To set the right range in your trading strategy, choose select the type and value for short and long Range indicators, each pivotal in market analysis. Opt for either a Simple Moving Average (SMA) or an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to track trends more accurately. Remember, your value must be greater than zero, and crucially, the Long Range value should always exceed the Short Range. This balance ensures a more refined and effective trading approach, essential for the success of mean reversion.

Learn to set optimal stop-loss percentages to protect your capital from significant losses. Equally important is determining take-profit levels to secure gains. Understand that a higher risk threshold often involves a larger stop-loss value, allowing more room for market volatility. Conversely, setting quicker take-profit targets can be a sign of lower risk tolerance, aiming to capture profits early and reduce exposure.
