Hi! I have a very basic understanding of Ticks and Points. And I don’t like using that format when I am trading, using them for my Take Profit and Stop Loss. I prefer to change it to currency because it will be easier for me to set my TP and SL without blowing my account and I am managing my risk properly.

Can someone show me or explain how to change the Ticks and Points to currency for my TP and SL?

If you are referring to when you are entering the Targets and/or Stops on the Trade Window, then there is not a way to set a Profit/Loss there, as the system does not know what price you will enter your parent order. You can specify a "Price Offset" instead of Ticks. Refer to the following:
Attached Orders: Offset Values

If you are referring to how to view the Profit/Loss on the Targets/Stops order lines, then refer to the following for defining the P/L format for the chart:
Chart Settings: Profit/Loss Format (List) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)

And refer to the following for displaying the Profit/Loss on the order lines:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Attached Order P/L Always (Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings >> Working Orders >> Working Orders - Display)
