before i'm trying that, it think it's not correct that my history back test is dependent on live spread, it suppose to be fix spread because we talking about history data.

that is my opinion at least

i'm checking it now

So where is the Strategy Tester supposed to get the historical spread from ? it's not stored in the hst files. If you want to test with real historical Spread you can do it but you need to get tick data and use an additional piece of 3rd party software . . .
 

ok you are right, the result are the same when i'm not logged but the strange thing is that when i'm connected i'm getting 50% rise in profit compare to when i'm not(595 deals with average of 0.8 lot per deal)

when logged out spread is much higher?

 

BTW where can i get tick data?

The Spread is what it is when you start the test . . it is also what it is when you disconnect . .

You can get tick data from a few places . . . Dukascopy, Pepperstone, etc.

 

do you know apart from VPS where i can do online optimization?

thank you very much for all help so far
