Bid-Ask spread in strategy analyzer
For historical back tests using price data, should I subtract 1 tick per trade from my final results, or does the algorithm already subtract the bid-ask spread?

Hello YD777,
Thank you for your post.
Backtesting is performed on historical data and does not consider the difference between both bid and ask. You can factor in Slippage to assist in the concept of bid versus ask. However, the historical data is only the last, bid, or ask data.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
