Frequently asked questions

EA means Expert Advisor. It is a program that can watch the market and place or manage trades according to set rules. You might use one if you want those rules followed automatically, but you still need to watch your account and manage your risk.

An indicator shows information on a chart to help you decide what to do. An EA can act on programmed rules and, when you allow it, place or manage trades for you.

In MetaTrader 4, one EA can be attached to each chart. You can open separate charts for other EAs, as long as your setup and licenses allow them.

Yes. Turn off or remove the EA on its own chart and leave the other chart alone. The main AutoTrading button turns off trading for all EAs in that MetaTrader terminal. If your EAs run on a VPS, make the change there.

You can place a manual trade, but it shares the same account balance and risk with the EA. Depending on that EA’s settings, your manual trade may also count toward its trade limits. Do not assume the EA will manage a trade you placed yourself.

A VPS is a computer you rent that stays on and connected to the internet. It can keep MetaTrader and your EA running when your own computer is off. It does not prevent power, internet, broker, or software problems altogether.

No. One VPS can run several EAs on separate charts if it has enough capacity and each EA is set up and licensed correctly.

Yes. Since MetaTrader 4 allows one EA per chart, give each EA its own chart. Follow that EA’s setup instructions: some CPC EAs watch several markets from one chart.

It may not have seen a setup that meets its rules. It may also be outside its trading hours, at a trade limit, or unable to trade because of its license, settings, connection, broker conditions, or available funds. A day without a trade does not by itself mean the EA is broken.

Using a VPS does not by itself raise your broker’s trading fees. VPS rental is a separate cost. Your broker’s usual spreads, commissions, and other charges still apply.

You can turn off trading for that EA on its chart or remove it, then turn it back on or attach it again later. Check any open trades first: turning the EA off may stop it from adjusting their stops.

It may help you follow a strategy consistently, but it cannot promise a profit. It can lose money, including during conditions its past tests handled well.

Start with the markets and times you want to trade and the losses you can afford. Compare each EA’s rules and risks, then try it on a demo account before using real money. CPC offers one 10-day free trial per customer on an available EA.

Your subscription covers the EA you purchased; switching is not automatic. Contact CPC to ask what options are available before changing products.

No. After digital access has been provided, CPC’s policy does not refund the unused part of a paid subscription. You can cancel future renewals, and access generally continues through the end of the term you paid for. Read the Refund & Cancellation Policy.

Yes. MetaTrader must be running, the EA must be attached to a chart, its license and trading permissions must be active, and its required settings must be correct. Follow the instructions for your specific EA; some CPC EAs monitor markets other than the chart they are attached to.

There is no set number of minutes. Turn it off before placing your manual trade and before the EA’s next possible entry. If it runs on a VPS, turn it off there, and check whether it is already managing an open trade.

They can. If the EA is set to count manual trades toward its daily limit, each manual trade leaves fewer available for the EA. Even when they are not counted, manual trades still use money and add risk to the same account.

There is no single success rate for all CPC EAs, and no win rate guarantees future results. For a particular EA, ask CPC for its documented results, the dates tested, the number of trades, and the size of losses as well as wins.

No. CPC licenses are for the purchaser and cannot be shared or transferred. The number of permitted installations depends on the plan purchased. Read the Terms & Conditions.
