Every Market Structure Pro Setting, Explained

The settings window has ten sections. That number puts people off, so here is the honest position: you need one of them. The rest are there for when you want them.

The short version

Set Section 01 and stop. The defaults in every other section were chosen to work without adjustment, and changing them at random is the fastest way to make MSP worse.

Section 01: Start Here

Trading Style, Risk Profile, Quick Setup Preset and Learning Mode. This is the only section most people ever open.

Section 02: Signal Settings

The thresholds and filters that decide whether a signal is allowed at all. This is where the score threshold lives, along with the trend strength, ranging, volume and spread filters.

Two settings here catch people out. Allow trend-continuation entries, when turned off, means only key-level entries can fire. What type of trader are you?, when set to Rebound and Rejection Only, does the same thing by a different route. Either one will dramatically reduce how often you see a signal.

Section 03: Trade Plan

Stop and target sizing, the reward to risk minimums, your risk percentage, and the colours of the lines on the chart.

The settings worth knowing: stop size in ATR multiples, the two target multiples, the hard ceiling on stop size, and the maximum distance price may be from the level before the setup counts as missed.

Section 04: Dashboard Display

On and off switches for each card, the state dot trail, the bottom dashboard, and compact mode. Purely cosmetic, so experiment freely. Nothing here changes a single signal.

If the dashboard feels overwhelming, turning off the Divergence, Move Potential and VWAP cards removes about a third of the text without losing anything you need in the first month.

Section 05: Alerts

Pop-up, sound, email and push notification settings, and which events trigger them.

Section 06: Key Levels

Which structural levels are drawn: Camarilla pivots, previous day and week highs and lows. Turning these off does not stop MSP using them internally, it just removes the lines from the chart.

Section 07: Chart Indicators

Whether the moving averages, VWAP and support and resistance lines are drawn on the chart itself. Again cosmetic.

Section 08: Metrics Panel

Fine control over the metrics card contents. Safe to leave alone.

Section 09: Advanced Settings

Module weights, multi-timeframe configuration and engine internals. This is where you go if you selected the Custom strategy and want to build your own weighting.

Section 10: Support and Debug

Diagnostic logging. Leave this off unless support asks you to turn it on. If you are asked for a log, set the debug mode to LIGHT, reproduce what you saw, then send the contents of the Experts tab.

Getting back to a known-good state

1. Right-click the chart and choose Indicators List.
2. Select Market Structure Pro and click Delete.
3. Drag it on again from the Navigator. It loads with factory defaults.
4. Set only Section 01, then save a template so you never have to do this again.
