Spread making strong jumps every second - how to get the low spread?
yes you can use a filter if spread < lower then order.
but it requires usage of an ea with gui.yes you can use a filter if spread < lower then order.
ok thanks! but problem is that spread jumps every second between 8 and 25, so i guess it wouldn't be so efficient.
i guess best option is to make a buy limit order? well no doesnt effect spreads..
No you set the max spread then when you click buy or sell on the EA's gui it will start to monitor spread and order when it drops under the pre defined setting.
It's also a good idea to add a time span say a minute then it will try for a minute and if spread stays too high the request will time out and it will just give up.
You bigger worry is the speed of your connection you have to be fast otherwise it might still slip into the expensive domain.spread of my broker is sometimes jumping every second between 7 and 25 or similar, and when i place an order i mostly end up with a high spread.
is there a way to order with maximum spread or to make sure order only triggers with low spread?
use deviation paramerer to OrderSend() - in MqlTradeRequest struct (this is the max spread allowed in points, not sure it works on ECN - haven't tried)

ulong deviation; // Maximal possible deviation from the requested price
Max slippage from the requested price, not max spread.
That one is for when you have a slow connection and market price has changed while the order was in it's way.

Isn't it the same as max spread if you set it to 10 points and you know the current price then in fact it will not allow price to flunctuate more then 10 points, which is the OP's request

Slippage is ignored with market orders.
