How to change spread in Sim mode replay

Hello
How can I set the bid-ask spread in simulated trading replay?
For example, in FXCM broker we have +-0.40 of spread in XAUUSD, but when I'm replaying a chart in Sierra Chart Simulation mode it shows a 0.05 spread. This difference is very relevant for statistics, and I want to change it to a 0.40.
Thanks

What is the Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Intraday Data Storage Time Unit set to?

To reliably increase the spread you need to set Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Intraday Data Storage Time Unit to 1 Second and re-download the Intraday data in the chart.

After you do this, you can increase the Tick Size in Chart >> Chart Settings to the spread that you want. Complete information about this is documented here:
