Quick bugfix please: Max spread is 100 but needs to be more like 5000

My broker recently supported BTCUSD, and the spread right now is 1500 ($15.00) but cAlgo supports a max of 100, which would totally decimate the accuracy of backtesting (and tick data only goes back a few weeks.)

 

Please increase the max spread ASAP in the next release so we can backtest this.  

Thanks!

Another more severe problem:

 

VolumeStep and VolumeMin are 0, which I'm guessing causes ExecuteMarketOrder to crash with a DivideByZeroException (after fixing my own code that crashed due to these nonsensical values.)

Another problem people are going to run into: max SL in cTrader is 50000 pips ($5 USD), which is going to be too small.
