        What are good rules of thumb to avoid over-optimization with this tool?

            Recommended Rules to Avoid Over-Optimization:

            1. 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

            1. Prioritize HTF Trend

            Trade only in the direction of HTF (Higher Timeframe)
            Ignore OB signals against HTF (this indicator already has HTF filter functionality)

            1. Focus on ★OB (Strong Order Blocks)

            ★OB right after CHoCH has the highest reliability
            Use regular OBs as secondary reference

            1. Test Across Multiple Pairs & Timeframes

            Don't optimize parameters for just one currency pair
            Verify functionality across at least 3-5 different markets

            1. Stick to Simple Rules
              ✓ Confirm HTF Trend
              ✓ Wait for CHoCH
              ✓ Enter on ★OB touch
              ✓ Exit at 🎯TP
            2. What to Avoid

            ❌ Adjusting parameters to perfectly fit historical data
            ❌ Changing settings every week
            ❌ Adding too many conditions
            ❌ Making decisions based on backtesting alone

            1. Recommended Approach

            Run on demo account for first 2-4 weeks
            Review settings only once per month
            Consider adjustments only when market volatility changes significantly

            Since 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.
