Signal - automatic synchronization problem.
In case of connection loss, order placing error, terminal shutdown etc., the account will be re-synchronized with the Signal Source. In this case, the entire Subscriber's and Provider's sets of orders will be checked. Deals closed by the Provider are also closed at the Subscriber's side, while new Provider's deals will be also opened at the Subscriber's side at the price, "which is not worse than the Provider's one".
I do not know about your particular case but you can find about synchronization on this article General information on Trading Signals for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 and on this topic Frequently Asked Questions about the Signals service
Hi,
Thanks for the information.
But I still cannot figure out the reason. There was no network issues, order placing error, or shutdown etc, can be found in the logs.
The only thing I can see is the MT5 tried to sychronize the position without any reason.
It is better that MT5 can allow the user manually to check this or define some pre-condition, once sychronize happened.

Hi,
I am a new trader. Before I developed my own EA, I started the trade from the signal provided in MQL5.com.
Normally, it is working fine, but I found some problem. I have read some documents regarding to Signal, but did not figure out the reason.
Can anyone help me?
The problem is that MT5 automatically synchronized the signal, although provider did not perform any trade during that time.
==Detail==
The history of provider:
The history of mine account:
You see before 2013.06.20 11:53, everything is working fine.
At 2013.06.20 11:53, an automatic synchronization was triggered the logs is like below:
(The timezone is different, so there are 3 hours difference.)
==============
2013.06.20 08:53:31 Signal '******': ping to signal server 3136 ms, to trade server 3137 ms

2013.06.20 08:53:27 Signal ****** : percentage for volume conversion selected according to the ratio of balances and leverages, new value 25%
2013.06.20 08:53:27 Signal ****** : signal provider has balance 1 064.54 USD, leverage 1:100; subscriber has balance 322.01 USD, leverage 1:100
2013.06.20 08:51:15 Signal ****** : stop levels of position [EURUSD.e] updated
==============
The signal provider has 0.01+0.02+0.03+0.04=0.1 lot at 2013.06.20 11:53.
I have 0.01+0.01+0.01+0.01=0.04 lot at 2013.06.20 11:53. (Of course, the volume is calculated automatically due to my balance. )
So if the MT5 try to synchronize the signal, then my account should have 0.1*25%=0.025=0.2.
Since my account has 0.04 lot, then, it will try to sell 0.04-0.02=0.02.
All of the above calculation is correct. However, the problem is why the MT5 tried to synchronize my position?
I did not do anything during that time. How to restrict this kind of automatic synchronization at MT5?
Thanks a lot and regards.
