Hi,

Is it possible to backtest signals generated within a specific period of time ? For example, I like to have results for ES futures between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM Eastern Time only. What is the easiest way to achieve this ? Using some DateTime functions of the spreadsheet ?



Thanks.

The main method to accomplish this is to set the Session Times to what you require through Chart >> Chart Settings.
