Problem with the Spread

Post by user »

Dear Tickstory,

I have some problems with the spread. The FXT file seems to be ok. The spread should be 1 Point/Pip for the DAX30. (see attached screenshot Dax30_FXT_File.png). But when I close a long and a short position at the same time, they are closed at the same price. The spread in the backtester is 0. Normally the long position should be closed by the bid and the short position by ask price. Please see the attached file Spread_0_DAX30.png. I would be very grateful, if you could help with the problem.

Hi Detlev,

If you are using MT4 Build 950, you will need to use a workaround for a spread issue that was introduced as described here:

Hopefully this should resolve the problem!
