Copy Trading Sync

 

When subscribing to a signal for copy trading, do we need to have a running MT5, e.g. do we need a VPS machine? Or will subscribers sync with providers even without an MT5 subscriber machine running?

I am not sure whether the copying happens at the server level without the subscriber having the need to run any MT5 client software?

Secondly, https://www.metatrader4.com/en/trading-platform/help/signals/signal_subscriber#trade describes how volume of trades is calculated. But how do we know exactly what the provider's money management? e.g. their leverage, percentage of balance per trade, etc. Are we able to see those parameters clearly from our own dashboard without asking the provider?

Signal Subscriber is a trader who subscribes to Provider's trading signals to copy trade operations of the latter on his or her own trading...
 

We need Metatrader runniing all the time with good interet and good connection to the broker's server.
or we need VPS which is more preferable.
