Spread history indicator

hi folks

i am looking for a mt4 Spread history indicator, which shows past history of spread of any currency pair

if anyone has one or can code one


your help would be much appreciated

Unless it is used with a fixed spread broker it would be useless. Come to think of it, why would you need one for a fixed spread broker?

The problem is there is no way of calculating historical spreads short of capturing every tick in a database and that creates another set of problems.

thank you for your reply

maybe something along the lines of this

it doesnt have to record spreads too far back, maybe just for 5 days at a time up to the current day. just need to record and see the change in spreads.


thank you

have a look at:

Metatrader 4 spread history indicator

Three options...all require programming skills:

1) Use a tick recorder to save bid/ask data. Then create an indicator to read this tick data, calculating spreads per your needs.

2) Accumulate the spread data for each incoming tick and save it in some "external" location (file, global variable, database, etc). Create an indicator to read the spread data and display.

3) Accumulate the spread data for each incoming tick and save it with your chart data. I use this method. I create range bars using live ticks, but I save the spread data within each MT4 history file record. Then it is easy to display the spread data in an indicator (attached):

My answer is as "It is better late than ever".
What you are looking for is part of the MetaTrader 4 Supreme Edition

The oscillator accumulates Spread data in to the Data folder: MQL/Files/Spread_"SymbolName"_"TimeFrame".tsv (Spread_EURUSD_1.tsv),
And of course draw HISTOGRAM.
