Cannot get the spread information in backtesting

Hello everybody

I cannot get the real spread information from executing

MarketInfo("GBPUSD",MODE_SPREAD);

in backtesting. It gives "0" all the time.

Anybody can give me some hints?

Will it work in real-time or I may get wrong information as well?

Thanks !!

instead of doing marketinfo, try subtracting the ask from bid.

double whatsthespread = (Ask-Bid)/Point;

that will give you a value in pips for the spread.

Oh Yes, you are right .. haha :surprised but I cant get these real values from backtesting either .. the broker wants to hide it ???

What do you mean by the 'real value'?
This is at best a slippery concept when discussing MT4 brokers.
