What are the key input parameters I should tune first?

Hi!
What to tune first:
Session window. Decide which box you build: Tokyo → trade the breakout in early London, or London → look at early New York.
Spread. Set Max Spread to your broker’s real spread in those hours (RAW stricter, Standard looser).
Box range. Pick Min/Max Range so the box is workable (not tiny, not huge).
Entry Offset. Step over noise/spread (RAW ~2-4 pips, Standard 3-6).Then tweak SL/TP model. Choose SL (Box or Fixed), then TP (RR or BoxMultiple) and their values. This sets your risk/return and filters fakeouts.
Leave the fine-tuning for last - Order Expiry / Cancel After (avoid stale breakouts), Trailing / Partial (manage winners), and protection: Max Daily Floating DD, Equity DD Stop, Min Free Margin.
Volume = risk
Fixed Lot is your risk lever. Bigger lot → higher returns and deeper drawdowns. First lock a working logic with a small lot, then scale.Test workflow
Tick data + your broker’s real costs → Optimize Session → Max Spread → Range → Offset → SL/TP
