How Do I Use Candle Pulse Fixed and Rolling?

Fixed uses scheduled candle intervals; Rolling uses trailing windows ending at the latest available basket observation.

What problem does this solve?

You want to switch Candle Pulse modes or understand a short, delayed or changing candle.

Quick answer

Fixed is the default and uses scheduled buckets. Rolling uses a trailing window ending at the latest available data observation. Both show estimated movement for the selected weighted stock basket, not official S&P 500 candles.

Steps

  1. Find Candle Pulse in Market Intelligence and use Fixed | Rolling beside its heading. You can also choose Settings → Market Intelligence → Candle Pulse Mode. Fixed is the default; Rolling does not reset at scheduled 5- or 15-minute boundaries.
  2. Read the seven default intervals: 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 minutes. The body joins Open and Close; the wick shows observed basket High and Low. All seven share a proportional scale, so a 1-minute candle can be smaller than a 30-minute one when its measured move is smaller.
  3. If Rolling shows a shorter coverage label, allow history to fill and check the selected basket, session and feed. The existing Alpaca connection supplies provider minute bars to seed recent history when Rolling is shown; later live observations extend it. No second connection is required.
  4. Check the last observation time. A delayed feed remains delayed. As new values arrive or older values leave the trailing window, a Rolling candle's Open can move and its wick can shrink.

What you should see

The selected mode changes Candle Pulse only. Trend Matrix 360 keeps its own independent timeframes and EMA calculations.

If it still doesn't work

If a candle remains partial or stale, record the app version, mode, timeframe, feed/session status and visible label for support. Do not send Alpaca credentials.
