MT5 for beginners

If this thread already exists, please point me to it. I need some basic guidance on using MT5. For example, today (Sat.) I am trying to see my trading history, but when I log into my (Pepperstone) demo account and go to View>Toolbox there is no table at the bottom for History, just News, Mailbox, Calendar etc. I have seen it before (the History tab) but I don't know what makes it disappear or how to bring it back. Is this just because it's Sat. and the markets are not open? (I thought the Forex markets are always open.)
 
Here is a specific question. One of the settings for eurgbp on my demo account showed a big gain on Sept. 27 at 22:00. But I have several settings for eurgbp and I want to find out which setting this particular trade was and what the details were of the trade. The Trade History shows the following, but it doesn't tell me which setting was used, and I also don't know how to use the chart to visualize exactly what happened (because, of course, I would like to repeat this). Help a newbie, pretty please!

I still can't figure out what this trade on 20240927 at 22:00 was. I had two eurgbp settings (M5 and H1) on my demo account (from performance page) but I don't which one made this trade or why it was so unusually profitable. I ran both settings with the Tester from 20240925 through 20241001 (which should cover the time of the trade) but neither one showed anything close to this profit. I hope someone can help with this.
