⚙️Step 2: Apply Cursor Rules

Teach Cursor your custom rules so it knows how to handle indicators smarter and faster.

Cursor has a Rules feature — basically a way to teach the AI how you want it to behave when generating code.

Think of it as house rules for a guest: “shoes off, fridge is fair game, don’t touch the cat.”

By setting up rules that explain how indicators work in FTO, you’re giving Cursor the context it needs to create consistent, accurate code. No more random guesses — just well-informed suggestions.

To set global rules:

1. Click the Settings icon (see Picture #1)

1. From the Settings menu, click on Rules (see Picture #2).

This is where you’ll drop in the custom guidelines that will teach Cursor how to behave when working with your indicators.

Think of this as setting the ground rules before starting a board game — once everyone knows the rules, things run smoother (and there’s less arguing).\

1. In the User Rules field (see Picture #3), paste in the contents of the file called Rules.txt.

That’s your playbook — the set of instructions that teaches Cursor how to “think” when working with indicators in FTO.

Pro tip: It’s like giving your AI a cheat sheet before the test. The more detail you put in here, the less Cursor will bother you later with questions.
