Using the same expert advisor with different inpputs in different accounts with vps.

 
hi guys i just want to confirm if i got it right.

Example i have 2 accounts loged in, in my mt4 platform.

Account A i connected it with my EA with xxx inputs and synchronized it with a vps from mt4. It has been running perfectly so far. (i only synchronized it once and let it be)


1 week later i created account B and connected it with the same ea BUT with YYY inputs (meaning different inputs as the balance etc is different) and synchronized it with a vps from mt4. Will this somehow affect account A and change the settings of my EA in account A?
 

If you are talking about MQL5 VPS so this VPS is per account.
Synchronization = sending the chart(s) with EA(s) attached (or signal subscription) together with envorinment to this VPS (because this VPS - your other Metatrader but in cloud).

If you moved your MQL5 VPS subscription from account A to account B using this link https://www.mql5.com/en/vps/subscriptions
and synchronize your same EA with differet settings and so on so your MQL5 VPS will trade on account B using your new synchronization data.
And account A has nothing to do with this MQL5 VPS in this case.

Because MQL5 VPS is per trading account (per trading account A or per trading account B).

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

It is how I understand it ...

thank you for answering. i didnt migrate it, but both accounts are running on their own VPS. 

Therefore both ea will run with the different inputs right? as i synchronized the ea with different input in each account

Yes.

Because MQL5 VPS is "Metatrader in cloud".
So, you synchronize account A from your home Metatrader with "Metatrader in cloud",
and you synchronize account D with the other "Metatrader in cloud".

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).

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

For Metatrader 5 only, limitations:

  • 32-bit terminals are no longer allowed to load programs from the Market.
  • 32-bit terminals cannot connect to the hosting service.
  • The 32-bit MetaEditor version does not support additional file protection via MQL5 Cloud Protector.
  • MQL5 programs compiled under old MetaEditor versions (released 5 years ago or more) cannot run in the new terminal version.

    How to log in to VPS?

    MQL5 VPS does not work as a traditional VPS. You can use it in order to upload your MT4/5 trading environment onto a virtual server.

    So you need to prepare your charts and EAs (or signal subscription settings), that you want to migrate to the virtual server.

    After you uploaded and properly setup your EAs on the appropriate currency pairs charts, you click the Auto Trading button on your local MT4/5 terminal.



    Then you right click on the MQL5 VPS details in the Navigator window (for MT4) >> Synchronize experts, indicators (or Synchronize signal only, for a signal subscription) or tick the appropriate Migrate option down below in the VPS tab of your Toolbox window for MT5.




    Finally you can check that everything was done perfectly in the MQL5 VPS (right click) >> Journal and see if you've got something like below, indicating that your migration was succesful.
