Tradespin,

two possible solutions

1) you have to select an VPS Provider which have no limitation of running mt4 instances - only designated VPS hardware (ram,hdd) limits you, then you can run many mt4 apps as you want - each ea have its own mt4 apps (my preferred test setup because i test always from M1 to D1)

2) to run multiple ea`s in one mt4 account, each ea must have its own magic number, example open 3 times eur/usd chart, compile each ea with its own magic number (EA#1 magic 123, EA#2 magic 456, EA#3 magic 789), attach each ea to one eur/usd chart
(this is for vps which are limited to run mt4 instances)
