Does any one know how to prevent trading during high spreads. I read a few things that indicate that the code must differentiate between 4 and 5 decimal currencies. But I haven't seen any specific code that I can drop into MQL icon to perform such. I would so much appreciate your help. Im looking for something generic so that I can use the "SYMBOL" parameter rather the having to input the specific currency. Or if you know someone who can code for cash to do this this will work also.

Try this condition:
bid-ask > your limit

Hi Thanks for replying to my question.

Did you mean to say "Bid-Ask<3.5" using the "Less than rather than greater than symbol. Im not a coder. But it looks like your code says to execute if the spread is greater than a certain value. Please explain.

If you join your spread condition with trading conditions using ANDs you should use
(Bid - Ask < amount) AND (...)
amount is a value not pips
