Updating a list of charts after ChartClose(..)

My mql4 EA opens charts and closes them under various scenarios. The problem I have is once a chart is closed, it is still showing as an open chart via ChartNext(..) etc. even though the chart is obviously closed. For testing, the code below opens, then closes 3 charts, and lists the resulting

Efficiently assign an Array

If I have 2+ arrays and I want to edit etc one of the arrays, how do I efficiently assign the array so I can make changes?

Subscribing to signal - broker, VPS

Ok, so I've subscribed to two signals but often missing on some trades - one cost me $80. I know one option is to have my trade account with the same broker as the signal. But can I still use a VPS from MQL5.com or should it be with the broker ? Thanks. Andrew

Signals strategy

Well, I've subscribed to my first signal with real money and it seems to be doing ok after 3 weeks, meeting my twin criteria of stability and a reasonable monthly return. There is some slippage, but I understand that can happen as my broker is different from the providers. The question is, what
