Starting Tester with an Intraday bar

New comment
 

Dear all,

I would like to test my EA using the Tester with intraday bars. Consequently, I need to start processing with an intraday bar. However, the Tester does not allow me to declare an intraday start bar: there is only the possibility of inserting a date without the time. Is there a solution for this need?

Many thanks in advance for your kind support.

Add a condition in your EA code, for it to only to only trade after that specific time that you specify as a parameter.

Here's an example of an input parameter:
