extern double MaxSpread = 5.0; // Unit here is pips
:
double Spread = Ask-Bid;       // Unit here is price
if(Spread >= MaxSpread * pips2dbl) { return(0);}
 

I tried to simply write it into my buy and sell ie.

((SMA1>SMA2)&&(Ask-Bid<.007) ) 

However I just got traded where the spread was .0244

Can anyone explain why when it is in my buy conditions....how could it have issued a trade?

Show your actual code. We cannot help if we are unable to verify what your code is really doing!
