how to collect spread

[Professor of channel trading]

when testing ea in mt4 strategy tester, the spread equals to spread now,not the past spread in the testing period

so i want to ask how to collect the spread for backtesting?

'FXTticksCollector'

i have try this, but the size of .fxt is too big, just run 2 day of it, it already 600MB~ ~

Do any one have another method for testing spread sensitive EA which is using the real past spread?
thanks

Not possible with MT4, unfortunately. History files only include Bid price, not Ask or spread. There are several threads associated with this problem. Read here to get started:
