There, I get it now, thank you :)) But then why the difference arises, that's the question. MT4.
There, I get it now, thanks :)) But then why the difference arises, that's the question. IN MT4.
MetaTrader 4 doesn't store spreads on every bar, it uses the current one.
By storing detailed spreads on every minute bar the accuracy of MetaTrader 5 tester is much higher.
MetaTrader 4 does not store spreads on every bar, but uses current spreads.

Woott, getting to the point:))) Conclusion%: MT4 uses current spread (that's why they created all sorts of programs like "Take May Spread", to set a desired spread in MT4), MT5 has a different technology, but how does MT5 get what spread was, say, January 5? Although the problem at night was still, although I got tired of something mixed up, but I will definitely check again this weekend:))

... But how will MT5 know what the spread was on the 5th of January?

С помощью программирования :) Набросал простейшую идею, вроде работает.
Where to put it and how to use it:))
Copy the file to the Scripts folder (similar to my path D:\Program Files\MetaTrader 5\MQL5\Scripts\Spreads.mq5), call MetaTrader from the terminal (F4), open the copied file in MetaTrader, compile it (F7), then open Navigator in the terminal (Ctrl+N) and run the file with the same name from the "Scripts" folder. In the "Input parameters" tab of the script, select the desired check interval. The results of the script will be displayed on the "Experts" tab of the terminal (Ctrl+T).
The terminal "Experts" tab (Ctrl+T) shows a limited number of results. You can view them all by placing the mouse cursor on any line of the "Experts" tab and selecting "Open" option from the context menu. A folder with the log files will appear. See the file for the current day.

All done like that, everything works, cool:)) Another question: ran it on m5 and on m1, how it calculates the spread and at what point in time (because a minute bar was full of ticks, hence the spread was different, and not clearly fixed to one minute)? After all, the spread is floating (5 alpari signs), it changes every second.
And another question: how do I force the terminal to update? Sometimes it prompts to update to a new build, but now it doesn't prompt and the quotes don't run, how can it be forced?
