I'd like to run a few backtests, but when doing so using Chart Replay, I only see a option, USE START DATE-TIME, but no way to end the backtest at a specific date and time.

I'm trying to backtest a system, but not trade 3 days prior to a rollover. Therefore I was going to manually put in the start/stop times.

Is there a way to do this?

Not unless your trading system supports it. You can however, have it backtest past your end time. When you view the Trade Activity log you can set start and end dates and times before clicking Apply and you will only see the time period you want.

Ahh, ok, I guess that would be a good workaround. Backtest the whole time, and then pick and choose when to look at the activity log.
