# How To Use The Indicator ### Symbols Unfortunately, Meta Trader doesn't allow text boxes for strong buy, strong sell signals, etc. So we had to use symbols instead. We tried choosing the ones that made the most sense. It may seem a little confusing when you first look at it, but after 5 minutes of using it, you get the hang of it.

### Symbol Definitions * **Strong Long** - A strong long is an entry signal to enter a long trade. It is more "confirmed" than a "long". * **Long** - A long is an entry signal to enter a long trade. * **Long Exit** - Will show up if the trade long trade ends up being a losing trade and notifies you to exit the trade. * **Strong Short** - A strong short is an entry signal to enter a short trade. It is more "confirmed" than a "short". * **Short** - A short is an entry signal to enter a short trade. * **Short Exit** - Will show up if the short trade ends up being a losing trade and notifies you to exit the trade. * **Long Retracement** - Will show if the low of the candle reaches the entry value of the trade. * **Short Retracement** - Will show if the high of the candle reaches the entry value of the trade. * **Take Profit 1** - Will show if you are meant to take partial take profit. * **Take profit 2** - Will show if you are meant to close out the entire trade. ### Enabling/Disabling Tools & Changing Settings In order to change the settings of the indicator or enable/disable certain features, double-click on any of the icons on the chart.
