i have read it for several times, but stil can't understand anything.
Maybe you can make a tutorial for external miners?
Trying to get it for few days, and I'm stuck.
The same.
I have understand profit switcher with GPU but not with an ASIC.
For example, we need to add a new Profit Profile for Antminer L3+ with only scrypt algo and speed to work or default profile work good ?
I can see if I can improve the instructions for this, but from a configuration point of view, it's really only one single setting that needs to be enabled, and that's the one you have in the guide already:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/profitswitching.aspx#awesomeprofit

Let's say you have an Antminer L3+ that do scrypt mining, and that we assume you already have 3 pools added to this miner. So when you go to the Pools tab in the main window of Awesome Miner, you will see your 3 pools. If you only have one, make sure you add more. There is no automatic step to just enter a bitcoin address as for the Managed Profit Switcher, instead you need to add your own pools with URL's and worker names. Example of pools can be a Litecoin pool, the Nicehash Scrypt pool and the zpool Scrypt pool.

Once you have some pools defined for a miner, and you have activated the profit switcher for the External Miner according to the single step described on the link above, the profit switcher will be working. It will calculate the profitability of all the pools of the External Miner and instruct the Antminer to prioritize the pool with the highest profitability.

For this feature to work, and also to make changes to the pools from Awesome Miner, the Antminers must run in privileged API mode.

Please let me know more details on where you got stuck in getting this feature to work.
