hi.
how to set the entry date and exit date of trades after backtesting so that I can see not only the hour and minute, but seconds?

Welcome to the forum.

Sorry but you cannot set it. Internally it's hardcoded (apparently with ToShortDateTimeString) to skip seconds. There are many practical reasons like:

1) minute precision covers the needs of most users,
2) Wealth-Lab's Strategy Monitor is restricted to operate at bar scales of 1 Minute and up,
3) hardly any existing data provider delivers data with Seconds (except ASCII of course if you got a CSV source of data in Second resolution).
