Simulating institutional spreads on retail accounts

Hello,
I am testing the auto portfolio manager on mt4 on ducascopy and ic markets (both offer reasonably low spreads). The system was developed with the average 0.5 pip spread in mind for the top 28 pairs (closer to institutional reality). I need to run this strategy on a retail mt4 to simulate insitutional performace - or there are prime brokers which offer mt4 demos?.

A few points:
  • this system was made with institutional spreads in mind

  • and institutional execution...

  • top 28 pairs for the top currencies

    EURUSD
    GBPUSD
    USDCHF
    USDJPY
    USDCAD
    AUDUSD
    NZDUSD
    EURGBP
    EURCHF
    EURJPY
    EURCAD
    EURAUD
    EURNZD
    GBPCHF
    GBPJPY
    GBPCAD
    GBPAUD
    GBPNZD
    CHFJPY
    CADCHF
    CADJPY
    AUDCHF
    AUDJPY
    AUDCAD
    AUDNZD
    NZDCHF
    NZDJPY
    NZDCAD

  • ic markets RAW SPREAD and dukascopy ECN offer at best 1,5/1,2 pip spread on average

  • currenex can offer 0.5 but I cannot back test on them

    which retail broker you think is the closest to insitutional spreads? or do you know any prime brokers which offer mt4 demos?
thanks a lot!
 
spreads are way smaller at Tickmill which functions as ECN too. Personally I like IB for about anything but just not for forex, been there, done that ...
 
maybe tickmill is what you are looking for
Yeah Tickmill or Hotforex perfect for backtesting they also offer Vip Demo I Guess. But what is the sense to use instant execution for backtesting? It kills the whole strategy, no?
