Get the spread
Compare against "too wide"
Ignore the tick.

What's the problem?

if( SymbolInfoInteger(Symbol(),SYMBOL_SPREAD) > 50 )
if(        MarketInfo(Symbol(),  MODE_SPREAD) > 50 )
if( Ask - Bid                                 > 50 * _Point)
if( Ask - Bid                                 >  5 * pips2dbl)

ah, sorry I wasn't specific enough...

I meant I wanted to know how to disable manual trading. Kind of like to prevent stupid costly mistakes that I've done a few times, like entering a trade when it is much wider than normal.

Show both the ask and bid lines on your chart.

Show the spread in Comment().

Draw a large colored OBJ_LABEL displaying the spread or a message "No trades!"

Add buttons to your chart to place your trades, rather than the usual interface. Code the spread check into those.

Lots of possibilities.

Hand build guides are just nice to have. :)
