Discussion of article "How to Prepare a Trading Account for Migration to Virtual Hosting" - page 15

Why don't they automatically switch to another server?

[Veronika Chursina]

I decided to try to test it - I connected it and migrated it.... The signal was switched off in the regular terminal - respectively, it was apparently switched on in the virtual terminal. I don't understand, please explain where and how I can track how the signal is copied, what trades are opened and closed on it, and what load it gives on the depo.

I have today for some reason not a single message in the main log, usually the server made records every hour. Synchronised, switched off, switched on MT4 - no entries. Is this normal?

The server is finally switched on... Request to developers: Automatic connection to another server, if one is switched off, if it is possible, of course.

Read the article "Preparing a trading account for migration to virtual hosting" (https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/994), check if you have done everything correctly. Further, in this article there is a subsection "How migration happens", it describes in detail where in your MT4 to see the log with information about everything you are asking. Pay more attention to the load, of course, the log shows what percentage of load, but it is better to start from small to larger, then you will not make a mistake, because, for example, I did not manage to reach the desired result of load using the formulas at once.

Thank you, I read everything, but with a humanitarian mind it is difficult to understand.

Question to those who know - if after migration there is no record in the main journal, although in the "details" tab the status is "running" - what does it mean? So the environment was synchronised or not?

When you opened the journal, did you press the "query" button? (in the upper right corner).

When trying to synchronise it gives

2014.12.31 14:15:47.946 Virtual Hosting: 4805 failed to connect to server 'United Kingdom' (199.59.206.34:443 failed)

And so on any server.

How to understand what is the problem?

When you opened the logbook, did you press the "enquiry" button? ( top right corner)

Yes, I did, it was blank.

Hello,

Account alpari ecn

Good profit signal

Allocated a virtual server - subscription for a month UK 5111 c 7 Jan

On the same day migrated everything according to the instructions.

For some reason this position was not copied on the server:

2015.01.08 16:56

Sell

EURUSD

1.17963

1.17650

2015.01.09 15:44

and this one

2015.01.09 17:12

Sell

1.04

EURUSD

1.18123

1.17756

1.18400

-288.08

when I noticed this in MT4 (around 20:15 Moscow time)

In the settings I ticked Allow subscription to signals (Service > Settings > Signals).

Immediately the deal was copied.

Can you please explain what is the reason for signals not being copied to my account? I allocated the server specifically to go on holiday and not to keep the terminals open, where there may be internet outages.

Here is the log of the virtual server log:
