How can I switch the virtual hosting signals (VPS) from one live account to another live account for the MetaTrader 4 software without deleting my data subscription?
You can move your MQL5 VPS subscription to another trading account, once a week, with the 'Change account' option.

Mit der Option „Konto wechseln“ können Sie Ihr MQL5 VPS-Abonnement einmal pro Woche auf ein anderes Handelskonto übertragen.

Hello Eleni,
I do not have these functions available in the MetaTrader 4 trading software.
If you know a solution for MetaTrader 4 and MQL4, please write me the exact instructions for this problem.
Or send me a link specifically for this matter so that I can solve this problem.
Thank you very much for your effort and help.
Kind regards

If you are talking about MQL5 VPS so it is available for MT4 and for MT5 as well.
Go to the link (below) to move your MQL5 subscription from one trading account to an other trading account within your MT4:

Hello,
Thank you for the quick reply, but that hasn't helped me so far.
When I click on the link, I see the following website, which I am sending you as an attachment, and there is no gear icon to be found on this website, nor in the MetaTrader 4 software.
I need different instructions so I can solve this problem.
Thank you very much for your effort and help in advance.
With kind regards

Try the same link without translation and without enlarging your browser window, make sure its at 100%.
https://www.mql5.com/de/vps/subscriptions
Also check whether you have a 'financial operations are limited' red warning message at the top of your profile page:
Probieren Sie denselben Link ohne Übersetzung und ohne Vergrößerung des Browserfensters; Stellen Sie sicher, dass es zu 100 % eingestellt ist.
https://www.mql5.com/de/vps/subscriptions
Überprüfen Sie außerdem, ob oben auf Ihrer Profilseite eine rote Warnmeldung mit dem Hinweis „Finanztransaktionen sind eingeschränkt“ angezeigt wird:
Hello,
Thank you for the suggestions, but this problem has not been solved.
And at the top of your profile page, there is no red warning message indicating "Financial transactions are restricted" .
I think that perhaps downloading MetaTrader 5 would be a solution, where the functions can then be read using the gear icon.
If you have a download link for MetaTrader 5 that won't contain any malware, I would be grateful.
if you send me this link.
Then I will register my accounts there and then try to switch to a different account with my VPS data subscription in that way.
Thank you in advance for your effort and help.
Best regards

Stop writing in German in this part of the forum!
You can't move your MQL5 VPS subscription to another trading account from the MetaTrader platform, its only possible through the subscriptions link I've attached.
If you don't have the gear icon in your MQL5 VPS subscription, then something is wong with your specific MQL5 account, contact the Service Desk and ask them to fix it.
Answer the bot questions in a logical manner.
there is no gear icon to be found on this website
It may be the reason:

can not change my account on mql vps

the gear may not show until you move your mouse near to that area of the screen.
on my desktop that gear is there, but on my laptop, it only shows on screen when my mouse is on that line or almost on that spot.
Also post a screenshot of what you see, when you apply this and you have your mouse on the MQL5 VPS subscription line (as Michael suggested and Sergey pointed out):
Try the same link without translation and without enlarging your browser window, make sure its at 100%.
Posten Sie außerdem einen Screenshot von dem, was Sie sehen, wenn Sie dies anwenden und sich der Mauszeiger über der Zeile mit dem MQL5 VPS-Abonnement befindet (wie Michael vorgeschlagen und Sergey darauf hingewiesen hat):
Probieren Sie denselben Link ohne Übersetzung und ohne Vergrößerung des Browserfensters; Stellen Sie sicher, dass es zu 100 % eingestellt ist.
Hello Eleni and Michael,
Thank you so much for your messages; they were very helpful. The gear icon only appeared when I hovered the mouse cursor over it.
I have now changed the subscription to the new account.
And I have now also managed to delete my previous account, so that the VPS display and evaluation from the original account is no longer shown, without me having accidentally deleted the subscription.
Please let's stay in touch and send me a friend request, as I would like to be in contact with people who can help me and others.
I am also looking for an experienced, professional developer who can develop my trading system well.
I think it will not be easy to develop my trading system into an Expert Advisor (EA) , as my trading system is intended to work with up to 5 indicators and up to 5 timeframes.
The difficulty in developing my trading system is probably that it should work with up to 5 timeframes.
If you already know a good, experienced, professional developer, or if you happen to meet one in the future, I would be delighted and very grateful if you could share their contact details with me.
Thank you very much in advance for your effort and help.
Kind regards

Hello,
How can I switch the virtual hosting signals (VPS) from one live account to another live account for the MetaTrader 4 software without deleting my data subscription?
Since I have a 6-month contract, I do not want to lose the money I have already paid and therefore would like to use the Virtual Hosting (VPS) signals on a different live account for the MetaTrader 4 software.
It would help me if you could send me the contact details of the Virtual Hosting Signals (VPS) provider, such as email or WhatsApp number.
or a link to a contact form or other contact details.
Then I can contact the provider directly and explain my situation so that I can receive precise instructions from the provider or the provider can do this for me.
Otherwise, I would be grateful if someone could describe this process to me in detail or send me a link to it.
Please do not delete this topic and message until I have found a solution to this issue.
Once I have resolved this issue, I will delete this topic and my message myself.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and help.
Otherwise, I wish you all a nice day and a nice weekend.
With kind regards
Ralf Fleischer
