Why my live data has 10 points spread, whereas on the same day, the history data has 20 points spread?

[nicolasxu]

 On live data, the spread is about 10 points:

 

 

 

However, one day later, when I test EA with the tick data on the same day, the spread is 20 points.

Question: 

1. Why history spread is twice the live spread?

 

2. Is there a way to set history spread?

 

Thanks!

No I can't say that I have had that experience. If you have the data to back up your theory then I suggest contacting the service desk.

Ahhh, actually you could be right there, I remember someone else had a similar issue a couple of weeks ago and MQL responded that the spread was an average across the bar.....
