I was your trades on Friday, Feb 16. I did not touch it - no interference whatsoever. I was using the MQL5 virtual server.
Here's what happened: Two buy trades opened and closed in profit. Two more buy trades opened.
I had set my equity level to stop copying and close positions at a DD of about 30%. When my equity had dropped to the set level, my positions closed.
Then, totally by surprise, 2 more buy positions opened... so without any interference on my part I had 6 buy signals opened to the providers 2. What a bargain!
Note that I was not copying SL or TP.
There's a lot of funky sh*t going on in MQL5.
On another signal today I reached TP when the provider didn't. In this case, I copied SL and TP. 4 seconds AFTER I had reached the TP level and taken profit another sell position opened up at the TP level, which cancelled out all my gains because I wasn't attending my computer when it happened so I couldn't intervene. The point of signal copying is not having to babysit them. Unfortunately, so much sh*t goes on you cannot afford to be absent.
I had to babysit that signals for 9 hours straight. Lucky I did as I managed to trade my account back to break even and only lost 30% on the other.
It's bad enough having to endure lousy signals, but a whole other matter when the technology lets you down.
MQL5 signal copying system should disable signal copying when your equity limit it hit.
If that didn't happen is a flaw in the system.
As for TP and SL levels copying, I have warned you not to copy them, because what you encountered is exactly the problem. You close these orders at different levels than the signal and the MQL5 signal copying system, re-opens them upon synchronization.
Is there any solution for this, yet?
I don't understand where the difference is between ticking that last box or not?
Hi all - is there a solution to this yet?
All the positions I closed just keep re-syncing and buying in at the current market price whenever I start the VP.
I just need it not to re-syn the positions that I manually closed.
Will 'suspending' the signal and then closing out your positions before reactivating the signal work?

Yes.
4 years later still the same problem, looks mql5 doesn't care, anyone found a workaround this problem specialy when the tp is hit on your account before the signal's provider account ?
The solution is NOT to copy the TP/SL levels in the Signals settings, that way you will close your signal copied trades only when the signal provider closes them.
Hi Eleni, and everybody else here!
I am working on solution now and seem to have made some progress
Over the last week Ive tried all the combinations "enable copy trading- disable copy trading" "synchronise" after disabling, before migrating, stop loss take profit on/off/ before sync.
I hope youll understand what I mean- I have tried all the sequences.
So in the end I TURNED OFF MLQ5 VPS and had the following options in the terminal
Agree to terms of signals... Yes (box ticked)
Enable subscription... Yes
Copy stop/TP No (box not ticked)
Allow Sync without confirm Yes
Then I closed a position and waited for it to come back. Positions are taking about 10secs to 1minute to come back I noticed
Position returned. So then I unticked Allow Sync without confirm and closed off another position and it HAS NOT COME BACK.
Now its hard to tell whether it is disallowing Synce because the providers position has been closed or because I unticked Allow Sync. The reason is because I am unable to see open trades in the Signal providers Profile.
There is a trade column and account colomn in the providers profile, but as the figures are not changing it can't be established that any particular trade in these lists is active.
So here is the full summary:
I have turned off MT5 VPS, but I believe my broker has VPS attached to my Mt5 account so I cannot fully explain if/how VPS is interfering with Copy Signal application.
Should I confirm with Broker if they have supplied VPs? However, It is clear that MLQ5 is manipulating Copy Signals in a way that the broker terminal does not because nothing changed before I switched off MLQ5 VPS. I tried every combination of settings and it only stopped reestablishing closed trades when I turned it off.
So these are the full parameters I am using now, and closed trades are not coming back
MLQ5 Stopped server (I didnt cancel well, because I paid for it and when I can find a way to bring it to life I will stomp on its head then It will be there waiting)
Agree to terms of subscription Yes
Enable subscription Yes
Copy stop/TP No
Allow sync with confirm No
But there is still investigations to be done
Are there no trades coming back because I have done something to stop copying? As I said above- cant tell because I cannot see open trades in Providers account to see if they have been copied into mine
Do I need to resync? I am not sure at this point because im really not sure if I have done it since stopping the evil returns. I do not want to push the button to find out. But, I do know that pushing it or not pushing it
did not make a difference when hooked up to MLQ5 server.
Remember I said that trades were still returning AFTER switching off MLQ5 VPS, so having this off is NOT the reason the trades are not returnning ei; my account is not copying at all because I turned it off
Could I contact Signal provider to find out which of the trades in their list are actually open trades and if so why are the figures changing. I mean, obviously its a screen shot but how helpful is this to a subscriber?
Not at all hey? Especially if there's not mention of how long ago the screen shot was taken and Journal entries in terminal are way too confusing to decipher.
Please be aware that your broker account CAN copy signals, whether or not they have provided you with a VPS.
In this case you would have to leave your computer on, and logged into your trading account constantly.
Remember you cannot log on to two separate broker accounts in MT4/5 at the same time. You may have multiple accounts listed in the one terminal but when you switch from one account to the other the first logs you out.
and copy trading would be interrupted.
So I have not solved the problem, Im unhappy to report. But I feel a bit better knowing that It is clearly something to do with MLQ5. I may be able to leave my comp on for a couple of days to run the copy trader until I research
a new solution. Maybe a VPS provider who was also knowledgeable with MT5 would be able to assist in explaining how to use with VPS.
I really hope that this can walk someone further down their path and maybe find a solution- TEAM WORK!!!
Does any here feel that we just shouldnt be using MT4/MT% at all? I have so many problems with it. Trading view is no way this buggy and in fact, I cant remember ever having a problem with them. I have had a couple of glitches
on broker platforms, but nothing serious.
I dont think that we should support MT5 anymore, they propbably think we are fools
Further to my post above / correction I need to make two corrections to what Ive said
I cannot press synchronise again to see if "normal" copying starts again because this is listed in the MLQ5 VPS dialogue box, and IM NOT TURNING IT ON AGAIN. For now anyway.
Ive already established that syncing without confirmation, brings back the evil, so there seems to be nothing else to click to start "normal" copying again, if I actuallly have disabled it.
So I just have to wait to see if another position opens in my account and then maybe contact signal provider and ask if they have just opened same position.
Man this is so Dumb

I don't know what your objective is.
In my view if you trust a signal and a provider you copy it and if you don't, you shouldn't copy it.
