Presets allows users to easily enable multiple features at once from a selected option.

Note that when a preset is selected some settings such as the toggles of the displayed overlay indicators can become inactive/not usable. If you wish to further customize the Signals & Overlays® toolkit, we suggest disabling the Preset and manually customizing the settings.

On the other hand, filters allow users to display confirmation/contrarian signals when a specific overlay or metric behavior is respected.

Invalidation Behavior

Show Expand

None

default:true

No invalidation behavior.

Invalidate On Step 1

The “Invalidate On Step 1” behavior allows to reset an incomplete sequence of conditions when the condition on step 1 trigger. This prevents the first step condition from happening in between other steps of the condition sequence.This behavior is useful when the first step of our sequence of conditions needs to never be repeated during the sequence.

Example

Let’s take an example where we use 3 regular steps.

Step 1

Step 1 condition trigger, we will now evaluate step 2 from now on.

Step 2

Step 2 condition trigger, we will now evaluate step 3 from now on.

Step 1 Trigger

Step 1 condition trigger, we start evaluating step 2 from now.

Invalidate On Any Repeated Step

The “Invalidate On Any Repeated Step” behavior allows to reset an incomplete sequence of conditions when a step is triggered such that it does not respect the user-set order of conditions.This behavior is useful when we want a perfectly ordered sequence of conditions to complete, without any step repeating itself.

Example

Let’s take an example where we use 3 regular steps.

Step 1

Step 1 condition trigger, we will now evaluate step 2 from now on.

Step 2

Step 2 condition trigger, we will now evaluate step 3 from now on.

Step 1 or 2 Trigger

Step 1 or 2 conditions trigger, we start evaluating step 1 from now.

Invalidation behaviors allows adding more restrictions to a sequence of conditions, users can use two different invalidation behaviors described below.

Maximum Step Interval

Numerical Input

default:10

Maximum allowed horizontal distance (in bars) between two steps. If the amount of bars since a step exceed the selected threshold, then the conditions sequence is reset, and we start evaluating from step 1 again.

Highlight Custom Alert Triggers

Toggle

default:true

When a custom alert condition is set, a visual element is displayed at the bottom of the chart in order to more easily visualize when the custom alert conditions occurs (displayed by default).
