Slow execution with MQL5 VPS

New comment
 

Hi,

I started using the MQL5 VPS and it works but very slowly. My first few trades were executed with 25-35 seconds delay. On my PC it works within a second and have also used on a different VPS that worked very fast. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I do not think it is related to MQL5 VPS (because "NY.02 is 9.08 ms").

Besides, your screenshot is the log from Metatrader journal?
Metatrader journal has nothing to do with your EA trading in case you are using MQL5 VPS (MQL5 VPS is having the journal as well where everything should be written).

That was the VPS journal.

I do not see any " 25-35 seconds delay".
Just 12 ms, 9 ms, 395 ms (395 ms is not bad too, and it is maily related to the broker's server and not related to VPS).

ms = milliseconds





My opinion: everything is fine

Ok, but my signals come in on 5m bar close. So in this case there was a 36 second delay as trade triggered  09:25:36.523 instead of  09:25:00. Seems the signals get delayed when on the VPS but then executes ok.

On my PC the signals came in at:

2021.07.20 09:25:02.061 Easy Strategy Builder 5 (DE30,M30) Error number is 4752 and also check result number is 10027 that means AutoTrading disabled by client

In the VPS though they came through 23-34 seconds later:

2021.07.20 09:25:25.995 Trades '5334573': order #164132561 sell 0.4   0.4 IT40 at market done in 333.867 ms

It is not related to MQL5 VPS.
Because MQL5 VPS is executing the trades in almost in the same time when the broker's server is executing them.
It may be related to the different time on MQL5 VPS (because MQL5 VPS = "Metatrader in cloud") or something related to the broker's server.

MQL5 VPS can not provide any delay for anything.
 
Yeah I noticed the same thing too on my MQL5 VPS. Don't think its that big of a deal though.
 
Yes, it takes some time to open orders. I have had the same problem, my EA works great but when sending order it takes few seconds which can change the place of order.
