Hello, the different customization options on the Buy Sell Indicator are so that everyone can customize the indicators to suit their own unique trading style. Example: For the 1 hour chart, you probably want early entries, so scalp mode with a 1 candle trail length is great. Whereas on the 1 minute timeframe, many users like Long Swing Mode instead because it holds positions as long as possible(Long Swing Mode has a 10 candle trail length built in without changing any settings, as mentioned in the description). This is the basis for being able to customize the settings, it is actually very useful if you familiarize yourself with how it works and set it up how it performs best for your unique style of trading. Some people like to scalp, some people like to swing trade, and everyone trades different tickers and timeframes. That's why there is the option to customize. But the default settings work fine, you can just switch to a different mode and not change the candle trail or candle size settings at all and they work fine. To address the 1 min, 5 min comment, some people trade the 2 min, 3 min, 10 min, 45 min, 5 hour, etc which would make the code base MUCH longer than it currently is, and probably wouldn't perform any better because the algo is reading the most recent candles no matter what timeframe you are on. Hope that clears up the reasoning for the optional customization settings. Feel free to reach out to us if you need help with any of the settings or have questions about what settings would work best for your trading style. We're happy to help when we can.
