Check Spread

Prevent bad entries by restricting trades based on spread conditions.

Updated over 9 months ago

Purpose

The Check Spread block ensures that trades only execute when the market spread is within a defined range, preventing excessive slippage.

How It Works

  • Set a maximum allowed spread (in pips or points).

  • If the real-time spread is below this threshold, the block returns true.

  • If the spread is too high, it prevents execution.

Use Case

  • Avoid trading during volatile market conditions.

  • Prevent unnecessary slippage during spread spikes.

  • Improve order execution efficiency by filtering bad conditions.

⚠ Note: This is essential for scalping strategies that require tight spreads.
