What are the differences between the three modes of testing in MetaTrader 5, and what should be particularly looked for? How does the testing of an EA, trading simultaneously on multiple instruments, take place? When and how are the indicator values calculated during testing, and how are the events handled? How to synchronize the bars from different instruments during testing in an "open prices only" mode? This article aims to provide answers to these and many other questions.

To optimize on M1 today's data - not possible, must wait till tomorrow.
 
Today's data is not complete until tomorrow

You can create a custom symbol based on the original symbol but with timestamps (for all ticks) shifted to 1 day left, then use it for optimization. Of course, this will not work for stategies looking into economic calendar (unless you make a tweaked copy of the news array as well).
