signal

 

I see the following on my account page and need explanation

1. "Authorisation failed.Please check trading account data."

2. Placed to archive

Signal is available to public, monitoring is disabled  AND

3. "Subscription is free". Does it mean someone can copy my trades for free?

1: Check login credentials, account number,investor password,broker and server so they all match that you have typed in when you created your signal

2: Signal archived, due to inactivity or some thing else

3: Free means your signal is created on a demo account and demo accounts always free, only real can be paid

Hi Kenneth, my account is REAL and not demo

check these settings and set a subscription price for your signal, guess that should solve your 'free' problem

If "monitoring is disabled" based on "Authorisation failed. Please check trading account data" so the signal was "Placed to archive" (according to your first post).

And as a result - I do not see any signal in your profile -

Demo accounts are indentified automatically and even as Kenneth suggested click on the Real account option, I doubt that your signal will be published as a paid one.
