Subscription to FX signal

[mariqnski]

Hello , 

I want to subscribe to a signal provider ( Using MT5 ) but when I go to '' Subscribe '' , error message appears :

''SUBSCRIPTION FAILED 

Position accounting system mismatch , the signal provider uses Netting ''

May I ask what does it mean ?

Greetings ,

Netting account or hedging account?

Hello everyone, 

Sorry to bother with such a simple question but how can I check inside the mt5 platform if an account is netting or hedging, regardless if it's a real account or a demo account? 

Thank you very much for your help.

When you connect to a broker server, it will show you a message in Journal, as you can see in the picture below:

You can use this simple script when you want, as well.  It will print a message in Experts Tab.

With a hedge account you can copy all kind of MT5 signals.

You can check Signal tab with Metatrader connected to your broker (the signals should be filters based on compatibility with your trading account).
Or you can use Signal webpage - https://www.mql5.com/en/signals -
