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! |

We have contacted FXCM about this issue. By default the pricing in the chart does use Bid and Ask Average. However, this does not affect the actual Bid and Ask prices which are recorded and used during a replay. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
