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.

Code: Select all

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

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.

Hi George,

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?
All times are UTC Page 6 of 12
