subscribing to signals

New comment
 
I am trying to subscribe to a signal on MT5. However, when I click on "copy signal", nothing happens. Do I have to top up my account first? Is this the reason? Thanks.

In the   deviation/slippage   field, select an option and click   ok   in the   options   window to close it. Go to the   search area   of your mt4 platform, on the upper right corner (where the magnifying glass is), type in the name of the signal you want to subscribe and click   enter

I do not get a "signals" tab in my MT5 options.

Also, the "signals" option is greyed out. See screenshot.

You can't use Signals on a demo account.

Can I copy a signal on a live account, which uses other EAs? Does it need a dedicated account? Thanks.

You can, but you will be interfering with the money/risk management the signal provider uses.

You can always decrease the participation percentage in Signal's copying, in the MT4/5 >> Tools >> Options >> Signals settings.
