Being subscriber of my own signal. Possible?

 

Hello.

I have two trading accounts. I use one of them as a signal provider in MQL5.

Is it possible for me to be a subscriber to myself?

So, I could link my other account to the signal provider account.

Or, if there is a better solution, please do not hesitate to share with me.

 

  • One signal per account as a provider; and
  • one signal per account as a subscriber.
  • provider's account can not be subscriber's account (it should be different accounts).

Yes, you can subscribe to your signal with another account but this subscription will not be visible in signal's subscribers or funds.

 

Thank you all
