Issue with 0.0 spread value when running tester

Hello,

For some reason I get 0.0 value in spread during backtesting.
Ask-bid is the same as MODE_SPREAD and equal 0.0.

Even when running the strategy tester with fixed spread set instead of "current" (say 5 points = 0.5 pip) it still shows 0.0 .

The MT4 export configuration file spread setting is definitely not 0.0 , and even if there was a spread bug during export - a fixed spread in the tester window should have ignore it...No?
when running in an independent MT4, externally from TickStory , no such phenomena.

Any suggestions?

MT4 build 950
TickStory 1.7.5.0

Thanks
Mati

Hi Mati,

There is a known issue in Build 950 where the spread wasn't being set correctly. This was resolved in subsequent versions of MT4. Please check out these links for more information and a workaround:
