Same account on diff computers.

I have decided to break down and open an MT4 live acct. Only thing holding me back is the question of accessing this account from multiple PC's. A search of the MT forum here came up with these ?'s and solutions.
Is this the same experience that others have had. It works, but EA's and trailing stops need to be watched carefully.?
Anyone doing this. This would be great if can do.
This would be optimal if I could leave my home PC acct logged in and still access via another PC - but using the same version. How about if load mobile version on a PC?. (maybe some sort of emulation..???).

As you can see my issue is running the same acct on diff PC's in diff locations. Any tips, tricks insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

I am signing on MT live account from 2 different computers and at the same time no problem.
The reason you need to watch EAs is they operate on each computer separately and make decisions as ticks come in, so if decision is made to buy both EAs may buy independently of one another abd may end up twice the number of lots in the trade. So run EA only from one computer. You can't control EA from another computer, that is you can't close it or change parameters.

I've used the following deployment to solve the sort of requirement you describe for the last couple of months.

Use one physically secured and power-backedup box (a low cost low spec machine running w2000- dedicated to running 3 seperate live and demo mt4 installations simultaniously - I run NO OTHER applications on this box except FTP client and some other com and maintenence services) with RAID 0.- in my case located in a friends datacentre 15 mile from my home. (where there is 24h tech support) But home would be fine. just lock it away!!

I then access that box through a LogMeIn account https://secure.logmein.com/home.asp, an absolutely killer app that creates a VP(p to p)Network and its FREE. (its a gottahave). Through this I can get absolute control of the MT4 Box from my laptop/home computer or any computer, anywhere, with 256bit encryption ..
Just with my email a/c identifier and a good password.
I reboot (remotely and maintain log files etc min imum every week.
I don't trust MS OS's. ANY.

I've found this approach very to use, secure,flexible and reasonably failsafe.

I use my home PC - a fast machine- for strategy tester and all the home business and usual geek junk. But I have same MT4 accounts loaded in this too for emergencies only.
Never had to use in anger but it all worked in some trials.
Only problem I've found is synchronising all the bloody EAs sets, tpls indicators and history files over two computers and effectively 6 installations. Pain in the *.
Important thing for me is that I keep the operation of my live accounts and forward testing demos seperate from anything else I'm doing.

Anyway one soldiers story ...Hope this helps.
