disabled for free products.
After one activation you can use the product on a computer without
any restrictions. You will not be able to download the copy of the

with a detailed description of the product in the column with its
specifications (described above).
Buying a trading robot on MQL5 Market
has a distinct benefit over all other similar options - an automated
system offered can be thoroughly tested directly in the MetaTrader 5
terminal. Before buying, an Expert Advisor can and should be carefully run in all unfavorable modes in the built-in Strategy Tester to get a complete grasp of the system, seeing that every Expert Advisor offered on MQL5 Market has a demo version available.
MT4 and very old builds of MT5: I optimized the EAs from this thread just to find good settings for the pair, I was backtesting them, and I traded on demo for some time just to be sure that EAs are profitable.
With new builds of MT5: I will optimize the EAs from this thread to find the settings, and I will backtesting them with 'every tick based on real ticks' - and it will be same as trading by those EA on real account for many months or years!
If you are backtesting EA on MT5 using 'every tick based on real ticks' so it will be almost same with trading on MT5 platform with some particular broker (because it is based on actual historical data).
In MT5 you can backtesting robots with the closest possible conditions to the real market natively(real tick data, real variable spreads, lag, slippage, etc). In MT4 you can't natively. You only can if you pay for a third-party software. If so, you also have to download history data from a few sources (there are many few, almost everyone uses the same source), transform it to MT4 format and open the platform through this third-party software in order to patch MT4 behavior. You take many hours to complete this process, and you have to repeat it every time you want to incorporate new data. We have all seen hundreds of robots that obtained spectacular results in backtesting, but when operating in real account the results were very bad. This is mainly because they were made with conditions that had nothing to do with real market conditions.
For more information about it - read this summary.
--------------
As i know - some coders/traders are converting their MT4 EAs to MT5 just to backtest them and/or to find the settings with optimization to get the backtesting results that are closest to reality.
Renting a virtual server right from the MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5
terminals is the optimal way to ensure uninterrupted work of your
trading robots and Signal
subscriptions. Essentially, it is an analogue of a VPS though it is
better and more suitable for addressing needs and challenges that a
trader comes across. The server can be rented straight from your
MetaTrader. It takes only a couple mouse clicks for Experts Advisors,
indicators, scripts together with Signal subscriptions and settings to
be transferred to the virtual server. The Virtual Hosting Cloud network
was developed specially for MetaTrader and has all the advantages of a native solution.
Certainly, there are alternatives to virtual hosting but a closer
look reveals that they do not compete. The first thing that comes to
mind is using a home computer as a budget option. It could work, however
a stable internet connection and uninterrupted power supply are not
guaranteed. A VPS can be rented from a suitable provider found on the
internet. That could be feasible but it implies a manual search for a
server having minimum latency with the required Forex-broker's. Such a
puzzle does not suit everyone.
1. You have to use a different VPS for every subscription.
2. You will be able to see the trades in real time if you open your local MT platform.
3. You have to change your setting in advance and synchronize signal again.
4. (I am using MT integrated VPS and I am happy with it, I can't tell for others).
5. You can renew your subscription from your MQL5.com: Signals >> My Subscriptions (on the left) or through your MT platform, down on the terminal window.
6. You can see everything in real time as it happens.

MT4 & MT5 backtest

If you are backtesting EA on MT5 using 'every tick based on real ticks' so it will be almost same with trading on MT5 platform with some particular broker (because it is based on actual historical data).
Example, read this thread: Why is it better MT5 than MT4?? Does it have fewer limitations ??? - this is the quote from the first post of the thread:
We have all seen hundreds of robots that obtained spectacular results in backtesting, but when operating in real account the results were very bad. This is mainly because they were made with conditions that had nothing to do with real market conditions.
