Time in strategy tester and toggling trading status from an EA

[Batuhan Ortay]

I have two questions:

1. Is it possible to programmatically control allowing trades?

2. In strategy tester, is it possible to select exact starting time of testing?

Thanks.

1. I've read of 2 solutions, one is use a global variable that all EAs must check periodically, and two is use a Dll to post a command to the AutoTrading button.
2. The one solution I've read about so far is a call to some Dll, I don't know how exactly, via kernel32.dll.
3. Use Google: https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/132617
