Enable/disable algo trading on high spread.

 

Hello, 

I have an MT5 EA that works really well until spreads widen.

The EA is a free EA that i have optimized really well on XAUUSD and the spread is what makes or breaks its performance.

It has no spread filter and i don't have access to the source code.

I believe the options i have are 


-Somehow get the ea to invalidate a trade with high spread or

-Some ability to enable/disable algo trading on high spread.


are there any other ways i can do this?

Or are there any existing API that can do this? I'm no coder either

 
You can search CodeBase. Also there are codes available if you search Forum or do a google search.

The only way out will be to get a new Ea that works on this strategy "if you know it", ask a developer/coder to code it and include a spread filter according to your liking, conversely you can look at codebase, maybe you can find something there.
