Is TRADES_TIMEOUT measured in seconds or minutes

In the GUI it says TRADES_TIMEOUT is measured in minutes, however on the Wiki it says seconds. If set to 600 what is it going to be waiting for, 600 seconds, or 600 minutes?

I had the same question until I read the Wiki.  It's seconds, so 600 = 10 minutes.

"TRADES_TIMEOUT   600   Values: numerical – represent time in seconds. This sets a timeout preventing any trades to be placed for a pair after the last order and after starting the bot. Use this to prevent double buys or fast consecutive buy orders when averaging down. Affects buy and sell orders. When the timeout is active you will see Waiting to Trade - Safety Switch is on in the logs."
