You can customize the block to make it fit your web page's design. The block's color and size in pixels or percentage terms relative to a page width can be changed. The frame can also be turned on or off. After inserting all the changes, you will see the final version of your widget in Preview section.
Now, you should only copy the generated code and paste it on your web page. From this point on, the selected widget will be displayed on the page among other information. After clicking the block, your visitors will be able to view the page about your trading signal containing its full description, as well as subscribe to it.
If you decided to display TOP 10 on your web page and selected the appropriate option in Widgets section, you should specify the platform: MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5. The signals available for the platform will be shown. The number of displayed signals is set in Size section. Apart from that, the block customization is performed the same way as described above. Copy the code to paste the widget on your page.
Showcase widgets are selected in a different way. Here you should select the platform and specify a trade server to receive the list of all signals working on it.
Widget's layout and the web link to it will be generated after clicking "Get a widget code" button. If Broker field is empty, widgets of all available signals for the specified platform will be downloaded. This type of widgets is designed primarily for brokers and has no settings. However, it has built-in tools for signal list filtration by various trade parameters, as well as for switching the list pages.
