If it's spikes both ways I would suggest increase hysteresis, reduce aggression, increase min move and reduce both max duration. If it's spikes one way then maybe the opposite is needed. It really seems to be trial and error to get something that works for your mount though and it depends if it's over compensating or under compensating.

It is also important that your PA is ok and your anti backlash are set properly.

i would say you are not polar aligned, min motion is to high try 0.20 up the ra agr to 100 then up the ra hys say by 10 at a time till it levels out also are you balanced properly it took me ages to work out phd guiding i don't use phd2 couldn't get on with it so stuck to v1 works great

That graph would indicate all ok on my setup, but then my guide cameras pixel pitch is so much smaller than the imaging camera the star can move a fair bit before if effects the image.

TSED70Q, iOptron Smart EQ pro, ASI-120MM, Finepix S5 pro.
