Study Customization
Symbolik allows users to customize the studies to their individual preferences. This includes actual calculation settings as well as display settings. These changes can be made in two different places with two different effects. You can customize your settings from the HUD to make changes specifically to the instance currently displayed on the chart. These customizations will be deleted when the study is removed from the chart. If you make custom settings changes from the Studies Menu, these changes will become the default settings and apply to each instance applied to your charts going forward.
You can also save multiple versions of custom settings or Presets. More information about Presets can be found HERE.
From the HUD (Heads Up Display)
Custom settings changes made from the HUD will apply ONLY to the current instance on the chart. These changes will not affect any preset or default settings. These settings will be deleted when the study is removed from the chart.
Please note that when you make changes to the settings from the HUD, a chart tool preview will allow you to review these adjustments before applying them to the chart instance. For a demonstration, please refer to the video below.
You can click the drop down menu to Save or Save As & Apply to save your changes made in the HUD Settings Modal as a Preset.
From the Study Menu
Settings changes made from the Studies Menu will affect preset or default settings. These changes will not affect any current instances displayed on the chart.
You can click the drop down menu to Save or Save As & Apply to save your changes made as a Preset.
