      Recommended Usage Tips

      • Conservative Strategy: Trend Filter (MA or ADX on H1) + Oscillator (RSI or Stochastic on M15) + Candle Break.
      • Aggressive Strategy: Oscillator Signal as entry + Opposite Oscillator as TP.
      • Scalping: Candle Break on M1/M5 + ATR Trailing Stop.
      • Swing Trading: Strong Trend Filter + Risk Reward 1:3 or higher.
