GENERAL GUIDE
1.1 Opening the Inputs window
🔹 Drag Smart Trend Indicator from the Navigator onto a chart, or double-click it.
🔹 If it is already on the chart: press Ctrl+I, select Smart Trend Indicator and click Edit.
🔹 Open the Inputs tab. Each row has a parameter name (Variable) and a value (Value). Double-click a value to edit it.
🔹 Click OK to apply. The indicator restarts with the new settings.
1.2 Saving and loading settings
🔹 Save: stores all inputs in a .set file for later use or sharing.
🔹 Load: loads a saved .set file.
🔹 Reset: restores all default values of the current version.
1.3 Conventions
🔹 Each parameter is listed with the name shown in the MT5 Variable column (some color parameters show their variable name, e.g. STTS_Custom_VolumeLow).
🔹 Colors are written as RGB red,green,blue.
🔹 User-defined palette = light chart (default). NIGHT palette = dark chart, selected in group 00 or with the CUSTOM/NIGHT panel button.
🔹 While "Use built-in strategy presets" is true, modules are chosen by the strategy; the switches in groups 03 and 04 fully apply only when presets are off.

QUICK SETTING SUGGESTIONS
🔹 Panel too large on a small screen: Main text size = 8, or turn off automatic scaling and set manual scale = 0.9.
🔹 Slow computer: Recent candles = 300; turn off Multi-Timeframe Trend; VP refresh = 10.
🔹 Fewer noisy signals: Smart Filter = true; Alert candle shift = 1; Trailing ATR multiplier = 1.8.
🔹 More signals (scalping): Scalping strategy; Breakout sensitivity = 2; Trailing ATR multiplier = 1.0.
🔹 Alerts on your phone: Mobile push = true; set your MetaQuotes ID in Tools > Options > Notifications.
🔹 Using with an EA: Operating mode = Automation Mode; read buffers 0/1 or 36/37 with iCustom().
🔹 TELEGRAM/WEB buttons open the browser: tick Allow DLL imports when attaching the indicator.
Note: test any change on a demo account or in the Strategy Tester before using it on a live account.
