Wanted: Someone to optimize my basic auto strategy for a nominal fee

Duke,

To me I would probably only really work on the Fast, Slow and MA Cross Bars Ago properties here. The stop loss, profit target, etc. you can optimize once and then use those values, or set them to some amount you are comfortable with since its more of an order management and willingness to risk thing.

Set order quantity
Sets how the order size is determined, options are:
"by default quantity" - User defined order size
"by strategy" - Takes the order size specified programmatically within the strategy
"by account" - Allows you to set

Stop & target submission
Sets how stop and target orders are submitted
"Per Order Execution" submits a stop loss and profit target tied to the actual order executions.
"By Strategy Position" submits stop loss and profit targets tied to overall strategy position.

In the former case, it would mean whenever you add a new contract to your position a separate stop loss and profit target is submitted so if you have 1 contract long, then enter an order for another contract it would submit an additional stop and target so you would have 2 stop loss orders and 2 take profit orders.

For the latter case it would be that your stop loss and profit target are submitted by position to match the position so the strategy doesn't care if you had 1 contract long and entered another contract long later, it just submits a single 2 contract stop loss and single 2 contract profit target. You would have 1 stop loss order and 1 profit target order here but it would match how many contracts you are long or short.

For this strategy I am not sure what the recommended settings would be here. I would suggest probably "Default quantity", however for the other setting it's really up to you. If the strategy only will have 1 signal to enter at any one time then either setting shouldn't matter as they will behave the same.
