# Operating mode

Midas is not just a collection of several indicators — it has **3 global modes**, each with its own set of functions for solving a specific task:

1. [Indicators only](/faq-en/operating-mode/indicators-only.md) - chart analysis
2. [Setup Master ](/faq-en/operating-mode/setup-master-ai.md)- trade breakdown
3. [Autotester](/faq-en/operating-mode/auto-tester.md) - settings testing

❌**Without choosing a mode**\
You may make typical mistakes, fall into traps, and get stopped out, and it will be difficult to figure out which settings are best suited for your market.

✅**With the right mode**\
Midas shows only what you need right now: basic chart analysis, a ready-made AI breakdown of the setup for learning, or honest statistics on past signals for settings.

Each mode is built for its own task, and switching between them is not a “secondary setting” but one of the most important steps for comfortable and clear work with the indicator.

## How to choose a mode

You can change the mode at any time — it is your quick switch between analysis, trade breakdown, and settings testing:

1. Open the settings by clicking ⚙️ next to the indicator name
2. Select the mode that fits your current task by clicking the 1️⃣ list

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Indicators only" %}
The main mode for chart analysis, where only the indicator part is shown on the chart — the entire technical analysis base in one window: automatic support and resistance levels, a price channel with trendlines, horizontal volume profile, whale movements, and money flow (everything extra can be turned off in the settings to reduce chart clutter)

{% hint style="info" %}
**When to use:**

* when you need to calmly analyze the chart manually
* when you want to see the market without extra clutter
* when you are just getting familiar with the Midas logic
* when you trade from your phone
  {% endhint %}

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Setup Master" %}
The maximum mode with real-time AI trade analysis is the latest development, which gives a complete breakdown of the chart with a clear action plan, taking into account trend, volume, volatility, and the current signal🎯

Ideal for detailed analysis, learning, and self-checking before trades.

{% hint style="info" %}
**When to use:**

* when you need to examine a specific situation in more depth
* when you want to test your idea before entering
* when you are learning to read the chart and build setups systematically
* when you want to save time on market analysis
  {% endhint %}

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Autotester" %}
The settings testing mode, where all indicators are hidden and a table is displayed with the history of all past signals in the form of full statistics for the last month and year (signals are not drawn = the information is reliable)

{% hint style="info" %}
**When to use:**

* when you want to test a new strategy or settings
* when you compare different indicator parameters
* when you want to understand how the instrument behaved in a specific market
* when you need to quickly assess statistics without manually scrolling through the chart
  {% endhint %}

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% hint style="success" %}
The mode can be changed at any time — it is a “mode switch” for the current task
{% endhint %}

## Which mode should you choose right now

To avoid confusion, keep this simple logic in mind:

**Need to simply analyze the chart and understand the market**\
→ choose **Indicators only**

**Need to quickly get a more complete breakdown of the situation and a trading plan**\
→ choose **Setup Master AI**

**Need to test settings and view statistics on past signals**\
→ choose **Autotester**

## Frequently asked questions and recommendations

<details>

<summary><strong>Which mode is best for a beginner to start with?</strong></summary>

If you are just getting acquainted with Midas, it is best to start with the **“Indicators only”** mode — it is the main one and helps you calmly understand the basic market logic without unnecessary chart clutter.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Which mode should I choose for regular chart analysis?</strong></summary>

If you need help analyzing the trend, levels, and the overall market picture, choose **“Indicators only”**. This mode is suitable for the main day-to-day work and is used as the basic analysis format.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>When is it better to turn on Setup Master AI?</strong></summary>

This mode should be used when you need a deeper breakdown of a specific situation on the chart: to understand the signal context faster, test the idea before entering, and get a clearer trading scenario. On the page, it is directly presented as a mode for analysis, learning, and self-checking.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Can Setup Master AI be used from a phone?</strong></summary>

It’s better not to. For a phone, the optimal mode is **“Indicators only”**, while Setup Master AI is more convenient to use on a computer so as not to overload the chart and to see the whole breakdown properly.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Why is the Autotester mode needed?</strong></summary>

The Autotester is not for entering a trade, but for quickly testing settings and evaluating past signals on historical data. In this mode, the indicators are hidden, and instead statistics for different periods are shown so you can test ideas faster and make decisions without guessing.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>How do I understand which mode is needed right now?</strong></summary>

The logic is simple: for basic analysis — **“Indicators only”**, for deep breakdown and learning — **Setup Master AI**, for testing settings and statistics — **Autotester**. Each mode has its own separate task, and that is exactly why it is important to choose it according to your current goal.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Do I need to constantly switch between modes?</strong></summary>

Yes, that’s normal. In Midas, the modes are designed as a quick switch for different tasks: in one you analyze the market, in another you break down a trade, in the third you check statistics. It is precisely because of this that the indicator becomes not just a set of functions, but a more flexible working system.
