The point is simply to filter out hours or days most often and see the impact on the results. You have a quick overview of what ot “filter out” on the Trade Analysis pane

Once you get the “weak point” you can modify your strategy accordingly.

but many of these analysis cant be applied to the strategies with “pending orders” – so its only possible for market orders strategies

but WHAT IF is “nonsense” at all – filtering something from history could lead to overoptimisation – if you cherrypick only some trading days or hours you will mostly fail in the future.

Yes, some general points could be positive – like trade on high volume trading hours – like EU or US opening, but nothing more i am afraid
