By the way, I should get an error in the BT if the SL was under the spread. But as you can see I dont. Not even if i put 1 as SL.

I get your point!

But what Im afraid of is that it doesnt use the Ask line at all and only calculates the SL and TP from a 0 spread.
It does perform the same if I make the SL bigger, but how do I know that it uses the Ask line?
And how do I know that it doesnt just calculate from the Bid line all the time, both buy and sell?

Can yoy make some tests on your side to see if it can be proven that the Ask line is used.

So here is the case!

the only thing Im changing in the ts data is this:
Using XAUUSD

Export Data:
dates from-to
timezone

MetaTrader info:
currency-usd
spread-600 (60pips)
digits are 3 automatic

I have 40 pip SL and 40 pip TP, this should not be possible because of the 60 pip spread.

B/S lot open SL TP W/L

Is this possible or am I doing something wrong?

Ok I understand that.

But if I put a fixed spread of 50 pips, and then have a sl and tp that is lower like 15 pips.
I wouldnt be able to win because the difference from current price to tp in sell orders and sl in buy orders is lower then the spread, but I do.
Can you explaine this?

Hi!

Correct me if Im way off, but

If you have 1pip spread and place an order of 1Lot and with 10 pip SL and 10 pip TP.
This is either going to hit the TP or the SL.
1Lot = 10$ and 1 pip spread = 1$ and 10pips TP/SL = 10$ plus or minus

If it hits the TP its going to give 1Lot = 10$ – (1 pip spread x 2) = 8$
If it hits the SL its going to give 1Lot = -10$ – (1 pip spread x 2) = -12$

When I download TS with 1 pip spread it is giving me +10 and -10 all the time, nothing else, what happened to the spread?

Regarding the commision setting it was my own fault. I didnt read the instructions right, I just followed the steps
Comm type = 0
Base comm = 10
Comm lots = 0

In the TS settings the Base Comm is first, then the Comm type and Comm lots.
So I put the 10 in Comm type.
