Specifying account number for a new signal

 

Hi

 Quick question.  Trying to subscribe to new signal but MQL is trying to add it to an existing account.  It seems that the latest one opened becomes the dominant one ?  I cant logout of MQL for this account  and then login to the account that I want the new signal to attach to ?How can I specify an account number for it to attach to. 

Many thanks

You can go the other way around and start the subscription process from the account platform you want to use for subscription.

Follow the instructions below:

1. Register a MQL5 account: https://www.mql5.com/en/auth_register 

2. Open your MT4 platform and go to Menu >> Tools >> Optios and click on the Community tab. There you put your Login and Password of your MQL5 account and click OK.

 

 

 

3. 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.

 

 

 

4. You will see lower, in the Terminal Window of your MT4 platform, the results of your search. Click on the name of the signal you want to subscribe. 

 

 

 

5. Click on the green Subscribe for $$ USD button on the right side of your MT4's Terminal Window.

 

 

 

6. Select the paymet method and complete payment for your subscription.

7. In the Options >> Signals window that opens, tick the following options:

 

 

 

  • Agree to the terms of use of the signals service
  • Enable real time signal subscription
  • Copy Stop Loss and Take Profit levels
  • Synchronise positions without confirmations

8. In the Use no more than: ...... of your deposit (95% maximum) field below, put the percentage of your capital, you want to participate in signal's copying.

9. In the Stop if equity is less than: ...... field, put the amount of your capital, you want to preserve, or leave it empty. 

10. In the Deviation/Slippage field, select an option and click OK in the Options window to close it.

11. Now you have completed the subscription process and the only thing you need is a VPS (Virtual Hosting) in order to copy the signal 24/7 without having your MT4 platform open all day long. 

12. Go to your account details in the Navigator window of your MT4 platform, right click in your account number or name and select the option Register a Virtual Server.

 

 

 

13. In the Virtual Hosting window that opens, click Next, then Next again, select the VPS with the lower Ping, ms value (right side of window) and click Next.

14. Select your payment plan for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months, tick the: I agree to the virtual hosting service rules and the auto renewal option below (if you want) and click Next.

15. Complete your payment for the VPS Service and you are done.  

 

Hi Eleni

 

Thank you very much indeed.  

Didnt realise that the magnifying glass can be used to find signals.  It feels a bit clunky doing this way, cant help thinking there must be a way of just specifying which account a signal is attached to but never mind, I've got it attached to the MT4 I want it attached to and its now up and running and receiving signals so all is good.

Thanks again.

No, there is no other way to subscribe a specific account to a specific signal, I am afraid.

The MQL5 system open a MT4 platform in your computer by default and this is not always the platform you want.

Yeah, i also had that problem. The solution is to open the signals from Firefox, from there you can select the desired platform.

Well done Shehbaz, that's very useful to know!

I've tried it Shehbaz, but its just opens a MT4 platform by default, it doesn't give you choice.

Maybe you only have only one MT4 from one broker, so you don't encounter this specific problem.
