Hi,
I would like to suggest the possibility of changing the spread used in the tester. The platform always takes the last spread available from the broker. Hex editing the fxt file does not fix it. During weekends and holidays, this may be very upsetting to backtests. This week, for example, market stopped with eurusd showing 11 pips spread, instead of normal 2 pips (interbankfx). I think this is a huge flaw in the platform, making the tester worthless during these times, while we wait for market opening and spread coming back to normal levels. If it is not possible to change this in some new MT4 build, I suggest this feature to be incorporated in the upcoming MT5. Thanks.
