Thank you Sergey. It helped me. 

 

does selecting STOP pause the VPS, ie no trades executed?

Yes, stop means pause.

 
thanks for the reply
 

Hi all,

If I migrate MT4 with EA's to MQL's VPS, and then close the terminal that was used to do the migration

if at a later time I then reopen the terminal on my local pc and the charts with EA's attached are open

does this mean the trades will duplicate in my account, one at my local pc and one at the VPS server?


if yes, is changing profiles or unticking "allow auto trading" on the local pc the work-around?


thanks for your advice.

It is wise to check, but if your VPS is running autotrade should remain disabled.

solved...click "synch" with VPS and MT4 auto switches the EA on my pc off....trades cant be duplicated

That's true, but as you were advised above by Andrew, you shouldn't click the Auto Trading button again (as long as you are synchronized with MQL5 VPS), because you will end up with duplicate trades.
