Push notification VPS not working

New comment
 

Been trying to get push notifications from VPS to my smartphone but it doesn't seem to work.
I don't use any EA just want to get notified once price hits certain levels.
It only works when computer is on. I've found topics where people have the same problem but no solutions. 

 

If you are about MQL5 VPS so this VPS is mainly for autotrading and for signals subscription.

And there is some limitations ... for example - you can check this description:

vps not working

VPS is the copy of your Metatrader in the cloud.
To make this copy of your Metatrader in cloud so you need to open chart (or charts) and attach your EA to the chart (or to the charts) to ready to trade.
After that - you make the migration: you are synchronizing your Metatrader with open charts with EA attached to the charts - with the copy of your Metatrader in the cloud.

Once you synchronized (once you sent everything to VPS) so you can close your pc (in you want): your EA will work on VPS (means: your EA will work on the copy of your Metatrader in cloud).

And all those actions (with possibe errors) are written in your VPS log files (you can check it inside your home Metatrader).

---------------

To make it shorter:

  • Your MQL5 VPS = your "2nd Metatrader in cloud". I mean: there is the cloud (somewhere). And there is "your second Metatrader" there ... this "second Metatrader in cloud" is empty ... you will need to provide migration/synchronize.
  • Migration = sending your EAs/indicators/open charts from your home Metatrader to MQL5 VPS (to "your Metatrader in cloud").
  • You can synchronize the settings/open charts/EAs/settings of your EAs/changing the settings of your EA/opened charts - from your home Metatrader with MQL5 VPS (with "your Metatrader in cloud"). You can synchronize many time (as many as you want).
  • Only open chart(s) with attached EA(s) can be migrated (can be synchronized) from your home Metatrader to MQL5 VPS (to "your Metatrader in cloud").
  • Your EA(s) will work on MQL5 VPS (on "your 2nd Metatrader in cloud"), and you can close your home Metatrader, or use your home Metatrader with the other trading account, or any.
  • Autotrading is always On in MQL5 VPS ("your second Metatrader in cloud" is having autotrading to be always ON irrespective of the settings of your home Metatrader).
  • (limitation) Your EA will not work on MQL5 VPS (on "your 2nd Metatrader in cloud") if EA is using dll irrespective off -  you allowed dll or not in your home Metatrader (irrespective of the settings of your home Metatrader). It is necessary to see the code or to be a coder to know: your EA is using/calling dll or not).
  • (limitation) It must be 64-bit client terminal (MT5) to use virtual hosting - means: your home Metatrader 5 should be 64-bit.
    MT4 does not have this limitation (because MT4 is always on 32-bit).

Create an 'empty' EA template using meta-editor and drag it onto the chart . After the that migrate /synchronize and u  are good to go.

Hi Ernest,

I am facing the same problems too. Only used on indicator without an EA. But MQL5 VPS can't seem to push out the notifications. It can only push out when the MT4 terminal in on. 

Can elaborate on the empty EA template? Does it mean a totally blank expert advisor program? Then I would just attach the indicator on the same chart and proceed to synchonise using MQL5 VPS?

Appreciate your advice on this. Would like to leverage on your experience on this problem. 

Thanks!
