Failproof - Multiple MT4 Clients on different machines, same account

Hello Folks,

at some point I've found some threads about MT4 and machine set-up in case of a blackout, Internet connection fault, Computer fault etc.

I'm trying to find this since days, but do not have had any luck.

What I would like to achieve is to have two/three machines. In case one fails, the next one should take over.

My plan is to have one, maybe two at home - this would eliminate the failure of the Computer itself and one on another site, maybe a hosted Win server etc.

Can somebody maybe point me to some of those thready or tell me what your setup is to be prepared for the above scenarios?

I'm specifically trying to find solutions for the following:

 

1. Make the next Computer active if Computer one fails (ping and timeout?)
2. Start the terminal on the active machine.
3. Is there a way to start MT4 with EAs activated/deactivated by default or trough the a command line (like "mt4.exe - expert" or "mt4.exe -noexpert" - just to name an example?
4. Let the newly active machine send out alive information in case it dies also.
5. Make sure to also let another machine take over in case MT terminal fail, but ping (Internet) is still running.

I appreciate any personal input and links to other threads or sites.

Thanks.

The chances of a computer failure are very small compared with a power or network failure.

Redundant power and network setups are your best bang for the buck initially.

Check out the various VPS vendors. The cheapest don't have network redundancy, the best have redundant everything.

Thanks. This is for sure an option.

But in case something happens with the VPS, I need a backup.
So I need some kind of a setup which will tell MT on Machine2, if Machine1 is off and at the same time enable MT plus the expert on Machine2.

Hello MikeFT, I remember this thread simply because I was in awe seeing how far one can take IT to the next level!

Best.
