MetaTrader 4 and symbol properties

in the MT4 program on the strategy tester panel there is a button called symbol properties .... how can I make changes in there...

I m asking because I have tested it in 2 pcs and there are many differences from one to other for example the Spread in one installation is 2 and on the other is 20... why? how can I change it?

the 20 is probably because of fractional pips. my guess is that it's alpari right? they started using fractional pips in their platform but forgot to update metatrader to account for that. therefore, evrything is multiplied by ten. 2 pips become 20 because of retarded people. freaking russians.

blacksun1,

Do you know how to edit the values in the symbol properties? Where is the information stored?

i have no idea. i'm pretty sure it is on the broker side. instead of doing 1.5 pips they didn't add the decimal so it comes out to be 15 pips. i also think it could be the fact that metatrader wasn't designed for fractional pips. i honestly have no idea why they did it. again: freakin russians

A spread of 20pips with a pip size of 0.00001 and a spread of 2pips with a pip size of 0.0001 should both give the same results. I don't see what the problem is.
