I agree RIGHTEOUS7, in my experience this is by far the most unreliable VPS service available. I have been having EA running for 4 days on this MQL5 Virtual hosting, then it suddenly stopped taking trades without me changing anything. I have re-synced twice each day for the past week, yet my EA that's a high frequency trading robot is now not taking trades unless I select autotrading on my local desktop terminal, then it opens trades immediately and resumes management of my open trades. Also, my friend has run exactly the same robot and we are getting entirely different results. He too having problems with the EA not functioning properly with this VPS. This experience has cost me a lot more in losses to try and fix this issue and MQL5 support stinks.
I have double checked, all DLL imports are disabled on indicators and EAs for all my charts as requested by MQL5. I have attempted several times to contact MQL5 support by email via their online web contact form, and received website errors after form submission. I finally managed to send email successfully a few days ago and have still not received a reply from support. This is unacceptable.
I am changing all my services to another VPS provider and requesting a refund from MQL5 for my 3 servers I ordered and paid 6 months advance. To anyone reading this, I recommend you google forex vps and use a proper VPS provider with proper support, where you can see your virtual terminal properly and aren't limited to one terminal per VPS. I seen many other good services for around $7 per month with up to 5 terminals on one server, way better value and reliable.
Hello! I am strongly concerned about the following questions:
- if the Expert Advisor trades according to indicators, is it necessary to install them (these indicators) on the chart of the currency pair on which the Expert Advisor is installed?
- what does the error "USD/CHF,M15: tick processing" mean;
- what time on the terminal of the virtual hosting by GMT, or by MSK, often writes an error:
"2016.11.22 23:01:32.245 '1660791': order #142784843 sell 0.25 AUDCAD closing at 0.9953 failed [Market is closed]"
I still doubt with this, I already test EA with logic call to another time frame to modify sell stop/buystop,it doesn't work
example
if ( (( HighzigzagM1 > 0 ) && ( LowzigzagM1 > 0)) && ((HighzigzagH4 > 0 ) && ( LowzigzagH4 > 0)) )
{
modify sellstop
}
if ( (( HighzigzagM1 < 0 ) && ( LowzigzagM1 < 0)) && ((HighzigzagH4 < 0 ) && ( LowzigzagH4 < 0)) )
{
modify buy stop
}
Not working, maybe because it call to another time frame

Hello!
I just tried to connect to a virtual server in mt4. But when I click on "file" I don't see this option!
Alpari consultant says - yes, that's right, Alpari doesn't offer this option.
Can anyone tell me if there are any options?

In MT4, enter your mql5 login and password
I am, I think, one of the first users who tested hosting and made a paid subscription to it.
But, I am also a user of regular VPS.
My personal opinion:
Advantages of hosting-
1, Convenient for experimentation. Wrote an Expert Advisor, - - - and in three clicks synchronised with the hosting, looked at the results, thought, corrected - synchronised again. In the case of VPS, the file must be transferred manually. But in normal use (thrown and forgotten) it makes little difference.
2, Hosting settings do not require, but VPS must be configured for normal operation.But it is done quickly. The information is enough in free access. once done - and that's it.
3. Ping. Yes, it is convenient and quick to look in the hosting. On VPS you can find solutions no worse, but it's complicated. And in general, these minuscule differences in network latency are of little importance for the absolute majority of MT users. A trader, who tests his strategy roughly by bars and uses orders, will not even feel a 10-second ping on the result. MT is not an HFT-platform. Its ideology is "ticks are nothing, seconds are dust". About signal users - yes, ping matters. In forex - it is unlikely to be felt in any way because of the kitchen-like and decentralised nature. But on the stock exchange - you need to be able to play the signal before others to get the best price.
Disadvantages.
1. No feedback (you can't collect tick history, etc.). VPS - no problems.
2. One terminal - one hosting - this is the most serious disadvantage. On one VPS you can pack many MT-terminals, and not only MT-terminals - all in one place - simple and convenient.
3. Hosting - don't know what resources you can count on. It all depends on the behaviour of your "neighbours" . VPS - everything is more or less clear and precise - like behind a stone wall. RE-resources are enough, I think. This is so, a minor flaw.
4. Price. Based on the competitive prices for VPS and taking into account the limited capabilities of internal hosting, IMHO, a fair price for it - 3-4 $ per month. At this price, I think, Metacvots revenue for hosting will be maximum. I am not familiar with the costs.
Conclusion.-For a beginner who recently got acquainted with the computer, internal hosting - the ideal option.
I'm using my experts limited to hours. I've just purchased virtual server. I'm using my time zone settings example 19:00:00 now. So I set my expert work 1-9 and 18-22 in my time zone hours .
question is : are my experts hours going to work automatically or should I re-set hours by server location ( new york eg.) ??
it is so important for me , please help.
I would like to ask if become a signal provider can you provide signals with systems that are in Virtual Hosting?
Or you have to let the terminal open for traders to be copied?
