Prop Firm Risk

Build a spread filter that protects execution without collapsing trade frequency.

A spread filter can save an EA from bad fills, but a cap that is too strict can remove almost every trade. Treat the cap as a tested parameter, not a random number.

Search intent

Measure spread on the actual symbol

Broker symbols differ. XAUUSD, XAUUSD.raw, and synthetic custom symbols can behave differently.

Read spread from symbol data

Log spread at blocked entry

Compare broker symbols separately

Backtest pass rate

A spread cap should be tested against the active strategy hours. The right question is how often the cap permits valid setups.

Pass rate by hour

Pass rate by session

Trade count after filter

Avoid live-only surprises

If live spread is often above the backtest assumption, the EA should show that as a dashboard blocker instead of silently doing nothing.

Blocked reason: spread

Current spread versus cap
