VPS

Hello,

I am trying to find out why the VPS does not run without connection. Isn't it suppose to run 24hrs a day even if you turn off your Wi-Fi or close your computer?

Well, I don't know what the issue is, but when I turn off my internet and computer it stop trading. As long as I am hooked up to mine and leave my computer on it works fine.

Seems, you did not synchronize your MT4 with MQL5 VPS.
So, read post #4 with the procedure about how to subscribe to MQL5 VPS (in case you missed something).

VPS not working

If you are talking about MQL5 VPS, read on:

When you use MQL5 VPS you do not need to keep your computer on.

You must synchronize properly your EAs and/or indicators in order to work on the virtual server.

Your MQL5 VPS's journal log will begin recording after your first synchronization.

In order to synchronize an Expert Advisor with your MQL5 VPS server, you need to attach your EA on a chart, click the Auto Trading button and then right click on your VPS server >> Synchronize experts, indicators.

After the synchronization you check the VPS (right click) >> Journals, that you are getting the following message: 1 (or whatever) chart, 1 (or whatever) EA, 0 (or whatever) custom indicators, signal disabled.

After the synchronization with your MQL5 VPS you DO NOT keep the Auto Trading button ON.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WARNING: After you finished with the synchronization of the signal subscription to the MQL5 VPS, you don’t need to tick the: Enable realtime signal subscription, option again in your local computer’s MT4/5 platform, because that way you will copy the signal twice and this is extremely dangerous !!!
