    // Access Control
    allowedTiers: ["professional", "whale"],
    isPublic: true,

            name: "RSI_PERIOD",
            type: "number",
            default: 14,
            min: 5,
            max: 50,

parameters: [
    {
        name: 'ADVANCED_FILTER',
        isPremium: true,
        premiumTiers: ['whale'],  // Only Whale can change
        default: true
    }
]
