Timezone when backtesting
Posted: Mon Mar 04, 2024 6:49 am
Hi,
Here is a scenario:
I am trying to backtest crude oil and I wish to conduct the backtest in the EST timezone (US Eastern).
The reason is I am trying to test a day trading strategy that can only trade after 6pm EST and must close all orders before 4:59pm EST.
I do not wish to hold any trades open overnight.
Therefore I need to know, somewhere, or setup this time to be visible for when I am manually backtesting.
I am also wondering if I can select my own timezone to be visible ?
To know when I need to be at the computer to place trades ?
Would someone please assist?
It would really help if someone could attach a screenshot of this in "Create a Backtest".
