PrefSettings: "do I use values that are set up for specific currencies?" Where does it get these settings?

I presume that the "settings you specify" are those we enter manually or prepare as a .set file. So if we optimize and create a .set file, we must always have PrefSettings=false (for optimization, backtesting, forward testing on a demo, and live trading). Is that correct?

What about the behaviour of MoneyManagement?
I use Linux so I can make PDF with a print command from any application at zero cost. Thanks for the PDF offer though.
PContour's contribution (merged with other fixes into 5.7.1) is to label the settings based on if they are required with PrefSettings=true. The manual is much easier to create now.
