Strategy tester

 
Some quick advice please as I do not have the time now to read all about strategy tester: when does one have to use the "start", "step" and "stop" columns? Thanks,

No, you should only adjust your EA settings on the first Value column.

When you optimize your expert adviser then (start - step - stop) are used

example; let's say you want to optimize Stop loss - you set a start minimum value like 10 points, you then maybe want to do the increment steps by 10 points each and finally you set the maximum stop value like 300 points ....then you start optimize ;)

 
Thank you for the feedback
