Settings

This indicator has a broad control surface. The point of this page is not to make you memorize every input. The point is to help you change settings in an order that keeps the pane readable. Start with the controls that decide whether a slot is present, what context it is reading, and whether that context is settled. Only then move into smoothing families, weights, and advanced parameters. When a settings menu gets this wide, it can either help you build something you understand or bury you in honorable-looking confusion. If the pane starts feeling smarter than you can explain, the right answer is usually not another setting. It is a smaller stack and a clearer reason for the next change. That is why this page is sequenced the way it is. The order is part of the teaching, not decoration.

How to use this page without getting buried

Read the settings in three passes:

Pass	Focus	Why this comes first
1	slot participation, slot context, and timing posture	these controls decide whether the stack is valid and what evidence each slot is even reading
2	slot stochastic construction	these controls shape how each slot reacts after the stack is already legal and understandable
3	blend behavior, master smoothing, and advanced MA-family depth	these controls polish or widen the read after the slot jobs already make sense

Start with these settings first

If you are new to the tool, focus on these before anything else:

Enable Stoch 01-10
Hide Stoch 01 Plot through Hide Stoch 10 Plot
TimeFrame:
Optional Ticker:
K Length:
K Smoothing:
K Type:
D Length:
D Type:
Blended Weight:
On Bar Close?
Plot Blended K/D
Enable Master Smoothing

Those controls shape most of what the tool feels like in live use.

What to leave alone on the first pass:

Optional Ticker:
slots 4 through 10
master smoothing
advanced MA-family parameters that your chosen family does not even use

Leaving those alone at first is not about being conservative for its own sake. It keeps cause and effect visible while you are still learning what one slot and one blend are actually doing.

Four settings people confuse most often

Enable Stoch NN

This decides whether the slot calculates at all.

Use it when: you want the slot active; you want the slot eligible for slot alerts; you want the slot eligible for alignment logic; you want the slot available for the blend if it also has a positive weight

Hide Stoch NN Plot

This changes visibility only.

Use it when: you want the slot logic active but do not want the line on-screen; you are keeping a diagnostic slot in the background; you want a slot to continue affecting logic while reducing clutter

Do not use it when you actually want the slot gone. Hidden is still active.

Blended Weight:

This decides how much a slot influences the blended summary.

Use it when: you want one slot to matter more or less inside the blend; you want a slot available for local reading or alerts without letting it shape the summary

Weight 0 removes the slot from the blended math. It does not disable the slot.

On Bar Close?

This decides whether that slot uses settled requested-context values or still-forming requested-context values.

Use it when: you want a steadier higher-timeframe read that is easier to compare with history; you want to test how earlier, still-forming slot behavior changes the feel of the stack

This is a trust-setting, not a style-setting. If you are not ready to compare confirmed versus live-forming behavior on replay or on an unfinished requested bar, leave this on.

Settings by decision role

1. Slot participation and visibility

These controls answer: which slots exist, and which ones do you want to see?

Exact labels	What they control	Good first-use posture	Main misuse risk
Enable Stoch 01-10	whether the slot calculates at all	keep the shipped first three active and leave the rest off	enabling extra slots before they have a clear job
Hide Stoch 01 Plot through Hide Stoch 10 Plot	whether the slot line is drawn	leave active slots visible until you understand them	hiding a slot and forgetting it is still live
Line Width:	visual emphasis of that slot line	keep the default width first	thicker lines can feel more authoritative without improving the read

2. Slot context

These controls answer: what series is this slot reading, and where is it reading it from?

Exact labels	Default posture	What changes when you move it	Main misuse risk
Source:	close	which price series feeds the slot's raw stochastic	changing source before the baseline makes sense
TimeFrame:	5, 15, and 60 on slots 1-3; blank on slots 4-10	the slot's requested timeframe	using a timeframe below the chart timeframe and causing a runtime error
Optional Ticker:	blank	whether the slot reads the chart symbol or another symbol	treating another ticker like proof instead of context

Important notes: a blank TimeFrame: inherits the chart timeframe; an enabled slot timeframe must stay at or above the chart timeframe; Optional Ticker: changes only that slot; it does not change the whole stack; when you change both timeframe and ticker on the same slot at once, it gets much harder to tell which change actually helped

What to verify after changing slot context: change only one slot's TimeFrame: or Optional Ticker:; confirm that slot changes while the rest of the stack stays controlled; if the chart errors, fix legality before you try to interpret the pane again

3. Slot stochastic construction

These controls answer: how quickly does the slot react, and how calm do K and D become?

Exact labels	Default	What they influence	Good reason to change them
K Length:	14	the raw stochastic lookback	you want a faster or slower raw read
K Smoothing:	3	how much raw stochastic is calmed before it becomes the visible K line	you want less noise or less lag after the baseline is understood
K Type:	SMA	the smoothing family used to build K	you want a different response shape, not a prestige upgrade
D Length:	3	how quickly the internal D line reacts to K	you want K-versus-D state to become calmer or faster
D Type:	SMA	the smoothing family used to build D	you want a different response shape for slot state and flip behavior

The visible slot line is K only. D stays internal, but it still governs slot color, slot bullish or bearish state, and slot flip alerts.

What to verify after changing stochastic construction: change one slot only; compare how quickly that slot leaves and returns toward the midpoint relative to unchanged slots; watch whether slot color and slot flip behavior changed for a reason you can name

If you can describe only that the slot looks "better" or "cleaner," you do not have enough evidence yet to keep the change.

4. Timing

These controls answer: is this slot using settled requested-context information or a still-forming read?

Exact label	Default	What it means in practice	Main caution
On Bar Close? on	on	the slot uses the last settled requested-context values	steadier also means later
On Bar Close? off	off only when you choose it	the slot can move with the still-forming requested bar	earlier does not mean final

Keep all active slots on the same timing posture until you can explain the difference from observation, not theory.

What to verify after changing timing: duplicate one higher-timeframe slot when possible; keep one version confirmed and one live-forming; watch them through replay or during a still-open requested bar before deciding the earlier read is worth the weaker trust boundary

5. Blend influence and display

These controls answer: how should the summary behave, and how visible should it be?

Exact labels	Default	What they do	Main caution
Blended Weight:	33.3 on slots 1-3; 0 on slots 4-10	changes how strongly each active slot shapes the blend	zero weight removes blend influence only
Plot Blended K/D	on	shows or hides the blended visuals	hidden visuals do not remove blended alerts
Blended Line Width:	3	changes blend line emphasis	visual emphasis is not stronger evidence
Overbought Level	70	sets the upper stretch line and related blended alert threshold	this is not classic stochastic 80
Oversold Level	-70	sets the lower stretch line and related blended alert threshold	this is not classic stochastic 20 translated directly

If every enabled slot has weight 0, the blended summary becomes unavailable. Treat that as a setup choice, not as market information.

What to verify after changing blend behavior: set one slot to weight 0 and confirm the blend recalculates without it; check whether alignment still includes the slot if it remains enabled; if you hide a positively weighted slot, confirm you still know it is shaping the summary

If you lose track of which slots are weighted, stop changing weights and label the jobs again before moving on.

6. Master smoothing

These controls answer: should the blended summary get one more calming pass after it is built?

Exact labels	Default	What they do	Main caution
Enable Master Smoothing	off	turns on a final smoothing pass for blended K and blended D	smoother is not automatically safer
Master MA Type	EMA	chooses the smoothing family for that final pass	different family means a different delay or shape tradeoff
Master Length	3	controls how heavy that final pass is	more calm usually means later response

Turn this on only after you understand the unsmoothed blend.

What to verify after changing master smoothing: toggle it on and off while leaving the slot stack unchanged; compare midpoint shifts, regime changes, and threshold crosses before deciding the calmer summary is actually more useful

Advanced MA-family controls

This pro build exposes 21 smoothing families across slot K smoothing, slot D smoothing, and master smoothing:

SMA
EMA
RMA
WMA
VWMA
HMA
ALMA
SWMA
DEMA
TEMA
TRIMA
LSMA
KAMA
JMA
FRAMA
T3MA
VAMA
ZLMA
ZLEMA
LAGUERRE
MCGINLEY

Treat that menu as a response-shape menu, not as a ladder from simple to elite.

Extra controls that only matter for some families

The following controls matter only when you choose families that actually use them:

ALMA Floor Offset?
ALMA Offset
ALMA Sigma
KAMA/FRAMA Fast
KAMA/FRAMA Slow
Jurik Phase
Jurik Power
Laguerre Alpha
VAMA Vol Length

Those surfaces exist for slot K, slot D, and master smoothing. If you are using a family that ignores one of those controls, moving it will not improve the output. This is a common source of empty tuning. The risk here is not only wasted time. It is the feeling that you have become more precise when nothing on the chart actually changed for a meaningful reason.

Verification reminder: switch one MA family at a time; leave the rest of the slot unchanged; if you cannot describe the response-shape difference afterward, undo the change and move on

A safe tuning order

When you do start changing settings, use this order:

confirm the active slots are valid on the current chart
decide whether each active slot has a clear job
change timeframe or source
change timing posture only when you are ready to compare confirmed versus live-forming behavior
change K and D construction
change weights
add master smoothing
explore alternate MA families and their advanced parameters

That order keeps you closer to cause and effect.

Three quick examples

I want less clutter, but I still want a slot active

Use Hide Stoch NN Plot. Do not disable the slot if you still want its alerts, alignment contribution, or local logic.

I want to watch a slot without letting it shape the blend

Leave the slot enabled and set Blended Weight: to 0. That keeps the slot available for slot reading and slot alerts, but it removes it from the blended summary.

I want a calmer summary, not calmer slot lines

Leave the slots alone and test Enable Master Smoothing with a short Master Length. Then compare the smoothed and unsmoothed blend before deciding the calmer version is actually better for your workflow.

Good habits while tuning

change one family of settings at a time
verify each change on the chart before stacking another change on top of it
keep notes on what each active slot is meant to do
disable unused slots instead of leaving them active out of habit
treat another symbol as a deliberate context choice, not a confidence boost

When to stop changing settings and simplify

Stop and reduce the stack if any of these become true:

you can describe the new look, but not the reason it changed
you no longer know which slots are shaping the blend
you changed timing, weighting, and smoothing in the same session and lost cause and effect
you are browsing MA families because the chart feels uncertain, not because you identified a specific workflow problem

When that happens, go back to the smallest stack you can still explain. That is usually the fastest way back to something worth trusting.

Where to go next

Visuals and Logic: learn how the visible lines and hidden D logic work together

MTF and Repainting: verify the timing model before mixing trust postures

Workflows: see how to assign actual jobs to slots instead of collecting settings

Visual placeholder: Settings capture with one active slot expanded, that slot's power-user timing block visible, and the master smoothing section open so the three control layers are easy to distinguish.
