Settings Panel
Panel Purpose
Settings do not just change presentation. They change interpretation sensitivity. The settings panel controls how much structure, time, and trade activity the user is asking the system to summarize.
What You Are Looking At
The panel usually groups controls into:
- price context
- depth and bucket settings
- SLS windowing
- trade profile settings
- scanner and recipe settings
Metrics Present
How To Read It
Price Window
Controls the moving context behind Displacement. Short windows react quickly but are noisier. Longer windows are more stable but lag.
Depth Window and Buckets
Controls how far from mid the structure is sampled and how fine the granularity is. Narrow buckets show precision. Wider buckets show the macro shape.
SLS Window
Controls how much structural history is visible. Short windows emphasize regime shifts. Longer windows emphasize persistence.
Trade Profile Controls
Controls size thresholds and fade duration. This changes what qualifies as meaningful participation.
Common Patterns
Over-sensitive Setup
Short price window, tiny buckets, short SLS history, low trade thresholds. Good for experimentation, poor for stable reads.
Stable Setup
Moderate displacement window, enough depth width to see opposing liquidity, and trade tiers calibrated to the pair.
