Does anyone know why the spread in the strategy tester set at 6 pips?
Probably because of weekend spreads. There's an option to adjust the spreads now. Update your platform if you don't see the option.

Hi, there,
I am using Forex.com MT4 platform. When I used the strategy tester to run a backtest. I added the Ask price to show on the chart. I noticed the big gap between the Bid and Ask price - the spread is about 6 pips for EURUSD and AUDUSD (1 min and 5 min charts). I have not looked at other pairs yet. Is this a default setting of MT4? Is there a way I can change it? 6 pips spread will kill many EAs and you will be very depressed with bad results without knowing why.
