Too Big Spread?

New comment
 

I made an ea that check tester's spread,

I ran it with EURUSD H1.

I think that this result is wrong..

Ordinary spread is 2-3 pips (in 4 digits). But this EA finds 10-24 pips spread.

Server is Metaquotes Demo. 

Do you have any opinion about this result? 

 

  

 

We can not check any spread during the weekend (because market is closed) but you can compare your spread EA with the folllwing free tools (which I fount in MT5 CodeBase) :

I am talking about past history data's spread.

You can check it through backtest.

I reproduced it also. Seems there is a peek in the spread starting on 2013.06.06 14:47. (I modified the code a little to print more values).

Thank You. It may be news time or data errors in metaquotes.

I cannot believe this ea's result because 24 pip is too big for EURUSD. 

Data errors can make developer's effort to nothing.
