Slawa:

When migrating (even if repeated) the hosting terminal folder is created anew each time, i.e. no previous files are saved

Thanks for the detailed answer.

Hi,

 

I think this is a great feature but why is it so difficult to see what's happening on the virtual host?

 

Why isn't there a terminal like a normal VPS where we can verify that the EA is actually running on the account?

In jurnal you can see this message repeatedly:

Status is 'Started'

When was it finished?

Can you tell me, here I am going on holiday, with open positions can I transfer to virtual hosting?

Virtual hosting, built into the terminal, is practically an ordinary terminal for Windows. Therefore, the most important thing is what kind of programme (Expert Advisor) you will transfer (migrate) to virtual hosting. If this Expert Advisor processes open positions correctly, then you can safely transfer it.

In this case, you will be able to look at trading from any type of terminal (desktop, smartphone, tablet, Web-terminal).

Can you please tell me if the trailing stop set in MT4 works in virtual hosting?

No. Trailing stops are not transferred to hosting

Slawa:
No. Traylings are not migrated to hosting

Thank you.

Good day, terminal migration made three Expert Advisors on the charts, one of them made one positive trade, but this Expert Advisor https://yadi.sk/d/gaoBk7dFtu4hw has this message on the host:

2016.08.03 17:03:22.059 Generic A-TLP v.11.7_ENG GBPCAD,M15: fRectLabelCreate: failed to create rectangular label! Error #: 4200 - Object already exists
2016.08.03 17:03:22.059 Generic A-TLP v.11.7_ENG GBPCAD,M15: initialised

What does it mean and will the Expert Advisor trade? The Expert Advisor itself and its settings are given above in the link, I would be grateful if you could tell me how to deal with this error.

The error message is unambiguous - a bug in the code you are using. Virtual hosting has nothing to do with it. And the error itself says that before creating an object, you should first check: what if an object with the same name already exists?
