Different Outcomes from desktop platform and VPS platform

New comment
 

I am getting two different outcomes from the exact same MA settings. In the attached photos you can see that the desktop platform MAs cross at a different place and time than the VPS platform.  They are both the same pair and the same MA setting. Why would the outcomes be different? Also, the EA placed trades based on the crossing of the MAs on the desktop not the VPS, but the VPS was the platform with Autotrade enabled. Very confused.

It could be that the amount of bars in both terminals are different.

Assuming it is the same broker and the same type of account, and that the Indicator parameters and EA parameters are indeed exactly the same, then I can only conclude that you are using either EMAs or SMMAs and that the number of available bars for the chart or number of available bars in the history is not the same between the two setups.

That's obviously not the same MA settings.

EDIT: With the exception noted by Fernando.

Given that the OP's screenshots identify it as MT4 (and not MT5), then it would be as follows ...

Fixed. When I set up VPS I had to re-enter all the chart info. Missed the "type" of MA in the indicator box. One was simple and the other was exponential.

Thanks for your help
