Introduction
Welcome to the expert advisor Vikings guide.
In this article, I will review all the parameter, share some settings files.
Vikings
Vikings is an expert advisor that uses home-made indicators to analyze excess of volatility.
When the EA finds an excess, you can choose to play the trend, the reversal or both at the same time.
