## Overview

The Wait Time step introduces timed pauses into your strategy execution. This component allows you to create delays between steps or wait for specific market conditions before proceeding with the next action in your strategy.

### Duration Configuration:

Set precisely how long your strategy should wait:

* **Days**: For longer waiting periods (0-∞).
* **Hours**: For medium-duration waits (0-23).
* **Minutes**: For shorter pauses (0-59).
* **Seconds**: For brief delays (0-59).

The form automatically calculates the total duration as you adjust any time unit, displaying a human-readable summary (e.g., "This step will pause execution for 2 days, 5 hours, 30 minutes").

### Price Condition (Optional)

Make your wait step conditional on market movements:

* **Enable/Disable**: Toggle price condition functionality.
* **Condition Type**: Choose "Above" or "Below" to determine what triggers the waiting time.
* **Price Target**: Set the exact price or percentage that will start the wait period.
* **Percentage Mode**: Toggle between absolute price or percentage of current price.
* **Current Price**: View and refresh the current market price.
