RoboForex OnTimer not firing on MT4

I have an EA which uses the OnTimer event and works just fine on my accounts with two brokers. However, I have just opened a RoboForex account, and the same EA is not working because the OnTimer event handler is not being hit (added debug code proves it). Has anyone else had this problem or is it
