forex spreads in optimizer

04-23-2008, 10:30 PM

Hi!

When I optimize my strategy, does it automatically take the spread into account for stop losses or is there a specific parameter that I have to set? (I didn't turn on any comissions.)

Thanks,
Chris

Not sure I follow. Since there is no historical spread data available for backtesting, I would think the answer is no.

OK, so how can I take the spread into account when backtesting?
