Hello,
I have an MT5 EA that works really well until spreads widen.
The EA is a free EA that i have optimized really well on XAUUSD and the spread is what makes or breaks its performance.
It has no spread filter and i don't have access to the source code.
I believe the options i have are
-Somehow get the ea to invalidate a trade with high spread or
-Some ability to enable/disable algo trading on high spread.
are there any other ways i can do this?
Or are there any existing API that can do this? I'm no coder either
The only way out will be to get a new Ea that works on this strategy "if you know it", ask a developer/coder to code it and include a spread filter according to your liking, conversely you can look at codebase, maybe you can find something there.
