How to subscribe to signal in MT4?

 

This questions might be answered, but tried to find it and could not.


When I try to subscribe to signal it takes me to download the MT5, and I was trying to find my broker on MT5, but could not find.

I did subscribe on a free signal and install it on MT5, but that for a demo account from MT5. Am I missing something, or do I need to contact my broker?


Thanks!

 

If you want to subscribe to MT4 signal so you should have MT4 installed.
And you can download MT4 from the broker's website only.

Then your broker doesn't support signal copying.

Contact them and if this is the case, find another broker compatible with the signal you want to copy.

Check the slippage tab of the signal and you should choose a broker within the green values (best) or the upper yellow ones.

Yes, I think so that the broker's MT4 doesn't support signal. I tried different broker and it works fine. Thank you.
