      I need help. I am looking at the Hours Filter and there is a note that says. "When testing all options work the same, because the time is modelled, not real."

      Does this mean that if I use the hour function it will not work in a strategy test?

        When the EA works live, there are 2 sources of time - the server (the broker) and your local time. Depending on where you are or how accurate your clock is, these times can be different. When testing, everything is simulated, including the time. There is no server, even your local clock doesn't matter. The time comes from the candles data, so even if you change this option, it should not change the result of the test.
