Virtual Hosting

New comment
 

Hello,


Im just testing Virtual Hosting.

Two Questions:

1. When everything is Migrated I can turn off my Computer and everything is still running?

2. See below:

I did Synchronize Experts, Indicators and Signals by right click on my server.


In the Log theres an error.

"You cannot migrate more than 16 charts"


I need all my charts and experts on the server. How to fix this issue?

1. Yes. But you can confirm sucessful synchronization/migration with the VPS journal/logs.

2. It is from the rules -https://www.mql5.com/en/vps/rules#part_III

During the synchronization, the client terminal's active environment migrates to the rented Virtual terminal. The client terminal's active environment includes:
  • active symbol charts Expert Advisors are launched on. Up to 32 charts are allowed to be migrated for a fee-based hosting, while for a free hosting the maximum number of migrated charts is 16,
  • built-in and custom indicators launched on the charts an Expert Advisor is launched on,
  • custom Expert Advisors launched on charts (up to 32 ones on a fee-based hosting and up to 16 ones on a free one),
  • the terminal settings set in FTP, Email, Signals, Notifications tabs as well as WebRequest permissions from Expert Advisors settings.
If more than 32 charts with launched Expert Advisors are active on a fee-based hosting account (more than 16 charts for a free hosting one), the charts exceeding the limit are not migrated during synchronization and the appropriate message appears in the Journal.

But I need more than 32. 

In the guide they say its unlimited:


You can choose 1440 free minutes provided to each registered MQL5.com user or select one of the offered service plans. Finally, you will select the data migration mode depending on your objectives:

  • complete migration is necessary if you want to simultaneously launch Expert Advisors/indicators and trade copying;
  • only Expert Advisors and indicators if subscription to signals is not required;
  • only trade copying - only Signal copying settings (no charts or programs) are moved.

There are no limitations on the number of charts and Expert Advisors/indicators. The number of activations for products purchased in the Market is not decreased when launching them on a virtual terminal.

After selecting the migration mode, you can launch the virtual server immediately by clicking "Migrate now" or do that later at any time.

Congratulations! Now, you have your own virtual server with MetaTrader terminal ready for work!


Whats the solution?

...
Whats the solution?

Nothing ... the rules say that no more than 32 charts for paid VPS and no more than 16 for free trying.

By the way, there is the other limitation: any dll is not allowed in MQL5 VPS.
So, it is better to try for free for some minutes to be sure that synchronization/migration is going with not a problem.

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).
