Function getMinutesSinceLatestSignalCreated

Returns the number of whole minutes elapsed since the latest signal's creation timestamp.

Does not distinguish between active and closed signals — measures time since whichever signal was recorded last. Useful for cooldown logic after a stop-loss.

Searches backtest storage first, then live storage. Returns null if no signal exists at all.

Automatically detects backtest/live mode from execution context.

import { getMinutesSinceLatestSignalCreated } from "backtest-kit";

const minutes = await getMinutesSinceLatestSignalCreated("BTCUSDT");
if (minutes !== null && minutes < 24 * 60) {
  return; // cooldown — skip new signal for 24 hours after last signal
}
