Backtesting question with 1 minute data

Tomasz,

If I import 1 minute tick data and ask that it use the hour for backtesting
and I want the buy to be done on the next tick, which tick will it use, the
next minute or the next hour?

It seems like the only way to limit the buy/sell etc test to the hour is
test for it if you want to use all of the data and buy, for instance on the
next 1-minute tick!

Does this make sense?

If there is away to do it without programming let me know. I can program it,
it would just be a pain to have to program the test for each hour, that's
all!

thanks again Tomasz!
