start time and end time in backtesting

[[e-mail]]

I don't think it is possible to set a start time and an end time in backtesting, you have to take the default 00:00. Is this something that will be changed in the future? This would be a very useful feature, if available. Thanks.

Do you really expect an answer? There are no mind readers here and our crystal balls are cracked.

You can get the start time by doing TimeCurrent and other related things in the OnInit function but I haven't found an easy way to the end date. Mostly if I'm loading a CSV file or something like that I will just let it load for all the available data because usually its not that much memory wasted.
