> **Quick Summary:** Thresholds define the oscillator levels that trigger buy/sell signals. Adjust them to control signal frequency and quality.

### 📊 What They Do

These thresholds set the **overbought** and **oversold** boundaries for trade signals:

| Threshold | Function           | Crossing Direction           | Signal Type    |
| --------- | ------------------ | ---------------------------- | -------------- |
| **Upper** | Buy trigger level  | Oscillator crosses **above** | 🟢 Buy Signal  |
| **Lower** | Sell trigger level | Oscillator crosses **below** | 🔴 Sell Signal |

### ⚙️ Configuration Guide

#### Upper Threshold (Default: 70)

* **Lower values (60-65):** More signals, less momentum required
* **Higher values (75-80):** Fewer signals, stronger conviction

#### Lower Threshold (Default: 30)

* **Higher values (35-40):** More signals, less bearish momentum needed
* **Lower values (20-25):** Fewer signals, stronger bearish confirmation

### 🎯 Quick Setup Presets

| Trading Style        | Upper | Lower | Result                          |
| -------------------- | ----- | ----- | ------------------------------- |
| **📈 Aggressive**    | 65    | 35    | More frequent signals           |
| **⚖️ Balanced**      | 70    | 30    | Default - good for most markets |
| **🎖️ Conservative** | 75    | 25    | Fewer, high-conviction signals  |

### 🤖 Mode Compatibility

| Mode             | Threshold Behavior                         |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| **Normal/Smart** | ✅ Fully customizable                       |
| **AI Mode**      | ⚡ Auto-optimized (manual settings ignored) |
| **HL Sniper**    | 🚫 Not applicable (uses different logic)   |
| **AI Sniper**    | ⚡ Auto-optimized via  advanced parameters  |

### 💡 Pro Tips

1. **Start with defaults** (70/30) and adjust based on results
2. **Narrow the gap** (e.g., 65/35) for ranging markets
3. **Widen the gap** (e.g., 75/25) for trending markets
4. **Monitor win rate** - if too low, widen the thresholds
5. **Check signal frequency** - if too few signals, narrow the gap
