TROUBLESHOOTING & FAQ

"WebRequest not allowed" Error Go to Tools -> Options -> Expert Advisors and ensure https://api.telegram.org is added to the list.

Slave not copying trades Ensure both Master and Slave are using the exact same CopierFileName. Check the "Experts" tab for error messages.

"Circuit Breaker Triggered" This means you received more than 10 signals in 60 seconds. You can increase MaxTradesPerMinute in the settings if this was intentional.

Symbol not found If your broker uses a different symbol name (e.g., GOLD vs XAUUSD), use the CustomMappings setting. Example: GOLD=XAUUSD.

Does this work on MQL5 VPS? Only the Local Copier and Manual File modes work on MQL5's built-in VPS. The Telegram and Bridge modes require a standard Windows VPS because MQL5 VPS does not support WebRequest.
