Tester and spread
gerseun:
Hi,
I am quite new with the automated trading. Trying the Strategy Tester with a Metaquotes demo account I found the spread being too high, peaks of more than 40 pips, this crush the scalping strategy I am trying to test.
I didn'tfind any way to adjust that like with MT4. Is there any way to set the tester with a small spread?
Metaquotes is not a broker, use a real broker demo account.
MT5 doesn't allow to set the spread on backtest, it's taken from M1 history data.
