Was thinking lately as I've been reading all the new method posts with a bunch of indicators with different settings for each instrument, different settings for each bar type, etc...
Wouldn't it be easier and better to put some effort into creating an adaptive algorithm for some of these, so there is some consistency.
There would still need to be some sort of magnitude or sensitivity setting because of how different people trade (scalp/swing etc), but most "lengths" and "ATR" type fields could be replaced with an adaptive algorithm that literally changes itself depending on what size of chart it is on and the volatility of the instrument.
