Hi, I am trying to get the startegy tester to use a fixed spread on a custom symbol. I have set the settings in the symbol to have a spread of 1 but still the symbol uses floating variable spread in the tester. Does anyone know how to solve this?

You must create tick data for your Custom Symbol that has a fixed spread. Just doing it in the "settings" is not enough.
