thanks mate :)

You're welcome. Just know that I don't use a VPS and I only dabble with Python. I do, however, use my law degree to help others research and interpret terms and conditions... and a Python API just seems like another WebRequest to me.

oh!! so you aren't a programmer :D then you cannot run python on mql5 vps anyway ha-ha

but wait a minute!! who dont use vps? 
how you manage your EAs?

[O]h!! so you aren't a programmer...

That depends on the definition of the word, programmer. I've coded MQL4 and then MQL5 for several decades but I don't hold myself out as full stack developer. There was a big time gap between writing syntax on an Apple IIe as a kid and writing MQL4 code as an adult. Yes, I'm that old.😂  FYI, there are plenty of resources on mql5.com and elsewhere regarding integration of Python with MT5. With some reading, almost anyone can do it.

I have a gaming tower pc that is dedicated to trading─more specifically, EA trading in Desktop MT5. I'm set up next to my local ISP hub with a 1000 Mbps Ethernet connection. I use my Disconnect Alerts indicator and an internet service alarm with Mobile MT5 as a remote backup in case of an emergency. I follow the KISS principle and Murphy's Law, so I have little to no problems. I also have 2 laptops for other stuff.
