Scheduler
The Scheduler page controls when things happen in FIN — when predictions run, when feeds are checked, and when the system retrains itself.
Three Scheduling Sections
1. Prediction Schedule
Controls when the daily prediction is made. You can set:
| Setting | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Schedule | When predictions run. For example, "every weekday at 11:00 AM" means predictions are ready before market close |
| Exchange | Which stock exchange (affects trading hours) |
| Timezone | The local time zone of the exchange |
| Cutoff (min after open) | How long to wait after market opens before predicting — lets prices stabilize first |
| Active toggle | Turn the prediction schedule on or off |
The system translates your schedule into plain English so you can verify it.
2. ML Training Schedule
Controls when the system improves itself by learning from past predictions:
| Setting | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Retrain Schedule | When to learn from new accuracy data (default: weekly on Sunday) |
| Drift Check Schedule | When to check if old learnings are still valid (default: weekday afternoons) |
| Active toggle | Turn ML training on or off |
You can also manually trigger retraining or drift checks using the play/refresh buttons.
3. Feed Schedules
Controls when each RSS feed is checked for new articles. Each feed has its own schedule:
| Setting | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Description | A readable name for the feed |
| URL | The feed's web address |
| Schedule | How often to check this feed (e.g., every hour) |
| Buzz | Whether to also collect comments and engagement data (for Reddit-style feeds) |
| Max Days | How old an article can be before it's ignored |
| Active toggle | Enable or disable this specific feed |
Actions you can take:
- Add Feed: Add a new RSS news source
- Edit: Change a feed's settings
- Toggle: Turn a feed on or off
- Reset All Feeds: Reload feeds from the system's configuration
Understanding Schedules (Cron)
Schedules are written in a compact format. The system shows you the plain-English meaning:
| Schedule | Plain English Meaning |
|---|---|
0 9 * * 1-5 | Every weekday at 9:00 AM |
0 * * * * | Every hour on the hour |
0 0 * * 0 | Every Sunday at midnight |
30 17 * * 1-5 | Weekdays at 5:30 PM |
What to Do Here
- Set a prediction time that works for your market (e.g., 30 minutes after US market open for NYSE stocks)
- Add feeds for news sources relevant to your stock
- Adjust feed frequency — check popular sources more often
- Enable/disable things without deleting them
- Reset to defaults if you want to start over from the configuration
