Having problems matching symbol of signal account
Hi,
I am subscribing to signal <name/link of the signal was deletef by moderator> which is trading XAUSUSD on Welstrade. The Symbol has been confirmed.
The subscription is confirmed and paid and it shows in the Navigator pane. My broker is Vantage, their symbol is XAUUSD+. it shows in the Market Watch Pain. Trading is on, everything seems to be a go.
However, it does not take trades as it does on the signal account. In the journal it says "symbol XAUUSD not found".
All information on MQL5 says that it should pick up the symbol XAUUSD+ on my account.
HELP!!!!!
I think - it is related to the mapping. There is some FAQ about it (about why "symbol ... not found"), and make around 300 posts on the forum with explanation about it.
So, I will post a summary now (with the links for official explanation/FAQ and my explanation about how I understand it):
