8. Adjust the trading hours to fit your broker's server time (13), because the provided set files are optimized in ICMarkets Raw Spread GMT+3 accounts. If your broker is GMT+3 during the summer and GMT+2 during the winter, you do not need to change anything. Then click the Start button on the bottom right corner of the Strategy Tester and your test will begin (14).
You can check the server time of your broker in the Marketwatch window and if your broker is not GMT+3 (during the summer and GMT+2 during the winter) you need to adjust the trading hours of all provided set files to fit your broker. If for example your broker's server time is GMT+0, you need to adjust all the trading hours 3 hours back, as below:
Start Hour: 12
Start Minutes: 00
End Hour: 22
End Minutes: 50
you need to change it to:
Start Hour: 9
Start Minutes: 00
End Hour: 19
