# \[Legacy] Things to keep in mind LuxSignals is all in all a masterpiece of algorithm engineering, but there are a few things to keep in mind while using it. ## Focus on Results, not Signals Do you know why most traders fail? It's because they trade blindly. They don't know the numbers. In trading, numbers are everything, **results, backtests, profits etc. are the most important things**. If the results are good, the strategy is perfect. Many fail because they lack trust in the signals or they judge the signals because "they are too late". That's not true - signals are not "late", "early" or "good" or "bad" - no. They are either **profitable or unprofitable.** That's a crucial rule to follow, and that's exactly what we built LuxSignals for - eliminating emotions and focusing on results. With LuxSignals you might indeed see signals that seem "strangely placed" or are "false" (especially if you turn on the Switch), but that's only in your eyes. LuxSignals sees the whole picture and focuses on total returns rather than "correctly" placed signals. **Don't judge the signals or their appearance, judge the results.** ## Each chart and timeframe has different best settings Yes, if you get the best settings for one chart and timeframe, you won't get the same results when you change the timeframe or ticker for example. This is because LuxSignals only focuses on the exact chart and timeframe you're using and analyses its data to get you the best possible settings for that exact chart. If you want to change your timeframe or ticker, you'll just need to quickly go through the process of getting the best settings again. ## Reliability of results depends on total trades The more trades LuxSignals backtest, the more realistic your results are. What we recommend are at least 30 trades - at 100 for example you're pretty safe to have reliable results. You can also increase the number of total trades by activating the maximum backtesting range in LuxSignals' settings. What we also recommend doing is adjusting your best settings for the chart and timeframe you trade on every once in a while to keep LuxSignals' training data fresh and up to date. Often changes in the real world lead to changes in market price movements. In that case, we recommend you to quickly get the best settings for LuxSignals again. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
