    Your post is almost unintelligible. If you are using mechanical translation, you must use simple language structure.

  2. It uses what ever you specified at the start of the run. It that was current, it is the current spread for the pair (your broker,) at the moment you start the test.

    If you start the test on the weekend, the current spread is likely to be very large.

    Always specify Tester Spread

I can only add that in case of testing in MT5 the spread is not adjustable. In this case saved spread is used. Currently it is the same for entire 1M bar and is the minimum spread of that minute.

You can manipulate spreads using custom symbols.

The tester takes into account spread, but not commissions.

The spread setting is on the left side of the tester's settings tab.

There is no such option in MT5. Are you testing your EAs in MT4 or MT5?

In MT5 you don't set the spread, its automatically recorded by the broker.

That's why MT5 backtesting is 100% quality and far more trustworthy than MT4.
