Cheers

Hello
I still have the same problem of connecting/disconnecting between FST and MT4. It happens in my PC and in my VPN, whose memory I just increased. So it's not related to computing power. Also the connection tool shows me only two connections, and there are no other hidden processes in the task messenger.
What could it be?

I have the same thing happening with mine on a 1.30Ghz processor. To overcome the problem I minimize FST and there are no connects/disconnects. I think it is due to the overhead of processing the FST graphics, hence the reason the problem disappears when it is minimised.

I can imagine that after a stable Pro is available FSB/FST will become a second priority, which makes sense for me.

Meanwhile I think the connect/disconnect could also be due to limited system resources no? I am using a VPS with only around 600 Mb of memory. I can imagine that with the custom indicators each instance of FST needs a lot of resources no? Can you give any advice on the memory requirements of each instance with custom indicators?

Yuo have to see only IDs you currently use. I  experienced similar problem and found out MT4 working on background and keeping open connections I currently use. These connections intercept signals from MT4 / FST and programs cannot see each other. This can perfectly explain flickering connect/disconnect.
Better stop everything and check connections. It must not be any. Start adding FST / MT4 IDs one by one and refresh the tool screen. It must be two connections for every ID - MT4-FST and FST-MT4.

Maybe that's the difference.  Haven't downloaded or installed any Pro software.  will try this weekend.  still believe newer versions of FSB do weird Sharpe ratio generations for RossHookLedge et al.  by the way nothing including FSB or FST, installs or runs unless I specially install/run them as "Administrator" on Win8 PC.  As I've reported before, Win8 sucks.

You could indeed miss trades or fail to close trades if FST is not connected to MT4.

I have installed FST in a VPS with MT4. However the connection seems not to be working that well since from time to time MT4 reports "FST disconnected". My question: presuming that the connection works like 95% of the time, could this have a negative impact? For example, if a signal is sent while the system is disconnected, would I miss the trade (or the close of the trade), or would it be triggered once the connection is up again?
Thanks
Nuno
