- Back testing with different spreads for Entry/Exit?
- Strategy Tester Spread 2
- Help on Strategy Tester settings
Are the values of the spread settings for the Strategy Tester actually a tenth of the shown values? For instance, is a spread setting of '2' actually a spread of 0.2?
Spread is in points.
for a 5 digit symbol, 1 point is 0.00001
for a 4 digit symbol, 1 point is 0.0001
for a 3 digit symbol, 1 point is 0.001
for a 2 digit symbol, 1 point is 0.01
So, if I understand this correctly,
for a 5 digit symbol, a spread setting of 2 is 2/10 of a pip
for a 4 digit symbol, a spread setting of 2 is 2 pips
for a 3 digit symbol, a spread setting of 2 is 20 pips
for a 2 digit symbol, a spread setting of 2 is 200 pips
Right?
Just follow the spread points.
4 digit symbol & spread 2
0.0001 x 2 = 0.0002
spread 20
0.0001 x 20 = 0.0020
ASAR: for a 5 digit symbol, a spread setting of 2 is 2/10 of a pip for a 4 digit symbol, a spread setting of 2 is 2 pips for a 3 digit symbol, a spread setting of 2 is 20 pips for a 2 digit symbol, a spread setting of 2 is 200 pips | Depends on the pair and broker (Point/Digit)
