The initialization after compile will not initialize the line width in the SetIndexStile(); Otherwise, if initialized on open from the "Indicator List" or from "Properties List" (if a vlue is changed) it works a OK. -Stan

sorry my english is bad Hello, While verifying several software I have to notice that meta included the spread in are historic, but that influences all the indicators and the backtests. Would it be possible that it will be otherwise? and that an option be available to deduct the spread in...

I've noticed that when backtesting EA's using cutom indicators, peformance is very slow. One thing I've have been able to do in a few circumstances is include the indicator logic in the EA and, of course, tailor it for better performance. I like this method as it makes the EA not depend on outside...
