Eleni Anna Branou, 2017.04.10 10:02

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:

 


 

  • Agree to the terms of use of the signals service
  • Enable real time signal subscription
  • Copy Stop Loss and Take Profit levels

Yes, paid. Yes, real account. Already subscribed for 2 months no problem. Just today have issue of this. Subscription expiration by Dec 21, 2018, so still have plenty of time. Procedures all correct, and had been working for the last 2 months.

 

And my personal opinion: I remember two similar cases - because of bad internet connection, and the situation was fixed when the subscribers started to use MQL5 VPS

If everything was fine except today so it may be bad internet connection.
or you should start to consider to use MQL5 VPS for example ...

If this issue will be continuing tomorrow so let me know, and I will ask the technical team to look at it (but be sure to upload everything required here #964 for them on your thread).

Will do. Will see how on coming days. Maybe the internet connection of the signal provider is bad, or not connected?

How to check if the signal provider side is ok or not?

 
Lip Seng Moey:

Yes, I am also currently using the MQL5 VPS. 

So, it may be VPS issue.
You can try sinchronize once again.

And if the situation/issue will be continuing tomorrow - upload VPS log to the thread.
Or look at the log by yourself to find possible issue.

I subscribed to 5 different signals. Only this one is having this issue about 7 hours ago. The rest of 4 are ok. All using MQL5 VPS.
