Help! I can't figure out how to subscribe to a signal

 

Im a complete newbie but usually pretty good with techy stuff...


I've followed all the videos on how to subscribe to a signal but I don't seem to have the same options as in the demos?

On the MQL5 site, the only option is to "copy trades" which then downloads a zip file

On the Metatrader platform, the signals don't show up on the tab.


Im logged in , authorised etc and have deposited money on the MQL5 account ready to go.


Anyone have any advice?


Thanks!

Make sure -

  • that you have Internet Explorer the latest version installed on your PC (I am having version 11);
  • that you are using the latest build of Metatrader,
  • that you are login to Community folder using your forum login (your forum login is gemmalouco); do not use your email for login.
  • that your password is less than 10 characters (if your password is 10 or more characters - change this password; read this thread for information).

SOLVED.

1.open data folder 2.once you open the data folder go back to the Terminal folder .3 once in the terminal folder go to the Community folder and delete everything in there ,restart mt4 and in mt4 go to terminal/market and login to your mql5 account and everything should work 


 

After the Signal tab in Metatrader will be fixed so you can use the following subscription procedure (depends on MT4 or MT5 for example):

Thank you, must be a problem with the install, I'll log the problem with the service desk 
 

The service desk won't respond to any questions that aren't related to financials. I'm still stuck, anyone willing to help a lady out? :) 

Could it be that my broker has disabled signals? (Im with BDSwiss). It doesn't explain why I can't subscribe to the signals through the MQL5 platform though?
