Hi VincentX,

Have a look at this post, I had a conversation with my broker regarding this matter.

In my terminal, I could not see the Signals tab when checking my live account, so I logged into the MetaQuotes demo account and the Signals tab appeared in the toolbox !
 

Thanx All!
 

Can we please have some clarity on what's happening with the Money Management settings in the Signals tab?

The tab now looks quite different to the screenshot in the article.

 

Specifically, if the Signals source uses a fixed lot size, how does the Subscriber set a higher (or lower) lot size?

I feel that is something that should be easy for the Subscriber to do.

Now signal also works in MT4. Please read this https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/8567 and this in mql4 forum https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/142071 . Ask your broker to update it's MT4.

On the other hand, you can become a signals provider yourself and earn additional profit.
 

Is it possible to change the lot sizes of the signal given by the provider.

Thanks to anybody who can help. 

 

Does anybody knows how the system will calculate % of deposit, which is in Options=>Signals tab? (I am on MT4, build 451, and I can subscribe to signals). Eg I had USD5000 acct and leverage of 500:1, how does system calculate if I placed eg 5 into this box?

Here's about "Use no more than _____ % of deposit", https://www.metatrader5.com/en/terminal/help/signal_subscriber  , you have scroll far down, though :

"percentage value of your deposit that can be used for following provider's signals. For example, if your balance is 10 000 USD and 90% is specified here, then 9 000 USD will be used for following the signals. This affects the calculation of volumes of the deals performed when following the signals. The volume is calculated proportionally. See "Signal Subscribers"section for more information.
