Good afternoon!

Could you please advise me? How do I synchronise volumes with the signal provider so that I have the same volume opened as he has, and not reduced because of a smaller deposit?????

I would be very grateful.

I will be much obliged.

  1. FAQ on the Signals service.
  2. Help in the terminal: Trading signals and copying trades.
 

Deleted by me.

 
Karputov Vladimir:

So you asked: "Can I selectively copy trades when subscribing to a signal - today I want to copy them, but in a few hours I don't want to"?

Answer: No. You can't do that. You can:

  • switch off your local terminal (switch off hosting) - in this case signals will not be copied to the switched off terminal

Do you mean that if you switch off the terminal authorised in MQL5 and allowed to receive signals in the settings, you can not receive signals without terminating your subscription? At the same time, switching on another terminal with the same account without authorisation in MQL5, you can trade manually without worrying about crossing trades from the signals service? Right?

And now, please, describe your thriller in more detail: describe what exactly you did after subscription, did you migrate to virtual hosting?

There is no thriller - I find out everything in advance. Just saw a question close to my task.

Planning to: 1) on my existing VPS to subscribe to the signal from MT4 terminal.

2) on Mondays and Fridays (for example) to close (switch off) this terminal on VPS.

3) on Mondays and Fridays trade on the same account from another terminal not authorised (not connected at all) in the MQL5 service.

Risks of deposit overload are a separate issue. I am interested in technical risks: erroneous synchronisations, synchronisation failures, which I cannot foresee yet.

I haven't even looked into virtual hosting yet, is it necessary?

If you use a third-party VPS - I can not help. I have no experience in using third-party VPS. I use only built-in virtual hosting in the terminal.

What are you talking about? "Third-party VPS" is the same as a regular computer constantly switched on. Is it possible to receive signals on the terminal running on a constantly switched on computer (home computer, for example) without using virtual hosting?
 
Valeriy Brusilovskyy:
...Is it possible to receive signals on a terminal running on a permanently switched on computer (home computer, for example), without using virtual hosting?
Yes. Of course you can. For non-stop reception of signals from the subscription you need either a constantly switched on home PC or built-in virtual hosting.
 
Karputov Vladimir:
Yes. Of course you can. You need either a always-on home PC or in-built shared hosting to get non-stop signals from your subscription.

Great. In the case of a constantly switched on home PC, to stop receiving signals, it is enough to close (disable) the MT4 terminal authorised in the MQL5 service?

Afterwards, when switching on the MT4 terminal authorised in the MQL5 service and restoring the signals, what are the technical risks: erroneous synchronisation (I made a mistake), synchronisation failures (peculiarities of the service), other technical risks?
