Is the Bid V Ask difference shown here when you "request ticks" from a custom symbols CSV file an accurate representation of the spread paid for each trade taken during a backtest? In other words is this difference showing that I would have paid (highlighted in blue) 2.5 pips for a trade taken at that time? Furthermore, can you draw any conclusions when looking at the difference in the Bid V Ask when you request ticks about the results of the backtest? Is this spread the same as what you would pay a broker when they quote you a spread? Is there any way to draw an eyeball average (in extreme moderation) from looking at this difference and somehow calculating the backtest if there were no spread, or closer to what your broker would quote you? For example looking at the number of trades? Any information helps thanks
