What makes you think the 6th June 2013 was a weekend ?
I made this ea to check backtest's spread.
I reproduced it also. Seems there is a peek in the spread starting on 2013.06.06 14:47. (I modified the code a little to print more values).

Thank You. It may be news time or data errors in metaquotes.
I cannot believe this ea's result because 24 pip is too big for EURUSD.
Data errors can make developer's effort to nothing.

I made an ea that check tester's spread,
I ran it with EURUSD H1.
I think that this result is wrong..
Ordinary spread is 2-3 pips (in 4 digits). But this EA finds 10-24 pips spread.
Server is Metaquotes Demo.
Do you have any opinion about this result?
