## Using preset files[​](#using-preset-files "Direct link to Using preset files")

Preset files (`.set`) save all input values and can be loaded via the **Load** button in the inputs dialog. They are the fastest way to switch between configurations for different pairs or timeframes.

## Saving changes[​](#saving-changes "Direct link to Saving changes")

After editing inputs click **OK**. The EA reloads on the chart with the new values. Open trades are not affected by reloading.
