If your broker has a USDJPY symbol without suffix, then you will probably not be able to copy it properly.

You can ask the signal provider for advice on suggested broker/server setups.

Broker's use a variety of naming patterns: EURUSD, EURUSDb, EURUSDc, EURUSDcheck, EURUSDct, EURUSDecn, EURUSDf, EURUSDh, EURUSDi, EURUSDm, EURUSDme, EURUSDmicro, EURUSDpro, EURUSDt, EURUSDx. “EUR.USD”, “EUR/USD”, “EUR/USD_ecn”, “EURUSD!”, “EURUSD#”, “EURUSD..”, “EURUSD.”, “EURUSD.a”, “EURUSD.ar”, “EURUSD.ax/a>”, “EURUSD.c”, “EURUSD.cfx”, “EURUSD.ecn” and “EURUSD.ECN”, “EURUSD.G”, “EURUSD.i”, “BTCUSD.lts”, “EURUSD.m”, “EURUSD.p”, “EURUSD.pro”, “EURUSD.r”, “EURUSD.t/a>”, “EURUSD.SBe”, “EURUSD.stp”, “EURUSD.s”, “EURUSD.z”, “EURUSD'”, “EURUSD@”, “EURUSD_i”, “EURGBP_0s”, “EURUSD-5”, “EURUSD-g”, “EURUSD-m”, “EURUSD-sb”, “BRENT.cmd”, “#XAUUSD”, “#FB”, “#TSLA”, and Financial symbols with “-”, “=”, “_”, and “+”

If the pattern your broker uses doesn't match the pattern of your signal provider's broker, you can't copy the signal/open a trade. Switch brokers to one that has that adornment.

Signals: Added automatic conversion of EURUSD* type Forex trading symbols. If a signals source has positions at EURUSD! symbol, while a subscriber trades on EURUSD (or vice versa), the terminal will automatically detect the similarity of the trading symbols changing their names when copying the signal.
