Value is used for the single back-test run, while start, step and stop is used for optimisations.

Let's say for example that your EA only has one input (let's call it "Bar Count"), and you set the start = 1, step = 2, stop = 9.

When you run the optimisations, it will run 5 passes (5 tests) with "Bar Count" set to 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.

And how exactly do you think I would know?

I can't read your mind, nor can I see your computer.

It seems that you continue to believe that I can read your mind.

What works? What is not allowed?

True, somehow I believe your crystal ball works. Okay just give a link where i can follow the procedures of making it work.

A random link, magically pointing to your broken scalper, your EA settings, your tester settings, and your logs? Really?
