When I repeatedly tested my strategies on a strategy tester,

I found the broker history spread to be more unrealistic as we go back in history.

From a year up is completely unreal.

You can try your broker history with this spread script : 

Spread data collector


You will have a history of more than 50 pips. While in reality, this is not the case.

And the further back you go, the higher the number of spreads of more than 50 pips.

what is your opinion ?

 
I have a question.

Did you notice sometimes the ask price is below the bid price in the strategy tester?

Or is this related to my broker, maybe?

Hi Dominic Egert

This seems to be a broker issue, not just your broker. Almost every backtests for more than a year is not valid in my opinion.
