Hi!

Two simples questions:
#1 I'd like to know if the spread in Strategy Tester is measured in PIPs or Pipets or another unit.
#2 What means exactly a option 'current' in spread???





Thx

1. Spread in Tester is multiplier for value of _Point
Bid is read from History . Ask is calculated as Bid+Spread*Point

2. When selected Current,
 both value, Ask and Bid are read form real chart
 (Symbol must be listed in the 'Market Watch' window)
Keep in mind that Ask and Bid are <predefined Variables>
... so this value are read with <RefreshRates()> ONLY !

2. Current is the current spread. If it is 2 point in EURUSD right now, it will be equal to 2 in the test.
