Post by vanyo »

Hello,

Hi Vanyo,

Good question. It seems that when you create a custom symbol in MT5, you can specify the "Spread" in the property of the symbol. I assume all you need to do is set this from the default "floating" spread to a numeric number that represents the fixed spread.

The Metatrader 5 manual might help elaborate some more.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your answer, i was thinking that it might go this way and you confirm too, i`ll work out reading the MT5 manaul and see how it goes. :)
