How do I know my VPS is running and executing trades

 

Hello,

I am using a MQL5 VPS to run my Expert Advisor. Every time I shut down my laptop I get the below messages in the journal. (see screenshot) It appears the VPS gets disconnected from the terminal.

Is this normal? Is my VPS still running?

And sSInce I have started the VPS I am unable to see any new trades in the History tab. I am not sure the VPS is executing any trades.

How do I check the VPS is working ?  And where can I see the executed trades on the VPS?

Await your response. Thanks.

The journal you are looking is not your MQL5 VPS journal, but your MT5 terminal journal, don't confuse these 2.

 

Thank you for that, yes I can see the EA is running successfully as per the journal. (See screenshot)

Where do I see the trades executed on the VPS though? Does it show up on the VPS journal as well?

Coz since I have started the VPS I cannot see any new trades.

Thanks,

Urvaksh

Any trades that have been opened would be visible in your desktop terminal's trading history too, we are talking about the same trading account after all.

MQL5 VPS has 2 Journals, the terminal and expert journal, so look in both for any activity.
