Post From: SC Bid/Ask != FXCM Bid/Ask

The Chart>>'Show Bid and Ask Lines' reveals a 2.2 to 2.8 pip spread. I read that the replay/backtest methods use this to simulate trading. It also shows this large spread in live trading, however, when I sent an order the fill was almost dead center of the large spread indicated, so I don't think FXCM is charging SC customers extra. The problem is, when I backtest a scalping/quick trading system the large spread is very unreasonable and unprofitable. I looked to 'Find>>Symbol' but -BAAVG is not available. This would be a lot closer to reality to FXCM's spread(app. .1 to .5 PIPs). Is there a manual adjustment that I am missing in the documentation? I am using SC 1220 with W-XP. Thanx! |
