💡 Configuration Philosophy

When using recommended configuration sets:

  • The optimization sets handle technical parameters (SL/TP methods, signal filters, etc.)

  • You customize risk parameters (lot sizing, position limits) for your account

  • Advanced traders can further tune individual settings after understanding EA behavior

For manual configuration (advanced users):

  • Start with a downloaded optimization set as your baseline

  • Make incremental changes and backtest each modification

  • Document your changes to track performance impact

  • Revert to baseline if performance degrades
