Ghost Trade.....!

 

Hello All,

I have an extremely weird and frustrating problem....This problem only started recently so perhaps it's something to do with the VPS or the new MT4 platform(?)

I run an EA on a VPS. A week or two ago everything was fine....

But recently when a trade is opened by my EA, a secondary ghost trade gets opened from....somewhere!

This ghost trade does not apply the SL and TP, does not print a Comment like my EA, and does not show up in the Journal or Experts Tabs...!

Just now I removed the EA from the chart and the ghost trade still got opened....!?

If anyone has ANY idea on wth is going on, I would be extremely grateful.....*

Regards

ML*

It may be Metatrader on VPS was opened the trade, and your home Metatrader was opened the trade.
Because if you are talking about MQL5 VPS so this MQL5 VPS is "Metatrader in cloud" (and it has nothing to do with your home Metatrader).
You can check about where the trade is coming from:

  • bug in your EA;
  • EA is working on VPS but you are still having your home Metatrader opened and working;
  • more...

Thankyou for reply....

It is not MQL5 VPS.
My home MT4 is closed and does not have the EA on it.
EA was working fine 10 days ago....

Update: Seems my broker hadn't deleted their old VPS platform so my EA was still running in there even though I couldn't log in!

So I called them, got them to let me access the old VPS system and deactivated the EA and deleted all the files.

So this was the issue and has been resolved now*
