Question

[Bent4102]

I'm new and still learning....
I'm using GalileoFX with MT5, running on an older Windows 10 PC. Does the bot keep running, and looking for trades, if I lock my PC? (ctl-alt-del). Or do I need to keep it open to work?
Thank you

For Galileo FX (or any Expert Advisor running on MetaTrader 5) to continue operating and looking for trades, MetaTrader 5 must remain actively running. Locking your PC using Ctrl-Alt-Del does not close programs, but if your PC goes to sleep, hibernates, or disconnects from the internet, the trading bot will stop running and looking for trades.
