Nothing works. Terminal migrates but does not want to trade.

It sucks, there is no way to control trading.

Have you looked at Expert Advisors logs?

Your terminal lives normally:

Experts are activated:

Every hour the terminal writes a message in the log that it is alive, indicating the time of ping to the trading server.


Output more logs from Experts to make sure everything is working.

Here's the thing. Expert Advisors are active but they do not trade. When I switch on the terminal EAs immediately start trading from my computer, although the server is switched on.

Output important conditions for starting and making decisions in logs.

Print will help you.

Put Prints in your servers.

Nothing works. The ticks do not reach the Expert Advisors. OnTick doesn't work.

Sorry, yesterday unexpectedly broke processing in the beta version of hosting.

Already fixed, everything will be available today.

 

Looks amazing, can't wait same thing for MT5. 10$/month is great deal.

Just don't quite get about EA parameter change - I cannot change them directly on virtual host, and must again launch my terminal on local pc, update parameters, and synchronize? So, if I want to update them from different pc - its not simple, and I must completely recreate same chart and EA setup, plus activate another EA license, set new EA parameters, and only then synchronize? On VPS this was much simpler, I can login to VPS from any computer using Remote desktop and change whatever I want.

Also, there definitely should be option "close all deals and stop trading" for virtual host. I am not sure that "autotrade constantly enabled" is ok.
