Hello,
We are planning on providing the actual tick data (actual spread) in the future. The current backtesting setting options for the spread are Fixed value, Random spread and Current live spread as you can see in the screenshot below.

Hello,
To get the close price of the last completed bar it would be:
var index = MarketSeries.Close.Count - 1; // the current bar being created
car close = MarketSeries.Close[index - 1]; // the last completed bar's close price
The Gross profit would be _position.GrossProfit
For pips you would need to calculate it according to this:
Sell: Entry price - Ask -- pips = Math.Round((_position.EntryPrice - Symbol.Ask)/Symbol.PipSize, Symbol.Digits);
Buy: Entry price - Bid -- pips = Math.Round((_position.EntryPrice - Symbol.Bid)/Symbol.PipSize, Symbol.Digits);
note that OnPositionOpened the value of gross profit would be minimal maybe you want to add it to OnPositionClosed.

Since this robot will modify all positions in the account then it will affect all positions even the ones that have been opened (or will be opened) by the still active robots.
If you want the fail-safe robot to only manage the positions opened by the robots that failed then you may do it by writing their position id's to a file on the OnError event and then stop the robot with the Stop() method.
The fail-safe robot can read this file and keep track of the positions modified thus far in a list.
The other robots will also need to implement lists with all active positions, unless each robot opens only one position at a time.
For more information on implementing lists see this example: /forum/calgo-reference-samples/56 and for an example on writing to a file see this: /forum/calgo-reference-samples/54
Reading from a file is also done in a simple way. We will add an example that reads and writes to a file.
This logic may not allow for much flexibility, since it stops the robot OnError and that does not mean that the robot has failed.
You may implement this according to your desired strategy and ask us for any help that you need.
