use an account owned by others to create a signal

 
I trade for some friends. Can I use their account to list as my signal?

I don't think that is allowed and is somewhat suspect. If found out, they may ban the signal or even the account, so it might be best not to do that. But if you want an official answer, then ask at the Service desk. We are only user here.

The service desk normally is my first choice and attempt. But my question does not belong to any of the pre-set subjects, and I was referred to the forum here.

Unfortunately, the Service Desk is directing almost every one to the forum, even when it is something that is of their responsibility. We users are then left with not being able to offer help much. It is unfortunate that MetaQuotes does not seem to see value in quality customer service.
