Signals : Ask & Say Anything & Everything About MQL5 Trading Signals - page 4

 

Thank you so much for your help phi.nuts ,

I was finally able to cut the signals from 0.50 to 0.10 lots each , by increasing leverage from 1/100 to 1/500....   the % thing just did not work for me. And about the signal's tab disappearing , the broker just opened a case and will reply soon :)

 

Would MetaQuotes consider changing the subscription price from fixed value to a percentage of the subscriber's balance with a minimum fixed amount.  I think it is not fair for small accounts to pay the same fee as big accounts.

 

Hai phi.nuts......

How to set up my signal only for certain people? 

I was IB, i offer free copying to my client and i use MQL5 to bridge.

I want my signal only for people who register on the broker through my IB link.

I agree with that. User myfxpt also makes several suggestion about signal fee in here https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/8766

However, I think it's better to write to service desk.

Currently there's no way to do that :(. 

Maybe, setting up higher signal fee and then offering a refund when the subscriber decided open an account through your IB link. The problem is, the higher fee and IB may not as competitive with smaller fee signal - unless you have profitable signal.

thank you for your help and advice

 

3 things related to publishing trades with the Signals program for metatrader 4 accounts:

1) there are brokers who offer greater than 1:500 leverage.  Can users be allowed to copy these accounts soon?  Maybe an additional disclaimer is required to be accepted, but I am ok with this.

2) Is it possible to have an additional validation of the trading account used?  such as  technique where you require a dummy pending trade with a generated code in the comments to verify the Publisher has permission to trade the account?

3) I get an error in one of my metatrader 4 journals:  "2012.12.16 11:33:34    'xxxxx': Signal - failed parse json data".  It seems to be about every 1-2 hours or so.  But I was getting this error a day or 2 BEFORE i signed up to get the account published.  Any ideas as to why I would receive this error?  I cannot confirm if it is related to copying systnals

This account is NOT copying any signals.  But just a few minutes ago I signed up as a signal provider.  I was looking through the journal and noticed that even before I signed up, I was getting this error.

edit:  one more thing.  I cannot connect to one of the trading servers in IBFX Australia (demo)  IBFXAU-MT4-ID01

I am sure the username and (investor) password information is correct.  My mt4 connection is just fine.

1. Hope so. You asked that in here (https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/9050#comment_388339) and I answer that, just below it, in there (https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/9050#comment_388383).

2. AFAIK, there's no need for additional validation of trading account. You do read the signal rules (https://www.mql5.com/en/signals/rules) right .

3. You may want to ask that to Service Desk and IBFX-AU.

3) actually had nothing to do with IBFX-AU.  The IBFX AU is a separate problem.  I setup the signal for an IBFX account and the mql5 signals site fails to connect to server

IBFXAU-MT4-ID01.  I have to type it in manually (it does not automatically come up in the list) 

I did ask what I think is the service desk via email.  Can you provide the exact url to the metaquotes service desk online?

Go to your profile page (by clicking your user name), and at the left side look for "Service Desk".
