Hi, I subscribed to a mql5 signal provider, the problem is that it doesn't copy my trades, it tells me symbol not found, I lost problem with two providers, please note that I want to copy on two different brokers, on one for for example, I get the symbol not found message on usdcad, on another on Sp500 which on my brokerage calls us500, on the latter I can understand, but on the first? Maybe I need to change some settings?
- Frequently Asked Questions about the Signals service
- The Provider has trading symbol that is called something different on my Broker
- Can you help me please.

If you have this "symbol not found" issue (which is written in Metatrader journal or in MQL5 VPS journal in case you are using MQL5 VPS) so it may be related to the mapping.
As the users are asking about mapping every day (for several times in a day) and as I am posting same same reply all the time so I will provide you the link about it where you can get the information:
