Please explain how a "properly written EA" includes spreads? I think we may be saying the same thing. I hardcoded a spread removal from my balance on every trade that is made, and store it in a variable that I display in my journal log. When I trade the same EA live, I delete this special "backtesting" code.

My point is that the MT4 backtester doesn't remove spreads automatically, so the graph is probably bogus.
