Strategy Tester question
The MT5 terminal's help document has the information you need. Press F1 in the terminal to open the document, you'll find the information at "Client Terminal\Stragegy Tester\Inputs" area.
The "Start, Step, Stop, Steps" are used for optimization. If you don't perform optimization, you only need to care about the "Value" part. For example, you want to set TP to 20pips, just set "Value" to 20 and forget about the "Start, Step ...".
I attached a screenshot. FYR.
