Spread Value is negative?
22 Jan 2018, 22:27

Hi,

I want to check the spread before entering a position. 

So my Public Parameter would = 0.2 as the lower spread for EURUSD

However, all references to calculate Symbol.Spread seem to return a negative value. Is this the correct result?

Here's my current variable;

var spread = Math.Round(symbol.Spread / symbol.PipSize, 1);

Many thanks,

Drummond

Sorry, may have jumped the gun posting about this.... So I have got some positive value statements in my Log... 

I'm guessing the interbank spread is negative fairly often? and as I'm using an ECN broker and paying trade commisions I get the interbank spread?

Right?!?

Hi Drummond,

I can confirm that negative spreads are not impossible, on the contrary you can see them frequently on some brokers. However for a more accurate answer it is better to contact your broker directly since they are in charge of their price feeds.

Best Regards,
