Hi

 is it not possible to use Trade.mqh in EA on VPS?

I migrated some they are not doing anything...

Or should I do something special to make it work?

Thanks

EA not trading on live account

And where are the errors? You must analyze the result of a trade and analyze whether there is an error or not.

Example of actions: sent a Buy trade order and printed the result:

ResultRetcode

Gets the code of request result

ResultRetcodeDescription

Gets the code of request result as a string

 
Thanks for the reply allthough not sure what to do with it; no trades are occurring so impossible to analyze them...

Have you inserted these lines into your code?

*** trade order and printed the result:

ResultRetcode

Gets the code of request result

ResultRetcodeDescription

Are you sure you looked into the log files of the virtual platform? Are you generally asking about MQL5 VPS or third-party hosting?

Be aware that if something does not work, then this is your mistake and you should look for where you made a mistake (the most common mistake is clumsy and oblique code).

Successful completion of the Buy(...) method does not always mean successful execution of the trade operation. It is necessary to check the result of trade request (trade server return code) using ResultRetcode() and value returned by ResultDeal().
 

Hi

could someone confirm that it is supposed to work? 

Anybody  uses trade.mqh in his EA on VPS?

Thanks

Don't blame trade.mqh. Your coding skill is the issue. It's like a carpenter blaming a hammer for missing nails.
 
Thats not what I'm asking.
The question is quite simple: has anybody got a EA on VPS with trade.mqh.
 

I think I found why its not openong positions.I only want open 1 position at a time so I check with PositionsTotal() if position is allready opened.
I want it to check for this EA , but I guess PositionsTotal() goes for the complete tradingaccount.

Whats would be the easiest way to achieve this?
