• 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
