What are good rules of thumb to avoid over-optimization with this tool?
- AAI_PROGRAMMING
Recommended Rules to Avoid Over-Optimization:
- Use Default Settings as Baseline
Swing Length: 20, Internal Length: 5 are universal values that work across most markets
Start with these and only fine-tune when necessary- Prioritize HTF Trend
Trade only in the direction of HTF (Higher Timeframe)
Ignore OB signals against HTF (this indicator already has HTF filter functionality)- Focus on ★OB (Strong Order Blocks)
★OB right after CHoCH has the highest reliability
Use regular OBs as secondary reference- Test Across Multiple Pairs & Timeframes
Don't optimize parameters for just one currency pair
Verify functionality across at least 3-5 different markets- Stick to Simple Rules
✓ Confirm HTF Trend
✓ Wait for CHoCH
✓ Enter on ★OB touch
✓ Exit at 🎯TP - What to Avoid
❌ Adjusting parameters to perfectly fit historical data
❌ Changing settings every week
❌ Adding too many conditions
❌ Making decisions based on backtesting alone- Recommended Approach
Run on demo account for first 2-4 weeks
Review settings only once per month
Consider adjustments only when market volatility changes significantlySince this indicator already has multi-layered filters (HTF, Structure, OB strength), the key to success is focusing on signal "selection" rather than excessive parameter tuning.
