Yes, I think they are.

Conversely, if have found that MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_SPREAD) is not necessarilly equal to Ask-Bid

YALEWANG:

var1=MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_ASK);
var2=Ask;

var3 = MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_BID);

var4=Bid;

Not necessarily. If you stay a long time inside a start() run and don't use RefreshRates() then Ask and Bid will potentially return old values. But using MarketInfo(....) ALWAYS gives u the latest prices. Hence this is more likely to produce var1=var2, var3=var4 :

RefreshRates()
double var1=MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_ASK);
double var2=Ask;
double var3=MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_BID);
double var4=Bid;
