How to Subscribe to Trading Signals [ru]

MetaQuotes | 9 October, 2012 | Views: 9314

"Signals" in MetaTrader 5 trading platform allow traders to connect to any signal issued by providers. Select and subscribe to any trading signals provider to copy all his or her deals on your account.

Trading Signals in MetaTrader 5


The reliability of all signal providers is carefully checked to provide maximum security. All signals will work only in demo mode within a month. However, you already can master them by subscribing to one of the Expert Advisors participating in the Automated Trading Championship 2012. Please keep in mind that automatic copying of performed deals is possible only when your trading terminal is active (connected to the trade server).


So, how to become an investor?

  1. Open a real or a demo trading account on MetaTrader 5. "Signals" can work with both account types. Download MetaTrader 5 and open an account.

  2. Open an account on MQL5.com.

  3. Go to the client terminal Settings and specify your login and password from your MQL5.com account.

  6. All is set! From now on, all trading operations performed by the selected signals provider will be automatically copied in your MetaTrader 5 terminal.



 How to Be an Investor with the Signals

You can subscribe to a signal not only from your terminal but also via MQL5.com website. To do this, select a necessary trading signal from the list and click "Subscribe". Select subscription period (weekly or monthly) and a start date. Specify a broker's name (the list of all appropriate names will be shown when you start typing the first symbols) and your login (trading account number) to copy trading deals to.

Monitoring of Trading Signals on MQL5.com displays trading results of all proposed providers. The choice can be made based on the success of trading operations performed by different signal providers. All providers are carefully checked for reliability and allowed to offer their signals only after they successfully pass the test period.

To subscribe to a paid signals source, your account should have sufficient funds to cover the subscription fee. All payments are made in the mql5.com internal Payment System. Find more information in the "Rules of Using the "Signals" Service".

You can manage your subscriptions via "My Subscriptions" section. Go to the section, select and subscribe to the most suitable signal and try it!

spike:
Do I have to use the same broker as Provider to receive automatic signals to my platform? 
It's recommended to use same broker as signal provider use, but it's not a mandatory. You can still subscribe using different broker.

Hi All!

What about suffix in symbols? I'm subscribed to a provider, but he has islamic account, with .isl ending. I have micro account with .m ending :D

And they won't work each other.

Of course fee paid, and has no signal. Any idea? He told me to, he will open another account to provide signals, but suffixes must be fixed, or not?

You have to write to ServiceDesk. Some suffixes are taken into account, but maybe not yet .isl.

In the poll http://www.mql5.com/en/forum/11818 about  to do subscription in demo account or not to do, I  would not have problem  to accept a signal provider in a demo account, but I have a preoccupation!!!

What level of  manipulation by the brokers in relation to a demo account?
 Some kind of manipulation by Broker can influence the final result to the Subscriber's terminal?
Is there any technical difference between a demo account and a live account that could do the difference in signal provider?

I read in a post from a moderator ( I think  was angevoyageur ),  once he tested an EA on a demo account with a broker and in less than a month your account has grown, I think it was more than 1000%, so,  this would never happen in a real account, certainly that demo account was manipulated somehow by broker, with bad intentions.

I would like an official position of MetaQuotes about this!

It was on Friday of the Championship's first week that the trading robot of Andrey Barinov (Wahoo) occupied the fifth place in TOP-10. Andrey is a newcomer in the Championship but he has already managed to execute more than 100 orders in Jobs and develop a dozen of products for Market. We have arranged an interview with him and learned that the development of a "simple multicurrency Expert Advisor" is not an easy but a fairly easy task.
