Having issues running same EA on two accounts in MT5
osterchrisi: I have created an EA that I am doing some forward testing on. I have two sets of settings, let's call them 'A' and 'B'. I have on live account with the EA and settings 'A' running. Now when I login to my second = demo account and I put the same EA on the chart with settings 'B' it also changes the settings of the EA on my live account to settings 'B'. Even, when I put an entirely different EA on any chart in any of the two accounts, it will copy that EA (and its settings) to the other account. What am I doing wrong? For sure there is a way to do this?
You have to have to separate installations of MT5 for each account, or use VPS for each. You can't have an EA running on a single MT5 terminal for both accounts. As soon as you switch accounts, then the EA will also switch over.Oh god, what a terrible implementation haha. But thank you for the quick answer, I appreciate it!
