# Settings
The Market Structure & Price Action Toolkit includes several input parameters that allow users to customize the analysis according to their trading preferences.
### Input Parameter Settings
| SYSTEM | It determines the active system for analysis to switch between Market Structure, Grid, or turning the system off.
Note: This setting directly impacts the type of analysis performed and the visual elements displayed on the chart.
|
| --------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| ZONES\_SR | It controls the type of retail zones to display, offering options like Highs/Lows and Confirmed Highs/Lows. |
| Volume\_OB | It enables or disables the volume metric order block feature. |
| periods | It defines the number of periods for volume order block calculation
Note: It influences the breadth of volume trends considered.
|
| Filt | It is a boolean input to filter order blocks for institutional relevance, potentially reducing the number of displayed order blocks. |
| ZONES\_OB | It controls the type of institutional zones to display, such as Supply/Demand or Orderblocks. |
| ZONES\_Fibb | It enables or disables the Fibonacci feature. |
#### 1. SYSTEM
**Default:** Off
Determines the system to be used: Market Structure, Grid, or Off.
SYSTEM paramter changes the focus of the script between market structure analysis and grid system.
Recommended Values:
* **Conservative:** Off
* **Moderate:** Market Structure
* **Aggressive:** Grid
{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip:** Choose Market Structure for trend analysis and Grid for range-bound markets.
{% endhint %}
#### 2. ZONES\_SR
**Default:** Off
Determines the type of retail zones to be used: Highs/Lows, Confirmed Highs/Lows, or Off.
ZONES\_SR paramter changes the type of support and resistance zones plotted on the chart.
Recommended Values:
* **Conservative:** Off
* **Moderate:** Highs/Lows
* **Aggressive:** Confirmed Highs/Lows
{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip:** Use Highs/Lows for a broader view and Confirmed Highs/Lows for more precise levels.
{% endhint %}
#### 3. Volume\_OB
**Default:** Volume metric OB
Determines whether Volume metric Order Blocks are used.
Volume\_OB paramter enables or disables the plotting of volume metric order blocks.
Recommended Values:
* **Conservative:** Off
* **Moderate:** Volume metric OB
* **Aggressive:** Volume metric OB
{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip:** Enable for additional insights into order block significance based on volume.
{% endhint %}
#### 4. periods
**Default:** 2
Defines the number of periods for Volume metric Order Blocks.
"periods" parameter affects the sensitivity of order block identification based on volume.
Recommended Values:
* **Conservative:** 3
* **Moderate:** 2
* **Aggressive:** 1
{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip:** Increase periods for more significant order blocks; decrease for more frequent signals.
{% endhint %}
Here's an example. In a highly volatile market, you might increase the "periods" setting for volume order blocks to capture broader volume trends. And in a more stable market, a lower setting might be preferred for more immediate insights.
#### 5. Filt
Boolean to filter institutional Order Blocks.
Filt parameter filters order blocks to capture only institutional order blocks.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip:** Enable to focus on potentially more relevant institutional order blocks.
{% endhint %}
The "Filt" parameter can be enabled to focus on institutional-level order blocks, which are often more reliable indicators of significant market moves.
### Visual Settings
#### 1. UpStructure
**Default:** color.rgb(91, 200, 94)
Color for upward market structure lines. Choose a color that stands out against your chart background for better visibility.
#### 2. DnStructure
**Default:** color.red
Color for downward market structure lines. Choose a color that contrasts with upward lines for clear differentiation.
#### 3. textColor
**Default:** color.gray
Color for text labels on the chart. Customization Tips: Ensure text color is readable against your chart background.
### Advanced Settings
#### 1. autoFibb
It determines the length of the Fibonacci sequence used for analysis. Longer sequences provide broader levels, while shorter sequences offer more detailed levels.
#### 2. alert\_combine
Combines multiple alert conditions into a single alert. It may result in fewer alerts but potentially more significant signals.
We recommend using a combination of these settings to create a multi-layered analysis approach. For instance, use the [Market Structure](https://www.zeiierman.com/indicators/market-structure-and-price-action-toolkit#:~:text=Market%20Structure%20deals%20with%20the,be%20moving%20in%20the%20market.) system to identify the overall trend, then refine entry and exit points using [support and resistance zones](https://www.zeiierman.com/indicators/trend-support-resistance-levels-zones). Finally, confirm these levels with [volume-based order blocks](https://www.zeiierman.com/indicators/volume-orderbook).
Additionally, [Fibonacci levels](https://www.zeiierman.com/blog/fibonacci-retracement-levels) can be used in conjunction with these other tools to set precise entry and exit points, especially in swing trading strategies.
