I'm back testing now in visual mode.. thanks for the advice. Question though, does strategy tester account for each and every tick exactly ans the it happened live(or theoretically at least)? I ask because the history data i downloaded was for the ...

yea, you guys are right.. spread is in there. but this is crazy, so that means that at least 20% of my trades are going at least 17 of the 20 pips in either direction, then retracing and going at least 17 of the 20 pips in the other direction... ...
