History Settings

If you turn on the “Show Full History”, this allows you to be
able to look back in history and see the visual cues provided
by this tool. This is a key setting when “tuning” the indicator
to whichever market you plan on trading. You can also turn
off full history and only have the “lights” or indicator turned on for a specified period of time,
say ten days.

Bullish/Bearish Arrows

In the settings you can determine the arrows that are displayed and their color.


Blue Light and Sensitivity Slider



Sensitivity Slider: The slider moves on a scale from zero to one hundred. Low sensitivity actually gives you higher numbers, while high sensitivity gives you lower numbers. You can see the sliding scale represented in the on-screen display

Blue Light: Turn on to trail the market with a stop order to help us know the proper time to exit the market. This feature has been dynamically linked between the Parabolic SAR and the Bulls 'n Bears. It creates a hyperbolic link the formulas used to create the buy and sell signals and those to create the stop loss signals. Adjust with the “Sensitivity” slider.
