VPS remote control

 

Hey, have question regarding managing EA's on VPS.


Lets say, I'm away from computer, and my EA starts doing crazy things (lets assume its ea from market) so is any posibility to remove ea from vps or swap ea's outside mt5? like i dont know, via team viewer or something like this?


Regards

There are a few ways of doing so directly in the EA if you don’t find any solution.

In my case, since I didn’t want to bother with APIs and Web Requests, I just created a simple remote control system: my EAs detects trade / pending orders with a very specific (and usually impossible to reach), SL value that I can set in the inputs.

So when things go bad, I just open a very small trade or a pending order with that SL and it turns off the EA. 

EDIT: you can also pay a freelancer to provide you with such system. 
 
Yes, probably personal feature just for me must be made by author of the ea, thanks Zaky
 

Use RDP (Remote desktop) or similar remote access applications that are available for smartphone too.

You can in this way connect to your PC/VPS and do your stuffs like you are using the PC directly! (like disabling MQL5 VPS or closing a chart with an EA running in case of using 3rd party VPS).
