should spread be current or the same downloaded data

Hi Tickstory
so i modify instrument data pre download and followed the guide to modify values based on fxt file. but i face a trap and wonder if it matters or not.
as you know spread is variable based on volatility etc.. now if i for example modify mt4 setting lets say 200 based on specific time and conditions then after download the data then conduct backtesting but checking current spread either 100 or 300 should i put 200 or leave it to current or it doesn't matter as ea will follow what modify in mt4 setting but when i see report it will be based on spread from current value.
looking forward to hear from you, many thanks
