Are symbol properties automatic in case of downloading data from your server?

I would say no, because eg. for Alpari ForexTester sets 3 pip spread instead of 1,2. So..?

Hello,

Forex Tester has default symbol settings for every currency pair. If you download historical data from different brokers, these properties aren't change. So you need to change them manually to make them look like settings from necessary broker.

Hello,

You can ask your broker to give you the specifications so you can enter these specifications in Symbol properties in Forex Tester program and after this you wiil trade with the same specifications which your boker uses in the terminal.
