Is there an updated config.txt file anywhere? Or a place where i can find some? I'm not 100% on how to make my own and the current one takes a LONG time to find an order [ been 19hours for me ]

The bot is really sort of meant to be used to find your own preference in creating a config and then backtesting to make sure it works well. If you're not sure how to do that the best way is really to just learn about the indicators, play around with the variables, and backtest your config against various market conditions. What coins you run the config on also depends entirely on your risk tolerance and strategy.

It's been hard enough to find time for development so we haven't really updated the default config in a while (currently working on a major rework for the next version). For v0.10.0 the config I'm running is this

config.txt ``` MACD change indicator:0.5 RSI positive side minimum:15 RSI positive side maximum:30 RSI negative side minimum:70 RSI negative side maximum:80 Simulation mode starting value:1000 Percentage of money per trade:0.7 Trailing SL:0.07 Take profit:1 Confluence:2 Close confluence:2 Use confluence to close:false Currencies to track:DOGE FIAT:USDT ```

This is a pretty focused all-in DOGE config though so that's why I wouldn't make it the default in the release. You might find something better if you play around with the bot in backtesting (and if you do, post it in the discussions).

I'll leave this issue open since we should update the default config for the next release though.
