Dear Trader, 

It happens because the robots are actually installed in your platform: whether it is cAlgo or cTrader. When you close the platform, it automatically closes the robots, since they are the part of it.

Running robots 24/7

carlosagc86,

If you need the robots to run 24/7 a VPS is the answer. There are many alternativs to choose from depending on your needs. A VPS located in London is the best choice when it comes to cAlgo and cTrader because most brokers have a direct connection and low latency to the data centers in London.
