Can VPS location selection save me from this?

No, it doesn't, I just checked it. RoboForex.Pro servers.

Autoselect - United States,

No tick history.

Manually selected server Netherlands -

Tick history is there.

VPS server address United States

 

Google AI advised to set the IP of a reliable Access Server in the Server field when opening an account in Metatrader5.

And he sent an instruction on how to determine this IP.
Just in case I am giving it below.
Maybe it will help someone.

Step-by-step instructions

Connect to the required Access server.

In the MT5 terminal, click on the communication indicator in the bottom right corner and select Access server UK.

Check that the connection is established (the indicator turns green/blue).

Open the command line (CMD): Press Win + R on your keyboard, type cmd and press Enter.

Type the command to search for connections

In the black console window, type the following command and press Enter:

netstat -n -b

(Or just netstat -n if the first command requires administrator privileges).

Locate the terminal process

In the list that appears, look for the line where metatrader5.exe or terminal64.exe is listed in the "Executable File" column.

Look at the "Foreign Address" column.

You need an address that ends with port :443 (the standard MT5 port for communication with the server).

Example: If you see 193.218.144.55:443, then 193.218.144.55 is the correct IP address.

Commit the address in MT5

Go back to the terminal: File -> Connect to trading account.

In the Server field delete the old name and insert the obtained IP address.

Click OK. Now the terminal will try to connect directly to this address,

without automatically searching for access points. [1, 2, 3, 4]


To understand which address belongs to MetaTrader 5,

when there is no process name in the list, we need to match the open connections with the programme ID.

Here's how to do it:

Step 1: Find out the process ID (PID)

1. Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc).

2. Click the Details tab.

3. Find terminal64.exe in the list (this is MetaTrader 5).

4. Look for a number in the Process ID (PID) column. For example, let it be 2672


Step 2: Find the IP through the command line

Now go back to the command prompt where you entered netstat, but use the extended command:

netstat -ano | findstr 2672

Result:

TCP 192.168.1.102.102:57196 23.106.59.251:443 ESTABLISHED 2672


23.106.59.251 IP Access server UK

And at the same time I solved one more problem in this way - on the Pro server of RoboForex broker the tick history of gold disappeared a few weeks ago. Technical support is frosty, it is not clear what is going on at all. On ECN servers there is history (but of worse quality and smaller volume). Now I re-pinged another server and it turned out that there are previous ticks on it too.... But it is a fortune-telling ball you need to have and be a hereditary fortune-teller of 100 level, so that a random user could solve such a problem. No one ran out to help, all the sheriffs don't give a damn about the Indians' problems


A familiar situation. When tick history vanishes and support goes silent, it turns trading into guesswork. Glad you found another server, but relying on luck is no way to work.

I finally managed to block this unfortunate Access server Fin.

I attach the instructions.

Now the problem is solved and no connection lost !!!

Attached are the instructions.

The netstat -bn command under administrator will show the process names

...

2 connections are ESTABLISHED, the first one is Access Point.

It is possible to block on the firewall outgoing to the addresses of "bad" servers, so that they are never selected. If possible - with reject, not with drop.

I don't know on vindex, but on linux it's easy.

Thanks for the tip.
I solved the problem of bad Access server Fin on Forex4you for Windows.

The solution is attached.
