Hi. I've subscribed to a signal provider and also to a virtual hosting. However, it seems that signal provider has made some recent trades and my number of trades did not change. It did make some trades initially when I first signed up.
Check the VPS journal by right clicking on it (as Sergey suggested) to check that everything is running smoothly.
If you see any logs saying error or position skipped or couldn't close position, then you should check your signal settings (Tools >> Options >> Signals) and synchronize with your VPS again.
