# INTERVAL

{% hint style="success" %}
**Association**

**INTERVAL** is a periodic timer.
{% endhint %}

**INTERVAL** is an indicator that works as a timer, sending signals at a set frequency. It can be configured to send a signal every user-set number of bars, allowing for the automation of actions such as regular stock purchases or periodic checking of an asset's price. 

The signal from **INTERVAL** is transmitted to other system modules to execute the operations set by the trader.

The **INTERVAL** module has **one outpu**t, which signals on the required bar that it's time to do something.
