Hi.
The way i backtest this system (and other systems..) is unlocking the auto scroll button and take the chart back in time to where you want to start your test.
Then you click the F12 button and the chart will move one bar at the time.
If you want the chart to move faster (on this system from cet 18:00 to 08:00) you hold the button down.
You can also use the Strategy Tester (Ctrl+R) to make the chart move automatic like it does in realtime but you set the speed yourself.
It is almost the same as running a backtest with a EA
It is a bit more complicated to explain how to do it but if you search this forum or Google "backtesting in MT4" or something like that you will find tutorial.
Personally i like F12 best for this type of testing.
Hope it helps.
