Searching signal opens up web brower

[bradjo32]

I'm trying to search a signal in the MT4 application that is not available in the Terminal. When I click on the link for the signal, it opens the signal page in a web browser instead of inside MT4, so I'm unable to subscribe to the signal. Is there a setting I can change?

This is the instruction about how to search and how to subscribe -

The problem is when I get to Step 4 and click the signal, it opens a Google Chrome browser instead of opening it inside the MT4 terminal. I assume there’s a setting?

It happened to me if -

• I forgot to fill Community tab with my forum login and forum password, or
• if forgot to login to my trading account, or
• if I am trying to subscribe to free signal by my real/live account. or
• if I am on new computer with old build of MT4 or old version of Windows for example,
• and most often case - when I forgot to install Interet Explorer on computer 9I do not need Internet Exoplorer but Metatrader is using it).

Example about how I am searching (I selected any free signal for my demo account; demo signal is free):

If someone (you for example) ask me about the following: "What is your MT4 build? What is your Windows version?"
I open MT4, go to the Journal and will post the following:

2022.10.27 19:14:37.010    Windows 10 Home Single Language x64, IE 11, UAC, 2 x Intel Celeron N4020  @ 1.10GHz, Memory: 113 / 3918 Mb, Disk: 29 / 118 Gb, GMT+3
2022.10.27 19:14:37.010    MetaTrader 4 build 1359 started (MetaQuotes Software Corp.) 

IE11 means that I have Internet Explorer installed.
Windows 10 Home Single Language x64 means that I am on Windows 10 64-bit (I can use MT5 as well on my laptop because Metatrader 5 is requited the Windows 64-bit).

Hello Sergey, I never solved this issue but I'm now trying to solve it. I am trying to subscribe to the signal on my real/live account. Is that why Google Chrome is popping up?

The subscription is made directly from Metatrader -

So, you can find the signal (you can use web browser in this case for example), and after that - you are finding this pre-selected signal on Metatrader by using search on the top right corner of Metatrader (look at post #4 as the example).
