Copy Trading Is Not Working

[oscar_jetty]

Hi,
I've spent a couple days redownloading mt5, downloading mt4, making new demo accounts, switching computers etc. trying to get copy trading to work.
At this point I feel like its some sort of problem with my mql5 account.
Below I've linked a video showing the problem.
I would really appreciate any help I can get as I really just cant seem to get it working.

Demo accounts do not work for signal subscription anymore (and there are no any free signals for now).

Ah alright, thanks so much for a swift reply. Does this mean I would have to find a broker to setup a live account with? and is there a chance that said broker would have disabled the ability to copy trade? And by any chance do you recommend any specific brokers.

I'm having the same issue on my live Pepperstone account (not a demo account), any other suggestions?

you have to become a seller if you want to use the signals page to monitor your account. If you read the post referred to by Sergey.

"5. Signals can only be created by users who have received seller status"

Thank you, although im not trying to monitor my account by having a personal signal. I just want to copy others signals "Copy Trading" and cant seem to do so, even in a live account.

maybe you need to have a balance in the website account before you can subscribe?

I promise i have done everything that is described in the posts you have linked, and as you can see in the video i linked i can sometimes successfully search up a signal name and it pops up, but clicking it does nothing and there is no mentioned "green subscribe button" as the guide to mt5 mentions. I have the same issue on my macbook. Is it because i have to actually fund the live account in question or as someone else mentioned maybe fund my mql5 account.

Nevermind, i have now linked my blackbull live account and it is finally working! I guess pepperstone had some sort of block on it. Thanks for your assistance anyway.
