I'm not sure you can,  read this, in particular the section headed  "Copying Trading Operations, Volume Calculation"  :  https://www.metatrader5.com/en/terminal/help/signals/signal_subscriber

It used to be the case with MS ISA server that you could get enhanced functionality by using the Proxy Client rather than just going via the Proxy by setting the Proxy address in the Broswer or Application, I don't know if this applies in your case.  why don't you ask the network Administrator about it,  explain what you are trying to do,  I'm sure they wouldn't mind opening up the ports you need.  

OK, let me explain the situation in little bit more details.

Of course i have other connections (without proxy), and if i am using them, then it is working.

However this is my main connection towards internet: fully redundant, fast, secure, pc power supply is backed up with diesel generators etc..
This is the reason why communication is done using proxy. The only way to access the internet is by using proxy.
I cannot influence on changing proxy parameters, and i don't want to do that.

So everything is set to work, and everything is working. Except signals.
Because obviously some part of communication is done by trying to avoid proxy usage, thereby generating:

So there is connection, which is working (and getting information, as you can see) , but in the next step, it claims that it doesn't work.
And it doesn't copy transactions.

 

Other broker, behaves different. Less info, reports errors, but he COPIES transactions (at least on opening MT4. and other signal is used) :

So ... any suggestions?

I don't see the connection between   "fully redundant, fast, secure, pc power supply is backed up with diesel generators etc.."  and  "This is the reason why communication is done using proxy."  perhaps you could explain why you think using a proxy is more reliable ?  what kind of proxy is it ?  is it run by your ISP ?  or is it an anonymizing proxy ?

I think for suh problem the best is to contact directly Service Desk (on your profile).

Here we can try to help you to configure your proxy settings, but we don't have information from Metaquotes about used ports/protocols.

Proxy is general term for multi-function border server. Through it's functionality connection redundancy (reliability), speed and security are achieved. Power redundancy is not connected to proxy, it is just an additional feature of this huge, private network.

Have you ever tried connecting your PC to multiple ISPs simoultaneously? It is practically impossible to do this without usage of additional software. Now imagine that in terms of connecting multiple local networks to internet, managing this connectivity, handling security etc.

In computer networks, a proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application) that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers. A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource available from a different server and the...

Unfortunately, this is not a solution.

When i started to migrate on MT5, i ran into a number of bugs. I reported a number of bugs, and then spent much energy first to get some attention, and then to prove that these are really bugs.

In one of the last releases,  MQ  finally corrected first of the bugs i reported, 4 months later. More important, this was probably not solved because of my report, but because somebody of importance noticed that there is a relatively serious flaw in calculation, and then he corrected it.

So here i am trying to get some inspiration to solve this issue and notify other users of such error. I will find some workaround in next few hours, and not in 4 months.
