Andrei Chiriac:

As far as i know in MT4 backtest, 1 pip spread = 10.

If you want to backtest with 2 pips spread, you must insert 20 spread in Strategy Tester.

I have prinded bid and ask prices:


2020.11.30 21:23:45.077 2020.01.22 04:00:00  adx USDJPY,H1: ask bid 109.906 109.901


I have set spread 5 in tester. So its 5 points.

But I showed that it is not swaps, I printed swaps each day and I see it is not swaps. Swaps make only part of the loss. I also have printed commision - and commision is also not big. What am I missing I do not understand.
