Payed for subscription..no parameters?

[Curtis Bennett]

I bought a monthly signals subscription and wanted to auto copy the signal providers trades. When i subscribed i expected to be setting the parameters? No parameter setting came up it just completed the payment then went blank. The subscriptions been purchased, and it says the signals active, now i'm stuck on what to do as i'm guessing it won't copy the trades, but iv'e subscribed and have no idea what to do?

If you are on Windows (because the Signal service does not work for Linux and Mac) so read the following (this is about how to subscribe and about parameters) -

Below are step by step instructions, of how to subscribe to a MΤ4 signal:

1. Register a MQL5 account: https://www.mql5.com/en/auth_register 

2. Open your MT4 platform and go to Menu >> Tools >> Optios and click on the Community tab. There you put your Login and Password of your MQL5 account and click OK.

3. Go to the search area of your MT4 platform, on the upper right corner (where the magnifying glass is), type in the name of the signal you want to subscribe and click Enter.

 

 

4. You will see lower, in the Terminal Window of your MT4 platform, the results of your search. Click on the name of the signal you want to subscribe. 

 

 

5. Click on the green Subscribe for $$ USD button on the right side of your MT4's Terminal Window.

 

 

6. Select the payment method and complete payment for your subscription.

7. In the Options >> Signals window that opens, tick the following options:
