               (weight1 + weight2 + weight3)

FAQ

Q: Can I break the indicator with wrong settings? A: Extreme values may cause issues, but defaults can always be restored.

Q: How do I know if my settings are optimal? A: Track win rate, risk:reward, and drawdown over at least 100 trades.

Q: Should I share my optimized settings? A: Settings are often personal and market-dependent. Share concepts, not exact values.

Q: How often do default settings update? A: With major updates only. Your custom settings remain unchanged.

Q: Can I automate setting changes? A: Yes, through API or scheduled templates, but manual oversight recommended.
