Thanks for this Article, is registered to a signal last night with a negative floating profit, i did not receive the screen as per the article giving me an option to wait for favourable market conditions, instead the signal copied the losses to my account without giving me the opportunity to for favourable market conditions, what could have been the reason for for me not reciving the warning screen and the option to wait for favourable market conditions?

No, the signal didn't copy the losses to your account, it only opened the current open positions of the signal at the current price.

If you wanted to wait for favourable conditions, you should wait until it had no open positions.
