The time based inputs are based on EST. These inputs will need to be adjusted for the timezone of your computer based on its difference from EST. For example, if your computer is on CST, then LongStartTime should be 845 instead of 945 since CST is one hour earlier than EST.
The stop loss and profit targets are based on a per contract basis. If the cntrcts increases, the dollar amounts for stop loss or profit target do not need to also increase since the stop loss is calculated on a per contract basis.
A stop loss first bar and a profit target first bar are required when having different stop losses for longs and shorts.
