Well, the answer is the same with forward testing : how do you set the EA to trade only to certain time.

Time of historical data in MT5 is a broker time. In MT4, time of historical data is depend on where you get the data, and also in MT4 you can - sort of - create your own historical data .

Thanks for your reply. in EA forward testing, I set EA to trade in PC local time. however in back testing, I cannot use PC local time. so what time should I use to identify broker time in Mt5 corresponding to New York session time?

Here we go : Simulation of Time in the Strategy Tester
