How to read cues from the break And test tool

Then, this tool highlights a configurable rule set that fires when states align. Next, a typical workflow looks like this.

Entry idea (long). Wait for a long cue arrow on the configured rule set and confirm with the bar close. Then, wait for the bar to close. Intra-bar values can shift.

Entry idea (short). Wait for a short cue arrow on the configured rule set and confirm with the bar close. The same close rule applies.

Exit idea. A stop placed beyond the most recent swing point and a target at the next reaction level keeps risk readable from the start. Some traders trail with structure. Others trail with the tool itself.

These are concepts, not rules. Next, yet, in practice, backtest on your pair and timeframe before live capital.

FractalDepth (default 2) tunes how the math behaves; BreakoutMaxBars (default 10) sets the averaging length — raise it for smoother, slower cues or lower it for faster, more sensitive ones; RetestMaxBars (default 20) sets the averaging length — raise it for smoother, slower cues or lower it for faster, more sensitive ones. Then, yet, every alert channel — pop-up, sound, email and mobile push — toggles independently in the same inputs panel, and alerts fire once per closed bar.
