400+ Parameters: What You Actually Need to Configure

The Parameter Philosophy

Genesis is built for traders who want control. That means exposing every meaningful configuration option—even ones most users will never touch.

But don't let the number intimidate you. Parameters fall into categories, and most traders only need to configure a handful for their specific use case.

Essential Parameters (Configure These First)

Risk Management Core

Risk per trade: Your base lot size calculation (0.5% - 2% typical)

Max drawdown limit: Account-level protection threshold

Daily loss limit: Per-day protection

Max simultaneous trades: Position exposure limit

Strategy Selection

Strategy type: Choose from pre-built approaches or build custom

Currency pairs: Which instruments to trade

Timeframe: Chart period for analysis

Session Controls

Trading hours: When Genesis is allowed to trade

News filter: Avoid high-impact events

Session preferences: London, New York, Asian focus

Advanced Parameters (Tune After Testing)

Entry Logic

Filter sensitivity: How strict entry conditions should be

Volatility thresholds: Market condition requirements

Correlation checks: Multi-pair exposure management

Exit Logic

Take profit multiplier: Reward ratio configuration

Trailing stop activation: When to engage trailing stops

Partial close levels: Scaling out of positions

Recovery Systems

Recovery mode: Enable/disable recovery trading

Recovery intensity: How aggressive recovery attempts should be

Recovery limits: Maximum recovery iterations

Parameters You Probably Shouldn't Touch

Genesis includes parameters for edge cases and institutional requirements. Unless you specifically need them:

Execution timing parameters: Optimized for typical retail brokers

Internal calculation precision: Set for accuracy/performance balance

Logging verbosity: Configured for useful diagnostics without overhead

The Configuration Process

1. Start with a pre-built strategy that matches your goals

2. Adjust risk parameters to your account size and risk tolerance

3. Configure session controls based on your schedule and preferences

4. Paper trade or backtest before going live

5. Make incremental adjustments based on results

Genesis's power lies in customization, but that doesn't mean you need to customize everything. Start simple, understand each parameter's impact, then refine.
