I've heard it doesn't matter which direction you walk around the MFD transmitter (frequency generator). But I also heard from another source it is best to have your writing hand towards the transmitter, or the opposite hand on the target side even if you are not using a transmitter. So if you are right handed you can try to walk clockwise around the transmitter and anti-clockwise if you are left handed. I think htis is more important if you are only using one rod as for most people you want it to swing towards your body.
I mentioned this earlier but I walk more of an octogonal path (eight sides) around the transmitter, a series of straight lines so I am not trying to turn a corner all the time. It's easier to keep the rod stable when walking in a straight line. It's also easier to pick a spot several yards ahead of you to look at as a distraction to take your conscious mind off things.
