# Pair processing **Pair processing example for 1 exchange:** * 2 enabled trading pairs * Exchange delay set to 5 * "Processing" below means that Gunbot retrieves data and trades when strategy trading conditions happen in that round * First round of pair 1 is processed * Waits 5 seconds (as defined in the exchange delay) * First round of pair 2 is processed * Waits 5 seconds * Second round of pair 1 is processed * Waits 5 seconds * Second round of pair 2 is processed. * ... continues cycling through further rounds {% hint style="info" %} **Parallel processing of multiple exchanges** If you have trading pairs across multiple exchanges, each exchange will process pairs in parallel. This means that a pair on exchange 1 does not wait for pairs on exchange 2 to be processed first. Every exchange will individually cycle through enabled pairs like described above. Each exchange can have it's individual delay setting. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
