This documentation does not match the trade window settings in the boxes.
The Step Amount is not in the (Trade Window >> Targets).
It is in the (Trade Window >> Main).

Would this be more accurate? To move it up into the section?

Step Trailing Stop Order Inputs (Trade Window >> Main)

Stop

This price box is for the initial Stop price. This also sets the Trail Offset and the Step Amount. For example, if the current market price is 100, this is a Buy Stop, and you enter a Stop price of 105, this will then set a Trail Offset of 5 and a Step Amount of 5 as well. Enter a price or select one from the drop-down list. Refer to Price Formatting.

Step Amount

This is the amount in either Ticks, an actual Price, or a Percentage that the Trailing Stop moves in amounts/increments of. Only Attached Orders can set a Step Amount which differs from the Trail Offset.

If this is unset or 0, then the Step Amount will be equal to the Attached Order Stop Offset.

Stop Offset

This is the Stop offset value from the parent order price. The setting is only for Attached Orders. This will always be a positive value. This offset also sets the Trail Offset.
