I managed to solve the problem:
int start() {
int counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();
if (counted_bars >0) counted_bars--;
int limit=Bars-counted_bars;
spread = (Ask - Bid) / Point;
for (int i=0; i<limit-1; i++) {
Spread[i] = MathMax(Spread[i], spread);
}
return(0);
}

Of course, I am only interested recording the spread starting at the time when the indicator was attached to the chart... candles before this time would be "null".
