MT5 - Spread configuration and calculation

[fdelaitre]

Hi,

I added a new custom Symbol to MT5 (EuroStoxx Future Continuous Contract : json file in attachement) and imported bars data (setting the spread value of each minute bar to 0).

When I run a backtest in this custom Symbol, the spread is always equal to 2.

Is there a way to configure or influence the spread calculation ?

Thanks

You just have to set the spread in your custom symbol data.
