If I choose the calculation type - "Exchange Futures" as on the screen below, and add a spread, will it be taken into account by the tester during testing ? or will it be ignored ? The idea is to add possible slippage in its own symbol as a spread and test it in the tester.
Taking into account that this topic is dedicated to custom symbols, I will ask here.

Write ticks into custom symbols at once and test only in "by real ticks" mode. Other modes for custom symbols are almost always stupid to use.

I want to noisy quotes for stress tests. of course I will write ticks, but I also think to make charts.
Yes, by the way, there is a question about CustomSymbolSetInteger, namely the property of adding and deleting from MarketWatch :
bool deattach = CustomSymbolSetInteger(Symb,SYMBOL_SELECT,1);
Always gives error 5307 - property is not set correctly. How do you set the property for this command ?

Thank you. Is the rest of the functionality not finished yet? Or will it not be added at all?

The functionality is 90% complete. Not without bugs, of course.

And the mode with random or fixed slippage built into the tester is not suitable?

There slippage is time-based, and I am more interested in slippage not because of ping lag, but in general. If the volume increases, for example (for example, trading on Sber or Gazprom...).

I did a little research and it turned out that less than 90% of the functionality is available, but that's okay, the main thing is that they would expand it.
By the way, the CustomTicksUpdate(customSymbol,ticks) function doesn't work yet, but instead of it you can use a crutch(CustomTicksReplace(customSymbol,from,till*1000,ticks)).
Below I have attached the files that my functionality check script gave me, and the script itself too.

It has a different function by name. Replacing it with a Replace function is not quite clear what TicksAdd is for: throwing the corresponding Tick events.
