Thanks for the suggestion. What you describe is technically a variable spread since MT4 only allows you to set the spread once in the exported data. If you are proposing any spread that varies, it will need to be embedded in the volume in the same way that the real-spread works. Outside of this limitation, the idea is still useful as a potential feature when exporting MT4 data with variable spreads.
HI,
I guess that’s why Birt’s TDS allows you to set either the use of the real spread of Bid and Ask of the tick-data or the volumes of a bar.
But one has to launch MT4 by either your program or Birt’s TDS and speculated that this might enable an option to manipulate the data ‘send’ to the MT4-terminal?
Thanks for all your effort,
Gooly
What is happening is a two-step process – in the first step, all the spread information is written to the data file. In the second step, the launcher facilitates the use of this information without it getting overwritten by MT4. In the case of the variable spread feature of Birt’s TDS, this effectively changes the behaviour of MT4 so uses the volume data as the spread.
