# Recommended Sensitivity

### 🎯 Recommended Indicator Sensitivity

The **Indicator Sensitivity** setting tells Swift Algo how much market noise to filter out - it controls how "zoomed out" the signal logic is.

But first, let’s answer the most common question:

#### 🕰️ Which Timeframe Should I Trade On?

It depends on your trading style:

* **1-Minute (1M)** – Want **3+ trades a day**? Go here. Perfect for scalpers.
* **5-Minute (5M)** – Looking for **1–2 quality trades per day**? This is your sweet spot.
* **15-Minute (15M)** – More of a **swing trader**? This gives you fewer trades, but more structure.
* **30-Minute+** – Suitable for **position trades** or those with limited screen time.

#### ⚙️ What Sensitivity Should I Choose?

Once you’ve picked your timeframe, here’s what we recommend for best results:

| Your Chart Timeframe | Recommended Sensitivity | Want More Signals? Use: |
| -------------------- | ----------------------- | ----------------------- |
| **1M**               | 15M                     | 5M                      |
| **5M**               | 1H                      | 30M                     |
| **15M**              | 4H                      | 1H                      |
| **30M**              | 4H                      | –                       |
| **1H+**              | 1D                      | –                       |

The **higher the sensitivity**, the **fewer but higher-quality** signals you’ll get. Lower sensitivity gives **more signals**, but can sometimes be a bit noisier.
