Hi.

I want to subscribe to a signal and VPS.

Following the well documented procedure, (How to subscribe to a Trading signal) I selected Signals in the MT4 platform, selected the signal I wanted, then on Subscribe for x USD (or on MQL5 for payment method).

In the Option dialog box, under the Community tab, entered the login and password, to get the Journal entry "MQL4 Market: failed to get list of user products [401].

The question is, what am I doing wrong? How do I subscribe to a signal and VPS. I can confirm there are funds in the MQL5 account.

Check your password and re-enter again.

Need Help 

Signals provider symbols has 5 digits for example for GBPUSD "1.3058" and my brokers symbols has 6 digits for GBPUSD i.e "1.30586" . Can i copy trades for this signal easily or should i open an account with the same broker ?

You can copy all trades. Read this FAQ about Signals Service

Hi, and thank you for your help.

I have checked the password and re-entered it, several times, but I still get the same result in the journal. 

"MQL4 Market: failed to get list of user products [401].

 MQL5.community: authorization failed

The password I have does seem to be correct because I needed it to deposit funds, and there were no difficulties then.

What are the implications of Authorization failure? 

Thanks,

Ted 

 

A perhaps significant point I have missed out; I have been working from the MT4 platform, selecting Signals from there.

Should I be working through the MQL5.community website? 

Ted 

 

If I have interpreted the message correctly, why is the system looking in MQL4 Market for a list of products, when the signals are not there?

Should it not be looking in MQL4 Signals?

Just for confirmation, the top right of the MQL5 web page shows my username, so I presume I am successfully connected to MQL5.

The trading platform MT4 is version 4.00, build 1010, 16 August 2016,

What am I doing that is not correct?

How do I subscribe to a signal? 

Ted 

 

Please,

I need to monitor slippage between signal provider and my account (let's say every 24h).

What is the easiest way that you see to do that?

Is there any way to uniquely identify a trade on the provider and match it with the (eventual) trade on my account?

I need the help of you that are experts!  :)

Thank you!

and Thank yoy MQL community: you're doing a great job!

Best regards
 
Hello.
To copy signals, do I have to keep mt4 switched on all the time? or copying goes always, even when mt4 is switched off?

Hello.

Signals are copied to the MetaTarder terminal. That's why you need to:

  • either keep the MetaTrader terminal for the desktop version of Windows switched on all the time
  • or rent virtual hosting directly from the terminal.

If you rent virtual hosting built into the terminal, you can switch off your home terminal.
 
I need a straight forward answer to my question: My broker offers trading signals in the terminal,There is a existing list of signal providers but,  I want to use a signal that is NOT in the generic list available in the terminal. I added my broker to find out if signal I want to use on mql5 was compatible and it was,  HOW do I connect the signal I WANT to my mt4 terminal?
 
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to subscribe to free signals if you have a demo account and if possible how?
