Signal subscribing deletes all my open trades

 

I have subscibed to a MQL-Signalprovider, but when I connected my account, all my open trades were closed, so the suddenly closing generated some losses over 400 Euro.

Can I avoid this in the future?

 
Close your open trades before subscribing. If You subscribe metatrader will copy The trades from The Signal and because your opened trades were not opened by The Signal, they were closed i think.
 

Yup, MT cannot match your open trades to the signal so automatically closes them. You should never open any other trades when connected to a signal.

It should be simple to open extra accounts with your broker to use for other EAs, signals or manual trading.
