I receive notifications when I hit TEST on VPS MT5 terminal, but not EA-generated ones.

I recently installed a copy of Metatrader 5 on a AWS VPS to run a signals-generating EA.  This EA was tested on my local PC, and it works fine.  On the VPS however, I get no notifications.  But when I hit the TEST button on options - notifications on the VPS copy, I immediately get a notification, so I assume that the VPS is not the problem either.  Can anyone give me some pointers?
 
Lucho Duclias:

  • Go to the Experts tab in the MT5 Terminal and check for related errors.
  • Even if the test works, the EA might be blocked. Check that "Allow algorithmic trading" is enabled.
  • Create a test EA with only SendNotification("Test from EA"); to rule out problems in the original code.

Got it working. Thanks
