Hello,
I'm trialling the VPS for an MT4 EA. I have the following issues:
1) Even though I stopped the server, the trial period of 1440 min has expired on a Saturday when no markets are open!
2) I read in the description of the VPS "Open only the charts that you really need. Although there are no limitations on the number of open charts, there is no point in opening unnecessary ones. Color settings do not matter."
I have 20 charts on which I have launched the EA in a kind of dashboard view (see screenshot below). The synchronisation log however, set a message that only max 16 charts are migrated. Obviously there is no way to "see" the VPS to verify. Can someone explain this contradiction?
3) I control the activation of the EA manually depending upon my analysis of markets by pressing the "Auto" button to the top left of each chart individually. Can someone confirm whether during migration, the state of the "Auto" button is also migrated?
Thanks
Narayan

1. MQL5 VPS subscriptions, including the free trial minutes doesn't stop counting time when you pausing/stopping the server. This option is only available for pausing your migrated environments, EAs or Signals.
2. I didn't know that, but if you got that message saying that up to 16 charts can be migrated, that must be the case.
3. If this Auto button enables and disables that Auto Trading for your EA on that particular chart, then yes this status is migrated along with all your other settings.

A few more questions
4) My custom indicator which is used by the EA to place orders also writes a number of algorithm parameters to a file that gets saved in \\MQL\\Files folder. How could I retrieve these files?
5) I think I also read in a previous comment that one VPS is linked to a particular account. So, if I wanted to run a 2nd EA on a different timeframe on a different account, in a 2nd instance of MT4, I guess it would require another VPS subscription. Am I right?
6) However, if I wanted to run the 2nd EA on a different timeframe, but on the same account, how would that work?

Narayan

4. I don't know, ask the author/seller.
5. Yes.
6. You simply attach your 1st, 2nd, 3rd and so on EA on a different timeframe chart locally in your MT4/5 terminal and you migrate you MQL5 VPS all together.

Thanks Eleni,
4. I developed the Indicator myself and when running MT4 locally, I can simply navigate to MQL4\Files and retrieve the file written. My question is: since the indicator is running on the VPS, where does it write the file?
6. Will all the EAs and charts have to be on the single instance of MT4? Or can I have the 2nd strategy on a 2nd instance of MT4 logged in to the same account and migrated to the VPS?
