When I enter a spread of say 3 pips
You can only enter a spread during Backtesting … when you do this you are trying to simulate what happens during Live Trading.
If I leave the spread at 0 – what effect will that have on the system going live?
If you leave spread at 0 during Backtesting, you are kidding yourself because when you go Live the broker will be levying a spread on any trade you make.
Ah yes, well Im not on about the backtesting, I am happy with my system as it it except for the detail that it doesnt execute orders on the correct place – when I have entered a spread of 3 it will excecute an order at for e.g. 97 (instead of 100)
I want the order to be executed on 100, so if I leave the spread on 0 on my live system – will the order excecute at 100?
