Max Take Profits per Signal: Maximum number of take profit signals for each trend signal, useful for exiting a trade after a fixed number of signals.
Trend Spine Period: Main calculation period for the Trend Spine. Must be at least 30.
Noise Reduction Factor (Trend Spine): Noise reduction multiplier for Trend Spine. A larger value reduces noise but may prevent signals from being printed.
Source (Trend Spine): The data source for the Trend Spine calculations (e.g., close price).
Fair Value Trail Noise Reduction Factor: Noise reduction factor for Fair Value Trail. A larger input reduces noise and identifies longer-term trends.
Trend Bias Period: Calculation period for the Trend Bias indicator. A larger value identifies longer-term trends.
Base Cloud Deviation: Base deviation of the upper and lower clouds. A larger value increases the distance between clouds.
