Once ready, click the Start button at the bottom right of the Strategy Tester to initiate the test (14). 

Your broker’s server time can be found in the Marketwatch window.

For example, if your broker is on GMT+0, shift all the trading hours back by 3 hours, as shown below: 

Start Hour: 12

you need to change it to:
