ERROR: not connected, select from the signals database

[Lexatus82]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to activate a subscription to a free signal provider on my demo account. But I'm having problems.

1. In my MT4, I go on the "Signals" tab and select a signal for free to follow;

2. In the next window, I click on Subscribe for Free;

3. It brings me to the page where I have to insert my password;

4. I insert my password, but nothing happens. No error or anything else;

5. I then click on Tools -> Options -> Community. I check that all my credentials are OK;

6. I then click on Signals from the same Tools -> Options window but I see an error saying "not connected, select from the signals database".

Any suggestions on how to solve the problem? I've already contacted the Service Desk but this same message was market as UNAPPROVED (why?).

 

Thanks.

Did you find a solution to this? I'm experiencing the same problem now too

If you are trying to subscribe to free signal based on your demo account (because you can not subscribe to free signal from your real account) so - check the following steps:

4. You will see lower, in the Terminal Window of your MT4 platform, the results of your search. Click on the name of the signal you want to subscribe. 

 

 

 

5. Click on the green Subscribe for $$ USD button on the right side of your MT4's Terminal Window.
