IMPORTANT
VisionKeys creates a bridge between MetaTrader 4 or 5 and a Stream Deck device. With that, it's important to keep in mind some basic operation and requirements as your computer & network environment could negatively affect the operation.
- VisionKeys at its core functions through MetaTrader. If your internet connection isn't available or reliable MetaTrader will not be able to submit trade requests to your broker. In short, if MetaTrader cannot operate neither can VisionKeys.
- Various features of VisionKeys requires it to monitor open positions waiting for specific criteria to automate tasks for you. 2 simple examples of this are Trailing Stops & Runner Orders. The most common way for VisionKeys to lose it's ability to monitor these tasks are due to your computer or computer network interface going to sleep. Simply put, if your computer goes to sleep VisionKeys also goes to sleep. This is something to be mindful of when you walk away depending on the types of positions you currently have open. The simple, recommended fix is turn off any sleep modes while using VisionKeys. The display can safely sleep, but the cpu, storage, and network need to remain up for both VisionKeys and MetaTrader to operate correctly.
