About the Backtest Spread Settings

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

On Gogojan's sales page, you can find backtests.

Backtests conducted by EA developers are posted as they please.

So,

please look at the backtest spread settings.

--------------------------------

In the above image, it is 15, i.e., 1.5 pips

--------------------------------

The unit here is "points".

10 points equals 1 pip.

In my EA development process,

USD/JPY = 1.5 pips

EUR/JPY = 2.0 pips

EUR/USD = 1.5 pips

GBP/JPY = 3.0 pips

GBP/USD = 2.0 pips

I developed the EA with this spread setting,

and provided backtests with realistic spread movements corresponding to all ticks of that spread setting.

--------------------------------

For your trading accounts,

what is your actual spread?

For example, is USD/JPY around 0.5 pips?

If that is not the case,

what would happen if the backtest spread is 0.5?

Whether you can win at that point is unclear because you might lose to the spread.

If you want to win,

you may only be able to use brokers offering narrow spreads.

Even if spreads are narrow,

domestic accounts may charge a trading fee of about 0.4 pips.

In that case, you must effectively add that to the spread.

Personally,

to accommodate all such accounts,

I set the spreads with ample headroom.

When choosing an EA, this is extremely important, so pay attention.

Well then!
