MetaTrader enables logging into many accounts.

Tomac1:
I have 49 instances of MetaTrader at VPS and its very hard for it. There are no possible to open more than fifty MetaTraders.

Why? Reduce max bars on chart, and have the terminal restart once per day.

1. Schedule reboot once per day. "shutdown -r -t 5"
   
2. or have each terminal restart periodically.

   #define HR2400          86400                   // 24 * 3600
   datetime TimeOfDay(datetime when){  return( when % HR2400          );       }
   datetime DateOfDay(datetime when){  return( when - TimeOfDay(when) );       }
   datetime lastRestart;
   int init(){ lastRestart = TimeCurrent(); ... }
   int start(){
      :
      if (TimeCurrent() - lastRestart > HR2400) RestartTerminal();
   }
   bool restartTerminal(){
       if (!Shell("cmd.exe"," /C restartTerminal.bat")) return(false);

script for subsequent logins to accounts in Favorites tab of Naviagator window of MT4

you should modify the code to your needs

Поместите нужные вам торговые счета (можно разных ДЦ) в закладку Избранное окна Навигатор.

Запустите скрипт, указав количество торговых счетов в закладке Избранное окна Навигатор.

Примечание: работе скрипта не мешают гуляние по окнам (настройки терминала, свойства графика, архив котировок и т.д.) и присутствие нескольких запущенных терминалов.
