Copying issue
Hello ,
I have subscribed for a signal and when the trader open trade , on my platform there are 2 open trades, the second one is extra and the trader does'n have it in his/her account . After some time , the second order ( which is extra )has closed by itself ( sometimes in profit and sometimes in lose ) Would you tell me how to fix this issue ?
Thank you
You have your local terminal open along with the VPS, so the signal is copied 2 times.
When you use a VPS, you don't need to keep your MT terminal open and tick the: Enable realtime signal subscription, because you will copy everything twice.
1.If I don't use VPS , but keep my terminal open and tick '' Enable realtime signal subscription '' will the copying works ?
2.If I use VPS I still have to keep my PC open and have internet connection , is that correct ?

2. Not, you do not need to keep your Metatrader open and have internet connection.
Because MQL5 VPS for MT4?MT5 is the copy of your Metatrader in cloud so you can swtich your computer off in case you have VPS.
So , I have to :
1. Register VPS from MGL5
2. UNTICK '' Enable realtime subscription '' option
3. I can switch off the PC
...and the copying will worlk properly ?
There are some steps about what to do (you can check with yours about what you did for example)

Below are step by step instructions, of how to subscribe to a MΤ4 signal:

4. You will see lower, in the Terminal Window of your MT4 platform, the results of your search. Click on the name of the signal you want to subscribe.

1. Yes, after synchronization with VPS.
Because if you do everything in your computer's Metatrader so it will be passed to VPS' Metatrader which will be copy of yours after synchtronization (yes, there is your Metatrader, and there is copy of your Metatrader in VPS's cloud, and synchromization process is the process to get this copy ...).
And if you keep your Metatrader to be open (to get the signal) with working VPS (it means - two same Metatrader instances connected with same account are working at the same time) - you will get twice/double orders on your account (in case if your VPS and your computer's Metatrader are on same broker's account to be login and working).
2. Do not understand sorry ....
It is related to synchronization with VPS ... once you made a sychnorimization (you passed your settings/EAs/signal's settings etc to VPS's Metatrader) so ... you can untick ...
But I am not sure sorry (some other people will correct me if I am wrong).
3. Yes, it will work. But it may be disconnection because of internet disconnection, it may be delay because the signal of from signal provider is going from the US, and your home PC is in Asia for example ... and you both are using home wifi ....? and more.
In case of VPS - you both (signal provider and your VPS's Metatrader) are on same location (which is nothing with your internet and with your personal location), and you can check ping for example, means - good for scalping, and more.

if I am wrong so sorry ) - the other users will correct me.

Check the latency values of various Servers available for your Broker -

Program to check latency between VPS and broker's server
Fernando Carreiro, 2017.10.24 12:06
Just left-click on the Connection Status icon in the bottom right of MetaTrader and you will see a pop-up context menu showing you the latency values of various Servers available for your Broker. Then you can select the fastest one to your liking. You can also re-scan as values may fluctuate.
