pause visual backtest at specific time of day or date/time stamp...

Can you include a way to pause/slowdown the backtester after it has reached a certain time or date/time? MT4 tester does not currently have ability to pick HH:mm time of day to start backtest. So you always have to start at the beginning of the day, even if what you need to obverse is near the end

Reducing memory usage mt5

metatrader 5 is a memory pig. I had exactly the same indicators and charts running in both, but mt5 (64-bit) is taking up 110-135mb ram, and mt4 is only 20-35mb ram. Same broker. I limit the max bars in chart to 2000. I turn off the news. I turn off the sound alerts. I have email alerts and expert

Using CloseAll; how does mt5 close all or partial position?

When offsetting or closing existing trades, does MT5 close desired trades by offsetting 1 time the necessary lots? Or does it still close each existing trade out. Example. Buy EURUSD 0.1 lots, Buy EURUSD 0.4 lots, Buy EURUSD 0.3 lots, Buy EURUSD 0.15 lots, Buy EURUSD 0.5 lots, Buy EURUSD 0.35 lots
