MT5 strategy tester, backtest tab, profits and losses by hours chart question.
I suggest to you to firstly understand the difference between positions, orders and deals.
My assumption is in the chart itself you cant tell the in and out of a position.. it only shows profitability of a strategy for each hour. If the data derives from when the strategy opens a position then I can stop the strategy from entering a trade for that hour.. hence my question.

Oh sorry, I misunderstood your doubt/request.
I suppose the chart you are talking about reports the net profit for all deals happened in that hour. So both IN and OUT are considered, It will be not so easy, just watching that chart to understand if filtering out a specific hour will increase or decrease overall profitability...
I think you should use more sophisticated software for analysis of backtests reports.
