#### Adjusting Settings

To open the settings menu, place your mouse pointer over the indicator title on your chart. You will then see a list of icons appear, and click on the gear ⚙️ icon.

You can also open the settings panel by double-clicking any element displayed by the toolkit, such as the signals, overlays, or the dashboard itself.

#### Alert Types:

The indicator provides two independent alert systems:

| Alert      | Chart Label                | Description                         |
| ---------- | -------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| OB Signal  | BUY / SELL (triangle)      | Based on Order Block Breaker retest |
| FVG Signal | •BUY / •SELL (small arrow) | Based on matured Fair Value Gap     |

***

#### Settings Overview:

**Enable/Disable Signals**

| Setting             | Location                | What it controls                                   |
| ------------------- | ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Order Block Signals | VOLUMETRIC ORDER BLOCKS | Turns OB BUY/SELL signals on/off                   |
| FVG Filters         | IMBALANCE CONCEPT       | Shows FVG zones on chart (required for FVG alerts) |
| FVG Signals         | IMBALANCE CONCEPT       | Turns FVG BUY/SELL signals on/off                  |

\> Both FVG Filters and FVG Signals must be ON to receive FVG alerts.

**Filter Alert Direction**

Setting: Signals Alerts Type (under ANY ALERT() FUNCTION CALL CONDITIONS)

| Mode | BUY alerts | SELL alerts |
| ---- | ---------- | ----------- |
| All  | Yes        | Yes         |
| Buy  | Yes        | No          |
| Sell | No         | Yes         |
| None | No         | No          |

This filter applies to both OB and FVG alerts simultaneously.

#### How to Create an Alert on TradingView

1. Add mrD-Smart Ranges to your chart
2. Press Alt + A (or click the alarm clock icon)
3. Set Condition to mrD-Smart Ranges
4. Set the second dropdown to Any alert() function call
5. Choose your preferred notification method (pop-up, email, webhook, etc.)
6. Click Create

\> Important: You must select Any alert() function call — other condition options will not work.

#### 💡 Recommended Setup

Step 1 — Choose which signals you want:

* Only OB signals → turn OFF FVG Signals
* Only FVG signals → turn OFF Order Block Signals
* Both → keep both ON

Step 2 — Choose direction filter:

* Long-only strategy → set Signals Alerts Type = Buy
* Short-only strategy → set Signals Alerts Type = Sell
* Both directions → set Signals Alerts Type = All

Step 3 — Create ONE alert with Any alert() function call — it will capture all enabled signals automatically. No need to create separate alerts for each signal type.

***

#### 💡 Tips

* Each alert fires once per bar — no duplicate alerts on the same candle.
* Alerts work on any symbol and any timeframe.
* To receive alerts on multiple timeframes, open separate charts for each timeframe and create an alert on each.
* Use a webhook in the alert notification settings to forward messages to Telegram, Discord, or other platforms.
* The FVG Extend setting (default: 50) controls how many bars an FVG must survive before it can generate signals — higher values mean fewer but more reliable FVG alerts.
