I can't figure this out

[Jean Francois Le Bas]

Hi

I'm trying to make my spread filter work again, as it was working perfectly before and now it isn't and for the life of me I can't figure out why.

In my trading routine I check for low spreads :

double maxSpread = 0.4;
int spread = SymbolInfoInteger(pair,SYMBOL_SPREAD);

if (spread <= maxSpread*10)

        Open_Order();

now as I said it was working fine.

now I can't make it work. if I set maxSpread to 100 it opens all orders; but If I set it to 1 it stops opening orders

1 should be plenty enough on an IC Market demo account

I even print out the values in my routine :

   Print("spread ",spread);
   Print("Parameters.maxSpread*10 ",Parameters.maxSpread*10);

and output should work :

2022.06.04 17:14:42.616 2022.01.11 17:10:08   spread = 1
2022.06.04 17:14:42.616 2022.01.11 17:10:08   Parameters.maxSpread*10 = 4.0
2022.06.04 17:14:42.616 2022.01.11 17:10:08   spread = 0
2022.06.04 17:14:42.616 2022.01.11 17:10:08   Parameters.maxSpread*10 = 4.0
2022.06.04 17:14:42.616 2022.01.11 17:10:08   spread = 2
2022.06.04 17:14:42.616 2022.01.11 17:10:08   Parameters.maxSpread*10 = 4.0
2022.06.04 17:14:42.616 2022.01.11 17:10:09   spread = 1
2022.06.04 17:14:42.616 2022.01.11 17:10:09   Parameters.maxSpread*10 = 4.0

but it doesn't. it's a simple "<=" that doesn't work. I don't understand

EDIT : i think I have a problem somewhere else. because If I bypass my other checks(), the spread is not an issue anymore

sorry about that guys, I was too hasty to seek for help

Try changing   int spread   to   double spread

Check that the spread values match those in the symbol window.  Select spread option in the symbol window if it's not visible.

I had the same problem when using SymbolInfoInteger function to get the spread vlaue. Use iSpread function instead
