UseCloud=1 within configuration file

[pvo2]

Hi,

In automating the optimization process for a handful of currency pairs, I have created a configuration file (.ini) for each optimization exercise which includes the UseCloud=1 reference so that the Cloud network is activated. However, when running the configuration file the Cloud is not activated as expected. I have tried rearranging the order of the reference such that UseCloud=1 comes before ShutdownTerminal=1 but makes no difference. Has anyone experienced this issue? If so, can you kindly advise how the problem can be overcome. Listed below is an example of the configuration file.

Thanks in advance.

Does it work when you don't try to use the cloud ?

Angevoyageur - Yes I've been through that forum and also http://www.pssforex.com/index.php/support/mt5_support/configuration_file but can't find any mention about difficulties of using the cloud or any additional requirements other than including the "UseCloud=1" syntax in the configuration file.

RaptorUK - I've tried to do the following 1) disable the cloud and run the configuration file (without "UseCloud=1" syntax) 2) enable the cloud within the terminal but not include the "UseCloud=1" in the config file 3) enable the cloud within the terminal and also include the "UseCloud=1" in the config file. Also 3 scenarios didn't work.

More generally, there must be something simple that I am missing. I assume there are others that have no issues having the cloud running during a batch optimization job? Do you guys experience any issues using the cloud during a batch job? It is indeed a mystery!
