How to test with variable Spread

Hi,
I am working on a EA with Spicky strategy and is so sensitive for changing spread, from other side I can not find any "variable spread" option in your expert Tick data.
Will I be able to correctly read the real & natural of spread on that Tick time, if I internally monitor the spread number by using "Spread=Ask-Bid"?

Thanks

Hi Fardibavar,

If you are referring to Metatrader 5, then you can access the variable spread by performing a Ask-Bid calculation. If you are referring to Metatrader 4, then this feature is currently in plan but not available yet.

Hope this helps.

FYI, our beta program for Advanced Tester is now underway which supports variable spread (as well as slippage and some other features).
