MT5 SQ Ticksize does not work correctly - PLEASE FIX!

I've attached a strategy that I built on ES that I want to run on multiple brokers in MT5 on SPX500 or ES (depending on the broker).

I'm CONSTANTLY running into issues with strategies not back testing correctly in MT5 for indices and it seems to relate to the SQ Ticksize setting.

As you can see in the example image attached, the tick size under specification for SPX500 for Blackbull Markets Demo is 0.01, but as you can see from the optimization I ran with a range from 0.01 to 10 with a step of 0.01 (1000 tests) for the MainChartTickSizeSQ setting where UseSQTickSize = TRUE, I get results all over the place!!

What I would expect to see with the optimization is that "0.01" should be the ONLY correct answer where the strategy works properly and behaves similarly to backtests in SQ (I'm not expecting it to be 100% with different broker data, but for an H1 strategy it should be pretty close!)

I've attached a second strategy that has even worse differences.
