Step value? That is used for backtesting purposes. It allows testing different values for inputs. So Start is the first value, Step is how to step through the values and Stop is the ending value.
That is why I have switches as 0 and 1 instead of true and false.
I can use start = 0 step = 1 and stop = 1 to test the different switches.
This is like looping in Basic.
For I = 2 To 10 Step 2 only uses the even numbers
The only values used in forward testing are in the Value column.
