Settings

The best apart about IQ indicators is their minimal settings and ease of use.

The image above exemplifies the simplicity of Counter Strike IQ. Only 3-4 settings directly affect the performance of Counter Strike and, in most cases, these settings can be left at their default values.

Stop Loss Learning Type

This setting dictates the stop loss type that Counter Strike uses. Options include a fixed stop, trailing stop, or auto. When “auto” is selected, Counter Strike will automatically determine the optimal stop loss type for the market you’re trading. If a fixed stop loss system performs better than Counter Strike will employ it, whereas if a trailing stop loss system performs better than Counter Strike will instead employ a trailing stop.

Minimum ATR Profit & Minimum ATR Stop

These settings control the minimum profit target distance from the entry in ATR and the minimum stop loss distance from the entry in ATR.

These settings are relevant on extremely low timeframes - such as the 1m or 5m. Leaving this setting at “0” allows Counter Strike to automatically determine the minimum profit and stop.

Use EMA

The Use EMA setting forces Counter Strike to use an EMA of a user-defined length as confirmation for breakout signals. When enabled, for a long trade to be entered, an existing resistance level must break while price is trading above the EMA. To enter a short trade, an existing support level must break while price is trading below the EMA.
