Why do you believe that the difference between ask and bid is 20 points?

because I printed the difference to see in the EA.
and it's constant 20*Point()

Hi
When I perform an open price backtest, i got a difference between the ask and bid of 20 points, even if i set the spread to a fixed smaller value in the settings.
this is disconcerting, as you would expect to have the set spread and not a big unmodifyable spread
is there a work around that ?
thanks
Jeff
The bid/ask spread in the market is not defined by you, but by the market. You can't influence that.

Except in the tester, which OP stated.
