Tool version: O!kurra Capital Defense EA 2.00
A note on chapter split. Chapter 4 showed how to edit button parameters in the panel (clicks, Apply,
.set). This chapter explains what those parameters mean — how they combine into an entry signal and position behavior. Filters (SAR/MMD/SR/OKUR) have their own chapter 10; zones, BEa and Stop on Opposite — chapters 11–13. Parameter names are given exactly as you see them on screen (labels in Inputs / on the panel).
9.1 How to think about a button
Each button is an autonomous decision unit — a small state machine that looks at the market through its own lens (the OKUR oscillator with its own parameters) and reacts to defined conditions, generating a position in one direction fixed in advance.
The easiest way to think of a button is as a rule described in a few sentences: “Watch M1, use OKUR with period 6. When the oscillator drops below -130, the market is temporarily too low for us. Wait until it starts to straighten out — bounces off the minimum by at least 5 points. That’s the signal. Place a buy pending order 100 points above the price and wait for the market to confirm it. When it fills — you have a BUY position with SL 200 and TP 400. After 200 points of profit, pull the SL up to +100. After 300, start trailing every 100.”
Those few sentences are literally the configuration of one button. The remaining parameters either filter the signal (chapter 10), or define the safety framework (limits, lot, SL/TP), or control the button’s lifecycle (chapters 11–13, 17).
Remember the tool’s positioning: the specific values in the examples (Period, Threshold, Movement Correction) are starting points for observation on a demo, not recommendations. Every market breathes differently; the calibration is yours.
9.2 Identity: Label, Initial Enabled, Direction
Three parameters define “who the button is”.
Button Label (text, default “rename me”). The label displayed on the panel. Change it to something descriptive — short names work best, because the panel has limited width (e.g. “BUY mean-rev M1”, “SELL momentum M5”). It has no effect on behavior, only on what you see.
Initial Enabled (toggle, default off). Whether the button should be active immediately after the EA starts, or wait to be enabled manually. The “off” default is deliberate — it lets you launch the robot, check the state, and only then consciously enable the buttons you choose.
Direction (BUY / SELL, default depends on the button — B1/B3/B5 are SELL, B2/B4 are BUY). The direction of the positions the button can open. Irreversible during the button’s lifetime — there is no “universal button”. Want to trade both sides? Use two buttons. Hedging is allowed — B1 can be BUY and B2 SELL, and both positions will exist in parallel.
There is no requirement to mix directions: you can set all five buttons to BUY or all to SELL, if that is your strategy. You can also run the robot on two charts of the same instrument — one dedicated exclusively to BUY, the other exclusively to SELL. In that layout, remember that each EA instance must have a different Magic Number: the magic bases must differ by at least the number of buttons (5) — each instance occupies five consecutive numbers (B1…B5). The minimum is 5, but practice shows it is more convenient to space them every 10 (e.g. 100, 110, 120…) — that makes them easier to coordinate and harder to confuse between instances.
