"Runs 24/7" is one of those claims that's simple to state in a headline and a little abstract until you actually picture what it means mechanically, day to day, for an account connected to it. Here's the concrete version rather than the marketing shorthand.
No opening or closing bell
Crypto markets don't close on nights, weekends, or holidays the way traditional equity markets do, and automation built for them doesn't operate on a schedule either — execution units run continuously, evaluating conditions and executing within their parameters around the clock, rather than starting and stopping at defined market hours the way a human trader following a 9-to-5 schedule necessarily would.
No manual restart, no daily login required
Once your account is connected, automation doesn't require you to start a session each day, check in before it will resume operating, or manually re-enable it after any period of inactivity on your part. It simply keeps running, checked continuously in the background by monitoring units that verify the system is operating correctly — you being logged in or logged out of your dashboard has no bearing on whether automation continues to function.
What happens overnight, specifically
The same thing that happens during the day: execution units evaluate whether current conditions meet their defined criteria, and act accordingly if they do. There's no separate "overnight mode" with different rules — the system doesn't become more conservative or more aggressive simply because it's outside a particular time zone's business hours, because crypto markets don't inherently behave differently based on clock time the way markets tied to a specific exchange's physical trading floor once did.
What "continuous" doesn't mean
It doesn't mean constant trading activity, and it's worth being clear about that distinction. Automation may execute few or no trades during stretches that don't meet its criteria — a quiet 12 hours with no executed trades isn't evidence that something has stopped working, any more than a busy 12 hours with several executed trades is evidence of extra effort being applied. The system evaluates conditions continuously; it doesn't manufacture activity to demonstrate that it's "doing something" during any given stretch.
How you can verify it's actually running, if you want to
Your dashboard reflects live account equity, which updates continuously with market prices even when no new trade has just executed — that's one signal that the system is actively connected and monitoring your account rather than idle. Trade history timestamps, when trades do occur, will span all hours rather than clustering only around any particular time of day, which is another indicator that execution isn't following a human schedule.
Why this matters beyond just convenience
Markets moving overnight or on weekends, when most manual traders are asleep or unavailable, is precisely when undisciplined manual approaches tend to miss developing conditions entirely or react late once they do notice. Continuous automated monitoring removes that specific gap — not by trading more, but by being consistently present to evaluate conditions whenever they occur, rather than only during hours a human trader happens to be awake and watching.
