Discussion of article "Why Virtual Hosting On The MetaTrader 4 And MetaTrader 5 Is Better Than Usual VPS" - page 29

 
Veronika Chursina:
And how to take into account? That's exactly what the question was, is it possible if the Expert Advisor needs adjustment (it takes me 2 hours in my web terminal) to adjust. And how can I see how it initialises?
Run an Expert Advisor and periodically request its logs.
 
Please explain one point. Let's assume that the ping from my terminal to the broker is 70 ms, while the ping from the virtual hosting to the same broker is 3 ms. If I trade manually on my terminal (using the same account as on the hosting), will the buy/sell signal go through the virtual hosting or directly to the broker, i.e. by clicking buy or sell on the terminal, will the virtual hosting be involved to reduce the ping?

Virtual hosting works on its own with the trading servers, your terminal works on its own. Each terminal sends trade orders to the server independently of each other. That's why we advise you to switch off auto-trading on your terminal, if you have another terminal running on VPS. And that is why when migrating to virtual hosting, copying of signals (if subscription is included in the migration) and autotrading (if experts are sent to the virtual server) are switched off in your terminal.
 
I am using MT5 with a certificate. How do I transfer the certificate to a dedicated server?

We need parameters of virtualisation overload (what it does not like), how much virtual memory is allocated and so on and so forth, from what to start. It is necessary to have a state notification (if possible), for example, the Expert Advisor was working, stopped, does not open more deals, does not close them. Not knowing what is happening with the Expert Advisor can lead to consequences. I realise that there is a log, logs, but it is difficult to constantly look there if everything is normal. For example, you have made some changes in the work of virtualisation, terminal (improved it), but the expert may not like it and will just stand up. Notification is obligatory!

At such moments (stopping of an Expert Advisor or Expert Advisors) nothing is written in the "Expert Advisor errors" log.

 

Tell me, is this consumption of disc space normal (is it acceptable)?

I have 9 charts open and each chart has an Expert Advisor (eight charts have version #1 and one chart has version #2), only charts and indicators are synchronised, without signals. The charts are empty, without indicators and graphical objects. Nothing from the Expert Advisor is printed in the "Experts" tab. I am especially interested in what was the increase in consumption over 60Mb at night? I managed to reset to 30MB only by morning synchronisation.

 

And here's tonight:

The disc consumption is even higher. I won't do a morning forced sync on purpose this morning. I'll see what happens with the disc space consumption tonight.

 

Again, after an evening sync, the disc consumption is 27 MB, and somewhere around midnight or a little earlier inexplicably already 82 MB is consumed.

All terminal data, including chart history, is counted. Fluctuations of a couple of tens of megabytes are absolutely normal.

In addition, the virtual terminal has its own rubbish collection mode, which is radically different from the operation of a regular terminal.

 
I have a broker "BKS" MT5 with a certificate. FORTS market. How is the certificate transferred to a dedicated server?
