Default settings can look great - but usually only on the broker conditions and the historical period they were tuned on.
To get the best results on your broker and a period close to current market conditions, you’ll want to run cTrader Optimization.

Here’s the clean way to do it:

Keep as constants (don’t optimize):
Volume Mode / Risk settings (use your preferred risk, keep it stable)
Order Expiry / Cancel After / Cancel Opposite on Fill
Trailing / Partial Close (either ON with your preferred values, or OFF—optimize later only after you have a solid core)
Session Time Base / Custom Offset (only set correctly for your session/broker time)

Optimize these (core profitability drivers):
Session Preset: test Tokyo / London / NewYork / Overlap (run separate optimizations per preset, or include it as a discrete variable if you prefer).
Min Range (pips): 10 → 30, step 2
Max Range (pips): 30 → 70, step 5 (ensure MaxRange > MinRange)
Entry Offset (pips): 1 → 6, step 1
Max Spread (pips): 1.0 → 3.0, step 0.5
SL Mode / SL Value:
If FixedPips: SL 80 → 260, step 20
if Box: keep SL mode fixed and optimize TP (below)

TP Mode / TP Value:
If RR: TP (RR) 0.8 → 2.0, step 0.1
If FixedPips: TP 20 → 120, step 10
If BoxMultiple: TP multiple 0.5 → 2.0, step 0.1

Practical tip: optimize the core entry + SL/TP first with trailing/partial OFF, pick the most stable set across multiple date ranges, then (optionally) re-enable trailing/partial and tune them lightly.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I’ll do my best to add this feature, and once it’s been properly tested, I’ll push a new version to the store.

Best results come right after a clean session box breaks and price trends away - i.e., momentum after consolidation.
For EURUSD, the “ideal zone” is a session box of ~15–30 pips (ideally 18–25) with a tight spread at order placement (≤1.2–1.6 pips on RAW/ECN, ≤2.0 - 2.5 pips on Standard) and a modest Entry Offset (≈2 - 4 pips RAW / 3-6 pips Standard).
The most reliable windows are Tokyo box → first hours of London and early NY, when follow-through is common.
Performance degrades in choppy, mean-reverting ranges around the box edges and during news spikes when spreads widen and slippage jumps
