Backtesters do not include spreads. If the EA is shooting for 2 pips profit and the spread is 2 pips, you break even at best.

Spreads can be hardcoded into the code. You'd have to shoot for 4 pips instead of 2.... drastically reduce profits IMHO. Also, w/ 2000+ trades over the course of a few weeks, spreads will be huge.

Gotta get real people!

Anybody know, what is to do?

It would be great.
