Hi, I am testing my EA with one of the brokerage firm and they offer 1.8 pips spread for EURUSD.

My problem is that the spread is showing as 18 spread instead of 1.8 pips. I used both marketinfo function and manual calcuation using Points and the result is the same. I think it may be a bug in Meta Trader.Anyone has similar experience with this and is there a way to overcome this?

most likely this is due to your broker offering fractional pips. You should be able to correct for this by dividing your result by 10.
