Description
FX brokers make a lot of claims about minimum and maxim spread of an instrument. But is it really reliable?
Use this indicator to display real minimum and maxim spread from moment the indicator is initialized.
I used Draw Spread by gorin (/algos/indicators/show/331) as a basis.
Note: after adding the indicator, initial spread values as set temporary (for calculation convenience) and those should be update almost immediately, so don't get scared with 1000 minimum spread value.
Please give some feedback how useful this indicator is for you.
Thank a lot...

var spread = Math.Round(Symbol.Spread / Symbol.PipSize, 2);
if (spread > maxSpread)
maxSpread = spread;
else if (spread < minSpread)
minSpread = spread;
string minText = string.Format("{0}", minSpread);
string maxText = string.Format("{0}", maxSpread);
ChartObjects.DrawText("minmaxSpread", "\t" + "Min/Max Spread: " + minSpread + "/" + maxSpread, StaticPosition.TopCenter, Colors.LightSalmon);
}
}
