Select Range dialog in historical tester currently only allows setting start and end date.

Now, if you want to backtest a particular intraday market sequence in visual mode, you have to start at 00:00, manually skip price action prior to the sequence and then slow down test speed at just the right time.

It would really help to be able to set hours and minutes as well in the Select Range dialog.

That would enable easier and much quicker access to intraday market sequences in visual mode.

Thanks for implementing this!

I just tested the new Custom Time Range feature.

I have platform timezone set to EET. If I set Date From to 00:00:00.000 19.05.2017, a test starts at 21:00:00.000 19.05.2017 EET, which is not correct. (Please see the attached image)

Otherwise, everything seems to work as it is supposed to.

(If I set platform timezone to UTC, the test starts at the correct time.)
