TICKS only needs to be used if you are entering with trade management functions. PARAMETERS is required if you have optimised variables in your script. FACTORS is used when calculating optimal margin. Most backtests should use NumWFOCycles anywhere from 6-12 and NumBarCycles can help generate more trades if not many signals are generated with your strategy for more reliable results. LookBack is needed in most cases especially when using indicators, and should be set at double your longest timeperiod used to generate your indicators. I dont believe there really can be a template cause which Modes to set depends on the script and strategy you are using.
