COGSx86: Im curious if you are able to alter or eliminate the spread when doing backtesting |
You specify the spread at the start of the run. ![]() |
Hahaha
I want to eliminate the spread or set it to 1 on 5 decimal price, the lowest is 2, which turns out to be no where near what I want,
example
BId price is 1.36476 at OPEN on a 30 minute chart, CLOSE for the same candle is 1.36420
however when I run the EA, I get
OPEN Price - 1.36490
CLOSE PRICe - 1.36417
I want my EA to take exact price that is on the candle, for OPEN and CLOSE

Just over-write it with a 1
how do I do that ?

Don't click on the drop down box, click on the spread value and substitute it with a 1.
Unfortunately, you can't set it to zero as it then defaults to the current spread.

I have found older coding, but it doesnt seem to work on the 711 Mt4 build, maybe Im doing some wrong ?
Or pointing me in the right direction ? Im trying to develop different EAs for binary options, where spread, doesnt really come into play, for optimization and backtesting for different strategies.
