MT4 or MT5 trading platforms run EAs(Expert Advisers) on the platform only but doesn’t run the program on MetaTrader server itself.

Thus, if your trading platform isn’t active, your EAs and Indicators will also stop working.

In order to resolve this issue, you will need to run your MT4 or MT5 trading platform without closing or logging out.
