Do I need to have my computer mode on to receive trades in my account from a signal Proivder??

[El yul]

Hello.. I have got a signal provider.... but the date of opened trades are not the same with my trades... I see the execution of trades just when I see my computer running MT4.... In my phone I dont see when the signal provider enters...

Do you know how to really get synchronization?

I have tried from MT4 >> Tools >> options >> signals >> and checked all , (http://prntscr.com/iwu3q8) but I dont know what other things to do.

Thanks for your help

What happens to EA if I shut computer down!

Kiran Kumar Balloru Madhava, 2017.11.30 04:45

It is advisable to run the EAs in VPS. Cost of VPS starts with around $10 a month.  If you are running the EA in your computer and if you shut down the computer, EA will stop working. No new trades will be placed. Exisiting positions will close if stop loss or profit limits are kept. Hope this info helps. forexveda

Use Signals with phone

Eleni Anna Branou, 2018.03.26 21:32

You can only copy a signal with your computer, not your phone.

A VPS is a must if you want to avoid power and internet problems.
