Signals Trading

New comment
 
Hi everybody

Before opening this new thread I already red all the FAQ and the forums topic about signals trading. 


All I'd like to know why I get an orange icon on the Signal part. 

By mistake I first activated it on my personal PC (and I don't remember of which color it was) then I moved everything on my VPS and saw that thing. 


Thanks everybody

This orange icon is normal, its the signal subscription icon.

Make sure that you folllow these instructions to copy the signal well: https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/189731

I'm glad you helped me in a very fast way. Hope it will works good in the future.. 

Thanks again Eleni
 

Just another quick question:




It means:

if we set slippage to 2pips and the broker offers to us a higher spread, the metatrader wont grab the signal, right?

If we always set slippage to 2 and the broker offers us the same or lower slippage the signal will be grabbed, right?



@Eleni Anna Branou

Thanks a LOT!

Eleni Anna Branou, 2017.11.02 21:06

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

Way to find signal in MT4 platform?

Sergey Golubev, 2017.02.23 12:49

You can use search on the top right corner of any page of the forum for example.

-------------------

As to finding the signal (any signal) by name in the Metatrader so you can use Metatrader's search feature as well, for example:

MT4 - 


MT5 -

Hi Everyone,

I would like to ask some issues regarding the follow signal method:

1. I can use an account to follow multiple signals or just follow one signal at a time.

2. The delay of the signal I see in the slippage section is 0.21 x 7294 so exactly how many seconds of difference.

Now I want to follow and would like to learn more about the signal.

Thanks everyone.

1. One signal subscription per account as Sergey already said.

2. 0.21 x 7294 means that this server was used 7294 times in the past copying from signal's server with an average of 0.21 points slippage (not pips). These are points of difference between servers not time delay.
