Manually set spread (to 0) in MT5?

New comment
 

Hi, I am trading binary options so there is no spread. Slippage probably, but no spread.

I have read that in MT4 one could set this manually. Is there a way to change this in MT5? I found a spread in the settings but it says 'floating'... which confirms what I read here: https://www.metatrader5.com/en/terminal/help/algotrading/testing_features

There *must* (?) be a way to adjust this so that the spread is not taken from the historical "bid" and "ask" prices when executing orders?

Thank! 😊
