Hi, 1) is the free trial limited to 16 charts, because i have 17 charts with an EA and only 16 are uploaded?

2) all my charts are in H2 timeframe. Is it considered a standard timeframe? Will my EAs work on H2?

1. Yes, the free minutes are limited to 16 charts, the paid subscriptions to 32.

2. They will work alirght.

Is it normal that the CPU is always at 0% even when a new candle open and the 16 EAs are chekcking for a potential trade? I am concerned that the EAs are not opening trades.

The local terminal is migrated to an MQ-VPS. In the terminal, as there, the symbols offered by the broker can be traded, as well as indices and softs in such a case.
 
If I have more than one account no, do I have to pay once for each account?

Yes, each MQL5 VPS subscription is bound to 1 trading account only.

 

Does your chart also migrate to the VPS.

I mean, can you  close the chart(with attached EA) after migration?

Do you still need the chart to be open?

 
I bought a VPS subscription for one account. But I want to change the account to a VPS. Broker, server and my data are the same - only the account is different. How to do it?

Hi,

My VPS that's been running for about a month now is no longer starting up.

What I can see in the Journal locally is that around 30 second after the "start command" there's a "status is 'stopped'" being written.

I've tried starting the VPS in as many ways I could to no avail: right-click in Navigator, VPS tab in the chart window, https://www.mql5.com/en/vps/subscriptions

It has started acting up earlier today and has already missed a precious signal. How I can get assistance with this?

At a few points throughout the day, it looked like the VPS could come back up but then after a while it started no longer reacting to the start commands.

This is the last meaningful messages in the Journal:
