❓ Configuration FAQ

Which exit type is best for beginners?

Start with Percentage Exit:

  • Predictable results

  • Easy to understand

  • Better risk control

  • Consistent outcomes

Move to Signals/Opposite after 50+ trades experience.

Should I use pyramiding?

Progressive approach:

  1. First 30 trades: No pyramiding

  2. After profitable: Add 1 level

  3. After 100 trades: Consider 2

  4. Expert only: 3+

Always keep total risk under 2%.

How do I know if settings are over-optimized?

Warning signs:

  • Small changes = big result differences

  • Amazing backtest, poor live results

  • Only works on one symbol

  • Requires perfect conditions

Solution: Test on multiple timeframes and symbols.
