Midas is not just a collection of several indicators - it has **3 global modes**, each with its own set of functions to solve 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. [Auto Tester](/faq-en/operating-mode/auto-tester.md) - settings testing

❌**Without selecting a mode**\
You can make common mistakes, fall into traps and get stopped out, and it will be hard to figure out which settings are best 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

The mode can be changed at any time - it's 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

{% 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 unnecessary can be disabled in the settings to lighten the chart)

**When to use:**

* when you need to calmly analyze the chart manually
* when you want to see the market without unnecessary clutter
* when you're just getting acquainted with the logic of Midas

## Frequently asked questions and recommendations

<details>

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

If you're just getting acquainted with Midas, it's best to start with the mode **“Indicators only”** - it is the main one and helps you calmly understand the basic logic of the market without overloading the chart.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Which mode should you 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 everyday core 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, check the idea before entering, and get a clearer trading scenario. On the page, it is presented directly as a mode for analysis, learning, and self-checking.

</details>

<details>

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

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

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Why do you need the Auto Tester mode?</strong></summary>

The Auto Tester is not for entering a trade, but for quickly checking settings and evaluating past signals in history. In this mode, the indicators are hidden, and instead statistics for different periods are shown so that you can test ideas faster and make decisions not blindly.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>How do you know 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 checking settings and statistics - **Auto Tester»**. Each mode has its own separate task, and that is why it is important to choose it according to the current goal.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Do you 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. Thanks to this, the indicator becomes not just a set of functions, but a more flexible working system.
