Traders' Roundtable

For those of you who use CSI Unfair Advantage and their back adjuster, I am curious as to how you set up your preferences for back adjusting. I am also curious as to why you chose these particular preferences.

I've read over CSI's help files for the back adjuster. Unfortunately, there is very little rationale for why you might choose one option over another. They leave it to you to try to decipher things and determine the consequences of your choices.

I have listed below (and included in an attachment) the various choices provided in the CSI back adjuster.

Thanks in advance for your insights.
