Help: EA does not open the orders at same time on two different MT4 account, same broker.

[Dinh Tuan Tran]

Hello All,

I am running a same EA on two different MT4 accounts, same broker. However, sometimes during the day, the orders are not opened at the same on two accounts. One account opened more orders than other account. 

Please help me how to fix it, I set Slippage is equal to 5.

Thanks

TT

EAs do not run on accounts. They run on a terminal connected to one account. Unless you are running two terminals in two different folders, what you stated makes no sense.

Thanks William, 

You are correct I run EAs on two terminals which are installed in two different folders. In the past,  the EAs open similar orders on both terminals, but now one open earlier orders than other and some opened at same time. 

it should trigger the entries on both terminals at same time, because I use same EA.

You have that issue before?

Thanks

Are these your EAs, do you have the source code to them?

If so, you need to debug what's going on. A starting indication could be given by printing the GetTickCount () from OnTick into the journal to see if it is an issue with the calling times.

Because your issue can be sourced anywhere between the broker server and your terminal, the options are vast to where this is coming from.

If it is a market or bought product, please contact the author/seller of the product to do the troubleshooting.

We cannot help with such products.

Thanks  Dominik,

it is my EAs which is developed from free template. It has no problem before, just recently one terminal opens some orders in the morning (Vietnam time) other not and  when US market opens, all terminals using same EA open the orders simultaneously.
