Important - Auto Update Issue

Why Publisher does not work ? You can't do anything with it ?

Publisher will work for a new account, not if you wish to resume publishing an account which was publishing using the auto update method.

As to the other issue - make sure you're running the EA as administrator (right click).

How could the TRACK RECORD be verified on ea base? I also added the investors password but it did not work.

QQ3 & all

Exactly how I feel.
Looked at zulutrader today but too many bad reports on the net about them and fxPrimus

Let me know if anyone knows of a service to replace MT4.

Mike.

i don't why I am starting to get the feeling that someone may be trying to cut cost..:/

I don't understand why FXSTAT works perfectly with their similar automatic system they call it: 'FXStat Direct (recommended)' and MYFXBOOK no.

I prefer MYFXBOOK but we have more than 30 account. We cannot being every day several times at they getting in each MT$ account of each broker in order the EA actualize the accounts.

It may seem other services are working well however they do not have the same amount of accounts we do (with auto update about +70k). The more accounts we have from a broker the less frequent updates we can make. So update frequency with other services (using the investor password) will decrease over time therefore you'll get the same issue. Traders wish to have their data updated every 5 minutes and we can guarantee this update frequency only with the EA/publisher.

We're making tests to see if can be somehow resolved.

''''''they do not have the same amount of accounts we do''''''

So you see it is a SERVER ISSUE as I said yesterday?!?!? lol!

I found a way to solve the issue! It's called FXSTAT.com 😇

YES!
They are not using proprietary unofficial solutions to access your account on MT4 servers.
'FxStat developed its own bridge which required to be installed on MT4 platform. To be connected to MT4, you need to have your MT4 account open.'
Of course their method is tedious to maintain and requires a VPS for 5/24 operation.

I have 3 accounts here from different brokers. All are running buildf 500.

The same here. 3 different Brokers. Build 500. I use myfxbook Publisher over VPS and on the local Pc. Everything works fine.
I also added a new ActivTrades Account few days ago at my local Pc. Also works fine and updates every 5 minutes.

Happy. Till now..

As a broker we can give permission to some servers and IP's request MT4 server.
As i understand that problem appear after when Metaquotes made restriction on third party DLL (they call it Pirates Software)
So from 500 version they stop support builds from xxx till 491. I think Myfxbook DLL was made under build 294.
So need to ask Metaquotes how to rebuld DLL in order to be able receive data.

when you are a broker, please go to https://support.metaquotes.net/en/news/1838 and tell what is stated in point 4.
That has nothing related with third party dlls

QuantQ3, please read all, not just few words :)
It is server's issue, yes, but MT4 server's :)
In fact Metaquotes restricts number of connection from one IP to MT4 server. Thus, being with much clients, MyFxBook should make many (same restricted) connections form a single IP. That is the problem. The broker can't do anything, iti is in in the binary code of MT4 server, build 500. There are no interfaces where it could be set - it just happens. So, MT4 server blocks the IPs, the broker is even not aware of that until someone (the blocked client) call him. And the broker answers: 'but I do not restrict anything' - which is true! Because MT4 server does it!
And the broker cant do anything - cant mess the binary code of the server...

The other services you mentioned - it is simple same as EA update here. It is just called 'a bridge' which is same EA that you may use at MyFxBook.

I am not related to MyFxBook in any way btw...

:)

Best!

So does anyone know if Metaquotes are actually working on fixing this 'bug'? It seems to be affecting a large part of our trading community.. I'm looking for a suitable alternative to MT4 as a manual trading platform. I don't mind paying. Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks

I suggest to Myfxbook people that pay a license to METAQUOTES as the broker do and then they'll have the same rights as a broker.

Do MYFXBOOK pay a license to METAQUOTES. I think it cost $5,000 only.


Then they'll clients, instead of being treated as Pirates.

Is it correct?

I never used EA update before. Am I only have to use the EA update on one curency (eg. GBPUSD) only?

The publisher doesn't seems to be working on one of my accounts...
STOR issues... And when i try to connect directly via FTP with a FTP Client i get a lot of issues to upload the statement.html file manually. But, it seems to be uploading after all. The thing is that my system's page doesn't seem to be updating accordingly...
https://www.myfxbook.com/members/cacus/marketswing-fxcl/75937
Last update on May 23 while on the FTP the statement.html file says May 28 and is the latest i got on my trading platform...
Is there any issue with this particular account? since all my other accounts seems to be updating just fine...
Regards

STOR issue means you haven't ticket the passive mode option in the ftp settings.

There is no available license nor API as far as we're aware.

I tried both ways, my system's page still doesn't get updated.

that's so ridiculous. now one account is again updating and the other one not.
also the one account which is not updating, has not the connect button in the settings anymore.
what is happening here? both accounts use the latest 500 mt4 version.
so why is one working and the other one not???!
really gettin tired of this updating dilemma...
