Can you point me to (example) free strategies that show more profit than B&H?
It seems quite funny to me that you ask
technical support to do a research for
free strategies that are likely to bring you profit by trading them. :)
Unfortunately, the answer is not readily available. Naturally, one would expect it at his fingertips in the form of
Strategy Ranking tool (Tools menu). As expained in the User Guide (Reference > Dialogs > Strategy Explorer), it's possible to download all currently available public strategies. Having done that, it should be a matter of minutes to add chosen strategies to the Strategy Ranking window (Tools menu) and click Begin to have the tool evaluate performance of all selected strategies according to the set of metrics in chosen Scorecard. Surprisingly, here comes a show-stopper: none of the installed Scorecards have the B&H figure!
I believe since it's quite interesting to evaluate a number of strategies w.r.t. B&H, I'll add B&H profit to
MS123 Scorecard in the upcoming release of the
library. When it's out in early December, update the library and you'll be able to find strategies outperforming B&H with ease.

Also it appears that there is no Save option/button before a new strategy is run. Did I miss it?
No, "Save" and "Save as" are there on the toolbar. They're missing if a strategy window is out of context like when you're viewing a chart or having another non-strategy window in focus etc.

I tried to optimize the tutorial strategy example but the at some point the values froze and I could not edit them. Why? How can I unfreeze them? I did not code them.
Parameters in Rule-based Strategies, if you mean this, can not be edited in "Optimization Control" -- that option is possible for code-based strategies.
