# Configuration

By
Kram

OptiStruct has a plethora of settings enabling you to configure not only the look and feel of the indicator, but also the functionality so that you can tailor your experience to your exact needs. OptiStruct aims to be unopinionated about the way that you trade so that it can be moulded around you and the elements of the strategy that you use. Let's start by opening up the configuration options.

# View the settings

Please take a look at the official Tradingview documentation if you are unsure on how to view the configuration settings for the indicators that are applied to your chart and the return to this page for the OptiStruct specific configuration options.
