Absolutely. There’s risk at every turn. Your home server could lose connection and miss a closing trade. Your vps could annoyingly restart or be under maintenance. An API could go down. Slippage can eat into your profits. I can’t say this definitively, but my guess it that most ‘horror stories’ about MT4 problems are people who were trading too big for their account size (imho). I haven’t had any issues, but if for some reason I get screwed on a trade, get the wrong price and the things fly, literally, 1000 pips against me, I might lose 100 dollars - a loss I can recover from. But nothing is for sure. There is always risk. When any give trade doesn’t mean very much in profit or loss though, I worry less.
If you're struggling with MQL4 you might look into: https://www.amazon.com/Expert-Advisor-Programming-MetaTrader-automated/dp/0982645937/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1472939095&sr=8-1&keywords=expert+advisor+programming
I was pretty happy with it. If you can swing C# I can't imagine MQL4 would give you too much trouble. The docs are pretty good too. Debugging is the most annoying bit.
I just ordered the book, I never found any tutorials either.
