Spread value conditional

Hi There,

Im totally new to zorro and pretty bad at programming in general.

How can I create an on tick trade conditional that takes into account the spread.

For example i've tried:

function tick(){
if(Spread < 5){
[trading code goes here];
}
}

But when I try that with a simple long order, linked with and Mt4 account my orders go berserk and don't take into account the spread conditional at all?

Thanks!

Look good, the spread condition look ok to me and certainly not like beginner.

But I know no stock where spread is 5, spread is normally 0.01 or 0.0005 or so. Maybe you mean 5 pips? Also you should have another condition aside from spread, or else your code will open 1000 trades very quick.

Thanks Spirit, I had some basic JavaScript expxerience in the past

The code still buys like crazy on tick if I set the value to < 0

e.g:

function tick(){
if(Spread = 0){
enterLong();
}
}

I think it's buying on tick, because it seems irregular in it's buying - but still atleast 1 order a second which makes me think it's ignoring the Spread conditional?

Nvm, i figured it out! You were right, I was being dumb
