How to Subscribe to a MT5 Signal - page 9

[Daniel Steven Ogden]

Hi everyone,

I’m setting up my friend’s MT5 account to copy my trades. However, whenever I activate my strategy on his MT5, all my current open positions are immediately copied into his account. This isn’t ideal, as these trades are executed at different prices, resulting in poor timing and increased risk for him.

What I’m looking for is a way to ensure that only new trades (opened after the subscription starts) are copied to his account, without syncing the existing open positions from my account.

Has anyone faced this issue before? If so, how can I stop MT5 copy trading from syncing current open trades when subscribing to a signal?

Thanks in advance for your help!

It is not advisable to begin copying a signal with open positions - wait for the signal to close all positions and then synchronize with it -
