

Correct configuration ensures that performance metrics and analytics reflect real market behavior over the chosen timeframe.
