Here is a breakdown, setting-by-setting:
Show Zones:
This simply determines whether or not zones will show on your chart or not.
Zone Input Values:
Here's where it can potentially get a little bit complicated.
Each day, you'll need to grab the "code" from the daily market assistant and paste it into the indicator. It will show the current day and then the prior two day's zones as well.
You'll need to make sure you copy the entire sequence of code and then paste it all into the indicator using the "control + v" keyboard shortcut.
This is explained more fully in the video above.
Of course, you can always draw these zone manually from the daily market assistant page if you prefer, but this step should save some time.
Zone Color:
Very simply, this is the color of the zones.
Zone Opacity:
