It's been three years since the maximum spread was fixed, not the minimum. It seems that they haven't corrected it in the help
Does the quote provider (broker) do this or does the server do it automatically and a particular broker cannot do it differently?

I will use real ticks to test it.
Thank you, but you have a good idea of what optimization of thousands of variants of multicurrency strategy tests on real ticks means, don't you? Of course I will not follow your advice, but I will follow fxsaber's one
That is, I will do manually, spending a lot of effort, what you should have done, even based on the manual to the terminal, and not only on common sense, but for some reason you did the opposite, and you don't even want to explain whyTest on real ticks
Test on real ticks
The cloud for real ticks and custom bars is not available. Really don't use it.

You don't have to do it manually. It is enough to automate once and completely forget about the problem.
And you don't resent the fact that the marks are marquets and therefore slip. Or that limit orders on a Hedge and a non-exchange symbol slip to the plus side, giving a huge imaginary increase in the result.

Every time before the test on new dates will be necessary to generate from ticks partially or completely by a script the minute history of each traded instrument with the "correct" spreads, or can it be done in a simpler way?
Besides, symbols with different names will be used in trading and in tests, which additionally creates unnecessary confusion.
2. Regarding custom characters, can the terminal do this LowBid to LowAsk replacement automatically, or do you have to build it yourself by calling CopyTicksRange and CustomRatesReplace?
The substitution will not work, because LowAsk > HighBid happens. That's where the spread should be calculated.
If you don't look at Cloud's limitation, then there is almost no sense to test by custom bars at all, because there are custom ticks.
