Re: Which price data does tester based on? (Ask or bid)
It always uses Bid data. MT charts are based on Bid and the exported files are correspondingly based also on Bid. This is important for the backtester engine for calculating the exact deals prices. It uses Bit based on the data and calculates Ask = Bid + Spread.
