• Test on demo account before live deployment

Best Practices

• Timeframe Selection: Works on all timeframes; M1–M15 recommended for day trading
• Confirmation Settings: Higher volatility pairs → increase confirmation candles
• Notification Strategy: Aggressive mode for monitoring, Confirmed mode for entries
• Multi-Symbol Usage: Apply to correlated pairs for convergence confirmation
• Risk Management: Always use stop-loss; signals are not guaranteed profits
• EA Integration: Test signal buffer logic thoroughly on Strategy Tester first
