1️⃣ Inputs Tab: Core Configurations
The Inputs tab allows traders to adjust the calculation parameters, signal visibility, and trend tracking settings.
📌 SAMURAI (Core Prediction & Rank Settings)
These settings define the predictive model and rank-based reversal system used for signal generation.
Period (Default: 200) – Controls the calculation window for predicting market movements.
Prediction in ATR or Percent (Default: ATR) – Defines whether prediction is based on ATR (volatility) or a fixed percentage.
Added Amount of Prediction (Default: 1) – Additional buffer applied to the prediction model.
Rank (Default: 2) – The sensitivity of the Rank-Based Reversal System (higher values may reduce false signals).

✅ Best Practice: Adjust Period and Rank settings based on market conditions—higher values filter out noise, while lower values increase signal sensitivity.
📌 AICLOUD (Momentum & Volatility Filters)
The AICloud system provides real-time momentum filtering and volatility-based price action insights.
