Post From: Do You Guys Use the "Commission" to Account for your "Spread" when trading Forex? Or?

I think the title pretty much sums up my question.

I can't figure out how to get the spread to show up correctly when I look at the "Trade Activity Log" after I've been using the "Replay" to manually back-test.

I've been suggested something about changing the "tick size"... which I did change to 0.00025 instead of 0.00005
in order to try and make the spread be more like 25 pips instead of 5 pips. But this is giving me strange behavior on the charts. Is this how you guys do it ??

or...do you use the commission to just subtract the spread from each trade?

Please help me !
