- OnButtonClick Open New Window: On clicking any dash buttons open that Pair-TimeFrame in a new window with your specified template (next setting)
- Use Template for New Window: Template name without ".tpl". Eg: Create a file Template1.tpl in templates folder and here specify: "Template1".
(only works if previous property set to true). Does not work if on button click is set to open in current window because otherwise you might lose your current window indicators or existing dashboard settings.

- Refresh After Ticks (if shift 0): For shift 0, wait for this number of ticks before refreshing everytime. By default 100. If you want this to refresh faster specify a lower number.
For higher TF use a higher number like 300 or 500.

How to Trade:
Best way to use this indicator is with Support and Resistance, Fibo or other such supporting Indicators. Or any other indicator which might validate that trend is still strong and not near an SR Zone.
Use volatility for further checking the signal. Don't trade when volatility diamond is black and trade carefully when Overbought or Oversold.
You can also use RSI and V-Bands patterns to trade. Like when an RSI "M" forms slightly outside the V-Bands, trade Sell if high volatility. Or if a "W" forms trade Buy.
Important Note:
- Please don't use too many Timeframes and too many Pairs because Scanner will need to scan each and every one and might get slower the more pairs you select.
- Best is to trade trending markets for higher timeframes. For lower timeframes, scalping sideways markets also works well with TDI.
The scanner and TDI system is very useful and a good piece of work but a little heavy on the computer resources.
