Can't subscribe to a free signal with my demo account

New comment
 
Hello,  I login with my MQL5 community. tried to subscribe to a free signal (since demo to demo is possible), but once I click on the button 'Subscribe', I get the message: Subscription failed  and the signal is temporarily disable for new subscriptions. 
That message keeps coming up to every free signal i try to subscribe. What's wrong? What am I doing wrong here?

The Signals service introduces social trading with MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5. The Service is integrated into the trading platform, and allows anyone to easily copy trades of professional traders. Select any of the thousands of signal providers, subscribe in a few clicks and the provider's trades will be copied on your account.
 

I do not know about what was wrong ... it may be something with your trading account (cents account for example, or some other issue),
or broker prohibited the subscription ...

Or something with Community tab filling - because I see "authorization failed, invalid login/password" on your screenshot, and your login is scao (not Scao).
Why scao? Because the link to your profile is  https://www.mql5.com/en/users/scao

or something is wrong with your login/pass to your trading account ( "authorization failed, invalid login/password").

You can't subscribe to a signal when it has an open drawdown larger than 30%.

      You are trying to copy a signal that is not for copying!

      Read the author's comment in the description:

      you cannot copy signals with limit orders! the reason for this is that if my broker's limit orders were not executed, but the subscriber's were executed... then the subscriber's transactions will remain unaccompanied... you will either have a fixed stop loss or a fixed take profit..there will be no floating take profit and forced closures, because the orders were not executed at the author's signal and were deleted... and if you copy it, then only from the same broker as the author

      EDIT: My post was late and I didn't see that @Eleni Anna Branou has already isolated your issue in post . So, please disregard my text below if that is the case.

      According to your screenshot, you have undergone an update to build 1370 today. Was this before or after the problem with not being able to subscribe to the signal?

      Also, your screenshot does not show the section where you successfully connect to the trade server as I showed in my example.

      Can you please show the following 3 things please?

      1. Successful connection to trade server
      2. Successful connection to MQL5 community
      3. "Signals" tab active
