Hello, how do I know which asset the sign operates on? This information is not available on the signal's page. Does the signal choose the asset automatically? Thank you.
 
Guys, I signed up for a signal and it's on a demo account and how do I change it to a real one, on the computer of the guy I signed up for the signal is active but on my computer it says that it has been contracted for a demo account, how do I solve it? Thank you
 
Can you add a stop loss to a trade that you have copied from a signal ?

As far as I know, it will be removed upon synchronization with the signal subscription.

 
Why is there only a monthly fixed payment option? Why is there no option of interaction "Percentage of subscriber's net profit" as in other copytrading systems? This is the only and logically correct form of interaction with subscribers. No profit - no payment.

And what happens if the Profit for the month turned out to be less than the subscription cost? Will the subscriber still lose the subscription price? For example, the subscription costs $100, the subscriber at the end of the month received $60 in profit, so he ends up with -$40? And the only way to combat this is to increase the deposit, right? This is NOT very flexible.

On the other hand, if a subscriber has a deposit of 10.000$, he received 2.000$ of net profit for a month and paid 50$ for subscription. In this case there is an under-receipt for the trader.

Whichever way you look at it, the option to interact with a percentage of the subscriber's profit is the most honest and transparent option. Why isn't it available?
 
Suppose my deposit load is 500 with leverage 100:1 whereas provider's balance is 356 with the same leverage of 100:1 so the max open lots are 1.3. Now keeping the required margin of each FX pair in mind, it will be around $150-200 for 1.3 lots which is up to 40% of my balance and certainly not recommended for risk management pov. What would you recommend in this situation?

I don't understand, what are you asking?

Reference to deal volume, how to make sure that there is enough free margin to cater to floating drawdown without having margin call.

The deposit loads you mentioned are huge, lower your participation percentage in signal's settings (lower than the 95% maximum).

With such lot sizes and deposit loads, the margin call is inevitable.

I just applied the formula: (500/358) * 1 = 1.3 lots. Pls correct me the formula needs to incorporate the required margin effect also.
