Only manually from the terminal or from your mql5.com profile can you STOP:
Thank you. I did not know that you can stop from profile, and therefore from any iron to which the Internet is connected and a browser is installed.
The lack of the possibility of programme control of the Expert Advisor when news is released is a disadvantage of this convenient service. It turns out that news EAs with DLLs cannot be placed on hosting. And also other codes that correct their work when news is released (I think many good EAs do this) will not work on hosting.
Is there any way to control the news without using DLL? But this is already an off-topic question.

Already had a similar issue today. The solution is https://www.mql5.com/ru/forum.
Wow ! And the quad forum has activity today. It says:
"Let the Expert Advisor analyse some external signal and do not try to trade when it appears. The simplest and most reliable signal is placing a limit order far from the market, which has MagicNumber equal to the EA's magic number, and the order comment contains an order to prohibit trading.
What is the problem?"
Only how will it help me to forbid an Expert Advisor to trade on hosting say 30 min before the news release.
Yes, you can work with news via WebReqest.
The second video about hosting says that you can use WebReqest. How complicated is it? Are there any code examples?
Perhaps you will kindly agree to answer in the newly appeared thread "Is there a way to control news without using DLL? https://www.mql5.com/ru/forum/85101

Teach him to look at this order. If it is there - do not trade, if it is not there - then it can.
And on your computer, analyse the news calendar (with DLL) and place the necessary order 30 minutes before the news.

There are examples, search the site.
I won't share the ready code, I haven't rewritten the newsreader yet.

Great. That's what it means "let the Expert Advisor analyse some external signal".
This does not solve the task of full automation of trading with the news on the hosting (you need to keep one more computer switched on), but it gives you a key to controlling the Expert Advisor located on the hosting or on your computer.
In fact, if you need to change some parameter or prohibit/allow trading without restarting the working Expert Advisor (respectively, without losing already performed calculations or collected tick history), an external signal is sent to open the Expert Advisor. An external signal in the form of opening a pending order is sent. The working Expert Advisor sees this signal and acts according to the algorithm laid down for this case.
Thank you.
Can someone clarify for me?
"DLL calls are completely forbidden in the virtual terminal. During the first attempt to call a function from DLL, the launched program is stopped with the critical error."
Does that really mean that no EAs that use a DLL file can be used? Why not figure out a way to allow this since most (all?) commercial EAs and trade copiers use DLL calls.
Hi, this is my first time posting here and I have question about using Metaquotes Virtual Terminal.
As for now, I'm not running any EA's but I want to store my indicator data such as Spread Monitoring Indicator on that chart for reference.
I've been running my PC 24 hours for about a year now to save the data. I want to know can I do the same if I use Virtual Terminal since my PC got problem sometimes.
I want all the spread bars available whenever I opened my MT4
Attached the picture of the spread indicator on my chart.
