SPREAD_LOW
  Very optimistic spread, representative of raw spread accounts with commission
  (e.g. IC Markets Raw Spread account).

SPREAD_MEDIUM
  Average spread profile, representative of standard accounts without commission
  (e.g. IC Markets Standard account).

SPREAD_HIGH

result of any automated strategy. We recommend testing your strategy with
multiple spread profiles to verify its resilience under different market
conditions.
