Virtual Server with IG broker
- EA Problem start() not executing
- problem to Install a EA on IG Metatrader 4
- Not able to find Broker on MT4 Terminal
I can't make my virtual server work with my IG account (it's a UK spread betting account). When I migrate an EA with a demo account using a different broker, all is fine, but when I try exactly the same operation except with my live IG account, trades don't open. Anyone else had this problem? And can anyone suggest a solution?
Move your MQL5 VPS to a different server and migrate again.

Are you sure that your EA works on real accounts?
Maybe its a demo only version.
Yes, completely sure. I've used them on live accounts a lot - I can't understand it at all - the only error message I've had for the Experts section of the virtual server logs is this:
2022.04.25 00:29:50.006 Adams Exceed EA_v3.1 (no close) GER30(£),Daily: unknown symbol name GER30(?) for OrderSend function

It seems that your EA is trying to trade on a symbol not available in your broker or account.

Yes that's right - which surely would mean it wouldn't work locally on my laptop, but it does. The only thing that prevents it working is when I migrate it to the virtual hosting. I'm completely stuck. I've spoken to the IG technical team who have said they're going to look into it but I haven't heard anything yet. V frustrating!
