The safest first configuration
FMP's loaded defaults use one Automatic confirmation/model pair, Require HTF POI on, Require paired CISD on, manual Neutral bias, a Compact monitor, Ghost failed setups off, and SMT history 1. Delivery windows are off until the user deliberately defines a session plan.
Begin by learning what the defaults display before changing what the model admits. Monitor placement, chart layers, the HTF candle stack, history, and the C2/C3 stage toggles change presentation. Bias, time windows, POI, and paired CISD change admission.
- Use a documented Automatic timeframe pair
- Keep HTF POI and paired CISD enabled while learning the model
- Keep Bias neutral until a separate directional process is defined
- Use Past setups = 0 for a clean live chart and 5–10 for deliberate review
