Copying Signal of Signal Providers

 

Dear Fellas,

I have two questions, please help

1. I have a few demo accounts using MT4 platforms, I have experienced with copying signals of signal providers on MT5 community but I have found out that a few signal providers, although my account has synced with them (reflected by comments synchronization finished successfully in journal), I have not been able to copy their trades, and looking at the journals, for these cases, usually I got like symbol not matching comments, or symbol WSt30_m not found, or different specification of symbol XXXUSD, signal provider has Maximal volume 1000.00, the subscriber has 60.00. For those subscriber providers that I could sync properly but not trading, these are some of the comments I got in journal. Does anyone know why? 

2. I have a few demo accounts using MT4 platforms, all subscribed to different signal providers. am i correct in saying that any one single time, I could ONLY copy one signal and that is with the account logged in? For those other accounts subscribed to other signal providers, and NOT logged in, they will not trade and copy those signal providers that I have subscribed?

Look forward to some answers, thanks.

 

1. When some symbols can't be mapped correctly and you see this "symbol not found" message in the journal, there isn't anything you can really do, except change your broker/server to a more compatible with the signal one.

The different contract specifications don't really affect your copying, its a technicality and its only a warning.

2. Yes, you can only copy 1 signal with each one of your trading accounts that you are currently logged into, but if you use MQL5 VPS for each one of them, you can copy as many signals as you want through the same MT4 terminal.

Thanks a lot, do I need to register VPS for each account, so I need to pay for each account then?
