MT5 build 4150 disabled Signal

New comment
 

I upgraded MT5 to build 4150. To my surprise, I can't find Signal page by Tools/Options as before. How can I handle it?




 
It may be becaus you connect your MT5 to demo account (signals with demo account are prohibited).
You can try to switch MT5 to real trading account to check.

1. Signal with Demo account is allowed. I have used it for years. It worked very well before upgrade.

2. My another real account has the same issue.

That was before. As of now, it is no longer allowed.

The Signals service is in decline

Renat Fatkhullin , 2024.01.17 12:07

Along with the release of MetaTrader 5 this Friday, there will be the following changes:

  1. Support for signals on any non-real accounts (demo, contest, cents, etc.) for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 is completely removed
  2. The ability to register demo or private signals on the site is removed
  3. The ability to create free signals is removed
  4. MQL5 functions SignalsXXXX are abolished; they return empty data and the code ERR_MQLAPI_FUNCTION_NOT_ALLOWED
  5. Signals can only be created by users who have received seller status


With these steps we will clear the service of garbage, free up a lot of resources and create a clean storefront.


The next step will be to reform the terms of the account with a signal subscription :

  1. Any copiers are prohibited - they are the ones who stole our signals service
  2. Connections with read only passwords are prohibited - this is how they are stolen from other people’s copy trading services
  3. All MQL5 functions will produce empty open positions/orders/trade history - copiers will be useless
  4. Inability to bypass these conditions by connecting from other copies of terminals

This will improve the quality of the service.

It was officially announced here:

4. Terminal: Disabled support for the Signals service for demo accounts. To access enhanced statistics on your training accounts, use the new trading report . It features a plethora of metrics characterizing your strategy profitability and risks, including growth, balance and equity graphs, diagrams of trade distribution by direction and instruments, and much more.

12. MQL5: Disabled and deprecated Signal* functions. They will now return empty signal sets.

Understood. Thank you very much.

 
I have paid the subscription for a month with a demo account. Will my subscription be cancelled instantly or delayed to the end of subscription.
 
Disable MT5 demo account to subscribe to a signal. What aobut MT4? will do the same thing in the future?
 
  1. All MQL5 functions will produce empty open positions/orders/trade history - copiers will be useless

what does this mean？

If I understand correctly, then you will no longer be able to obtain data on positions/orders/trading history using MQL5 if the terminal is connected to a trading account that is subscribed to a signal
