Spider: an auto-trader for spiderforex's VQ system

[rebeljedi]

Try changing the color scheme in the Strategy Tester windows as I mentioned earlier. I'm pretty sure it's the fix in strategy tester. Still looking at the other errors.

Thanks a lot, George.
I just tried the [Black on White] color scheme on Cowboy IBFX demo but the info screen does not appear.

Can you make sure you don't have any other indicators running? The log from earlier shows that you had Cowboy IBFX Terminal Info running. It uses the comment feature too, so they would be constantly overwriting each other.

Thanks for the tip, I have deleted the Cowboy IBFX Terminal Info indicator and reloaded Simple Spider EA.

But still no info screen even after changing the color scheme to [Black on White].

Nothing weird there (other than the output looks horrible with pairs that have suffixes!). Go ahead and turn off the DoneForTheDay() check and see what we get.

Here goes...

Try this version, it should give us a little more information in the logs and allow you to turn off the DoneForTheDay() setting.

Sorry, I meant run the EA and check the screen/logs. Use the version I just posted, however.

What does the terminal say your account balance is?

What does the terminal say your account balance is?

Hi George,
Account Balance:
MetaQuotes = 5,000
Cowboy IBFX = 25,000

[rebeljedi]

I just logged into MetaQuotes and Cowboy IBFX demos and the info screens based on the latest Test Simple Spider EA are now up and running!
Is it because both MT4s need a day to load configurations?
