Settings reference
Every section of the Settings page, what each field does, and which sections are yours versus the administrator's in the hosted service.
Saving
Changes are held until you click Save settings at the top of the page; Discard drops them. The status text reads Unsaved changes or All changes saved.
Who can change what
In the hosted service the settings page returns a scope. Subscribers can change their own Alerts (sounds, browser notifications, Telegram, signal cooldown) and Trading risk values; these are stored per user. The desktop notification switches, data sources, analysis, crash radar, storage, deep analysis, macro events and the data source check are engine-wide and are hidden for subscribers; only administrators see them. On a local single-user install every section is available.
Deep analysis (admin)
At the top of the page. Tick pairs (all / none), optionally set from and to dates, and click Run deep analysis. Rows show status, stage, progress, the last report (bars per timeframe, patterns, crashes, samples, combinations per horizon), when the pair was last analysed and the stored candle range. See Admin: engine pairs, queue and deep analysis.

AI second opinion (admin)
Enabled shows the AI card on every pair page; Ask automatically on every new engine call asks once per new LONG / SHORT consensus. AI provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, xAI, DeepSeek, Groq, Mistral, OpenRouter, Ollama, custom endpoint) with the provider's API key stored encrypted per provider (only the last four characters are shown; Replace / Remove), model (free text, empty = provider default), base URL (custom endpoints), trading role of the AI (advisory / confirm / veto, see the AI article), daily cap (all users) (300), per user per day (25, hosted mode), reuse window (300 s: a fresh opinion on the pair is served instead of a new call), cooldown per pair (60 s) and max output tokens (1200). See AI second opinion in Signals and consensus.

Data source check, Macro events, About
Test data sources pings each exchange from the server. Macro events lists upcoming high-impact events and lets admins add manual ones. About lists the free data sources.
Trading (user)
These live on the Trading page under Global risk settings, not on the Settings page: max_daily_loss_pct (5), max_concurrent_positions (5), loss_cooldown_min (60), budget_reset_hour_local (0), taker_fee (0.0005), slippage_bps (3) and Auto-close longs on crash critical (on). Save with Save risk settings.
Environment and file
On a local install everything above is also in data/config.yaml, created on first run. Environment variables override it: CS_PORT, CS_HOST, CS_DATA_DIR, CS_DEMO_MODE, CS_MULTI_USER, CS_BASE_URL. Platform-level settings of the hosted service (brand, support email, BTCPay, SMTP, trial length, referral percentages) are in the admin console under Site settings, not here.
