signal subscription, how does it really work?

[vachikg]

Hello All,

 

I have a few questions.

 

1. When I subscribe to a signal, and the signal does a few trades, and then I unsubscribe... Will my trades get sold eventually if they don't have a stop-loss? Since I am no longer subscribed, does that mean I have to manually sell them?

2. When I am subscribed to a signal, do I have to enable "Auto Trader"?

3. When I look at my signals trades, I don't see them fully reflected in my trade tab? Why is there a missmatch between my trades in MT4 and what's on the MQL5 website for that signal?

4. About question 3, could it be that my broker does not support the kind of trades the signal does? thus the missmatch?

5. Is it recommended to register with same broker as the signal provider? Please share your insight on this.

 

thank you all!

Concerning signals ... I see some members asked about how to unsubscribe from the signals. I subscribed to some free signal 3 days ago (with no problem so far). Just some information/topics about the signals which I collected about signals:
