{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Normal/Smart" %}

#### Manual Control

* **You control** sensitivity directly
* **Start with:** 14-18 (balanced)
* **Adjust based** on results

{% code title="Recommended" %}

```
Scalping: 5-10
Day Trading: 10-15
Swing: 18-25
```

* **Works on** all timeframes
* **No extremes** needed

{% hint style="info" %}
V3.0 uses advanced algorithm - extreme values no longer recommended
{% endhint %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="AI Modes" %}

#### Automatic

* **Setting ignored** - AI controls it
* **Leave at** default value
* **AI optimizes** continuously

{% hint style="success" %}
No adjustment needed - AI handles everything
{% endhint %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
