Message me with proof of purchase and I will send you up to date settings I use on my signal and keep sending them as I re optimize each time for the life of the signal.
The new default settings are actually quite sensitive to spread. I have included in this post an alternate EURUSD-5m set which I recommend if your spread plus slippage exceeds 1 pip but is under 2.5 pips.
I have also included the new readme here.
I have optimized for EU5m(2 variations), EU1h, GU5m, AU5m, UJ5m, UJh1 and GOLDh1. Please message me for the extra settings.
