Signal Settings

Signal Mode

Overview

The Signal Mode feature is the core of the indicator's trade signal generation. It allows you to choose between two distinct trading algorithms to match your strategy:

  1. Confirmation – This mode is designed for trend-following. It generates signals that align with the established market trend, helping you enter trades in the direction of the primary momentum.

  2. Contrarian – This mode is designed to identify potential market reversals. It generates signals against the current trend, helping you spot potential tops and bottoms.

You can also choose between a Default and an AI-Enhanced algorithm. The AI-Enhanced option uses a more advanced model to provide higher-quality signals with better filtering.

Settings

You can configure the Signal Mode and adjust its sensitivity and speed to fit your trading style.

Setting
Description

Signal Mode

Selects the signal generation algorithm.

Signal Sensitivity

Controls how sensitive the algorithm is to price changes. Lower values are more sensitive and generate more signals, while higher values are less sensitive and produce fewer, higher-confidence signals.

Signal Velocity

Controls how quickly the algorithm reacts to market changes. Auto is recommended as it adapts to market conditions.

Advanced Algorithm

Toggles between the Default signal algorithm and the more advanced AI-Enhanced algorithm for higher-quality signals.

Best Practices & Usage

  • Match the Mode to the Market:

    • Use Confirmation mode in clearly trending markets to follow the momentum.

    • Use Contrarian mode in ranging or choppy markets to identify potential turning points.

  • Start with AI-Enhanced:

    • The AI-Enhanced algorithm is recommended for most users as it provides better signal filtering and higher quality.

  • Adjust Sensitivity for Your Trading Style:

    • Scalpers and Day Traders: May prefer a lower Signal Sensitivity (e.g., 3-6) for faster signals.

    • Swing and Position Traders: May prefer a higher Signal Sensitivity (e.g., 7-12) to focus on more significant, confirmed trends.

Trade Exits

Overview

The Trade Exits feature provides intelligent, visual cues on your chart to highlight potential exit points for your trades. These signals are designed to appear when market momentum shows signs of slowing down or reversing, helping you make more informed decisions about when to take profit or cut losses.

Settings

You can enable or disable the exit signals and adjust their sensitivity.

Setting
Description

Trade Exits

Turns the intelligent trade exit signals on or off.

Trade Exits Sensitivity

Controls the sensitivity of the exit detection. A lower value is more responsive and will show more potential exit signals. A higher value is less responsive and will only show higher-confidence exit signals.

Best Practices & Usage

  • Use as a Confirmation Tool: Trade Exits are best used as a "second opinion" to help you manage open positions. An exit signal can serve as a warning that the current trend may be losing strength.

  • Manage Risk: If a trade is in profit and an exit signal appears, you might consider taking partial profits or tightening your stop loss.

  • Adjust Sensitivity to Your Risk Tolerance:

    • If you have a lower risk tolerance, use a lower Exit Sensitivity (e.g., 1-2) to receive earlier warnings.

    • If you prefer to give your trades more room to move, use a higher sensitivity (e.g., 3-5).

Signal Autopilot

Overview

The Signal Autopilot feature simplifies the configuration process by automatically optimizing the indicator's Signal Sensitivity and Signal Velocity settings for different trading styles. This is perfect for users who want a quick and reliable setup without needing to manually fine-tune every parameter.

Settings

You can choose from three pre-configured presets or disable Autopilot to use your manual settings.

Setting
Description

Disabled

When selected, the indicator will use the manual Signal Sensitivity and Signal Velocity settings you have configured.

Short-term

Automatically optimizes the signal settings for short-term trading, such as scalping or day trading.

Mid-term

Automatically optimizes the signal settings for mid-term trading styles.

Long-term

Automatically optimizes the signal settings for long-term swing or position trading.

Best Practices & Usage

  • For Quick Setup: Use Signal Autopilot when you want a reliable baseline configuration without manual adjustments. Select the preset that best matches your typical trading timeframe.

  • For Customization: If you want to fine-tune the signal behavior, set the Autopilot to Disabled and adjust the Signal Sensitivity and Signal Velocity manually.

  • Match to Your Timeframe:

    • Use Short-term for timeframes like 1-minute to 15-minute charts.

    • Use Mid-term for timeframes like the 1-hour chart.

    • Use Long-term for timeframes like the 4-hour or daily charts.
