In your Expert Properties window, click on "Optimization" and you will have a few selections for filtering your results.

Not all the conditions you listed are available, so for the rest you will have to do it in your own code. Make use of the OnTester() event handler to generate a metric of you own choosing and by filtering out your conditions using the TesterStatistics function to obtain various metrics.

Thank you Fernando much appreciated

The difference between consecutive win and consecutive win trades? 

I assume consecutive win is the total win amount continuous in $ and the consecutive win trades is the total amount of trades won continuously without a loss.

When in doubt, press the "F1" key. Remember that the application has a built in guide and documentation — Setup - Expert Optimization - Auto Trading - MetaTrader 4 Help
