How to Subscribe to MT4/MT5 Signal
Hi
Can someone please confirm this info, does a signal subscriber really need a VPS?
I thought that the broker's VPS keeps and controls the connections?
Just asking before I waste money paying for another VPS if I don't need to?
Cheers Clinton
Copying signals on the MQL5 platform is an effective way to take advantage of the trading strategies of professional traders. However, in order to maintain a constant and stable signal copy, you need to open MT5 on your computer or virtual server (VPS). If you close MT5, you will not be able to receive new signals from the signal provider and may miss important trading opportunities. Therefore, you should leave MT5 running in the background or use a VPS to ensure continuous and safe signal copying.

Ok dudes thanks for all that info.
Here is a problem I am getting.
I am running my signal account on my Mac and running my own copy account on my iPhone.
Some trades don't copy from my Mac / signal account to my phone / copy account, but if I connect to the copy account on my Mac then the copy iPhone account updates the trades.
My copy / phone account has a MQL5 VPS subscription so why does my signal not always send the trades to my phone??
Sounds complicated but I tried to explain it.
I would not like this problem once I get copy subscriptions !
Thanks Clinton
Ok I found the problem.
Somehow my copy server was stopped, not sure how that happened.
Thanks Clinton
