Discussion of article "Why Virtual Hosting On The MetaTrader 4 And MetaTrader 5 Is Better Than Usual VPS" - page 44

 
Aesthete:
Thanks Vladimir. It is possible theoretically, or practically )) So the function has already been launched for MT5 (not only MT4) I have an account in Otkritie, if I press the "fairy tale buttons" now, I will get into the fairy tale, and everything will be analogue to vps, and I can control robots even on my tablet, and I can trade in the bus and on the street, and I can forget about my home PC? Does Otkritie broker also support this function? Have I got it right?

What do you mean by "... control ..."? I noted above, inbuilt shared hosting has no visual interface. In other words you have to synchronise your EAs - i.e. send them to the shared hosting. After that, the Expert Advisors work independently on the built-in shared hosting. Of course, you can manage your trading account (buy, sell or pending orders) and see the trading progress from any device connected to your trading account.

Synchronisation is possible only with Windows x64 MetaTrader terminal. Windows x32 does not allow synchronisation. You can stop hosting or delete from Windows terminal or from your mql5 profile.

Access to virtual terminal logs - only from Windows Terminal: Working with virtual platform

 

And why might that be?

I logged into the platform this morning and my dedicated server is missing.

and the funds are frozen.

That's it, Service Desk fixed it.
 

I don't understand how to synchronise in this case: a signals module is written on the basis of a custom indicator. The Expert Advisor generated by the MQL5 wizard uses this signal module.

Question: how should I synchronise to avoid getting such an error in virtual hosting embedded in the terminal:

2016.04.29 12:11:15.296 NOC_HL_D1 (GBPNZD.m,H2) custom indicator 'MyInd\MyIndicator\MyIndicator.ex5' cannot load [4802]

Question: how to synchronise in order not to get such an error in virtual hosting embedded in the terminal:

The custom indicator can be explicitly prescribed, as in testing, using #property tester_indicator

Then it can be passed to the hosting in the same way as to the tester agent.

The same goes for files. If you want to transfer a file to hosting, you should write #property tester_file

The signals module is created on the basis of the indicator. An Expert Advisor is created on the signals module. How should I synchronise in this case?

Is there a similar solution if file names are generated dynamically during EA initialisation and there is no way to know the names/number of files at compile time?

Is it possible to pass a folder with files without specifying specific files in it?

Can the Expert Advisor create files on virtual hosting?

You can only specify a specific file name.

You cannot transfer a folder with files.

The Expert Advisor can create files on shared hosting.
