Indicator Presets Reference (Presets/)

This document outlines the naming convention and organization for Indicator Preset files (.set). These files store specific input parameter configurations for our indicators, allowing traders to quickly switch between different trading styles (e.g., Scalping vs. Swing) or restore default settings.

Naming Convention

The naming structure is designed to be intuitive, grouping presets first by the indicator they belong to, and then by their intended purpose.

[IndicatorName].[Strategy].[Detail].set

1. [IndicatorName]

The base name of the indicator. This ensures that presets are automatically grouped together in the file explorer.

• Laguerre_ACS
• MACD_Pro
• TSI_Pro
• Cyber_Cycle

2. [Strategy]

The primary trading style or configuration category.

• default: The standard, recommended starting parameters (often Ehlers' defaults).
• scalp: Tuned for high sensitivity and fast reaction (e.g., lower periods, lower gamma).
• swing / trend: Tuned for smoothness and noise reduction (e.g., higher periods, higher gamma).
• ha: Specifically configured for use with Heikin Ashi price sources (e.g., may use different thresholds).

3. [Detail] (Optional)

Specific technical details that distinguish this preset from others in the same strategy.

• fast, slow
• dema, tema (if using specific MA types)
• gamma02, gamma08
• conservative, aggressive
