What is so special about MQL5 signals?
- Signing up for this service is very simple; you can start trading by clicking very few buttons. Just sign up for this service, install the terminal, select a signal provider and voila, your trading will begin!
- There are multiple payment options available to a trader to carry on his / her activities.
- As a trader, one does not have to conclude any agreement with the provider. You just need to agree to the pricing and trading terms of the signal provider.
- One does not have to pay any commissions to the providers, pay only for what you have agreed when signing up for the service.
- Signal providers are allowed in the provider market after thorough checks to ensure that only profit making providers enter the provider market.
- Chances of loss are less since you just need to select a provider with a track record meeting your expectations and copy their signals on to your terminal and enable real-time synchronization. You will automatically start copying your signal provider.
- The MetaTrader platform is very secure and anonymous. You do not have to worry about your privacy since none of your information is visible to the signal providers.
- There is no requirement that you and your signal provider have an account with the same brokerage company. You have the freedom to choose your own brokerage company.
- This signal provider market is the largest market available. You can choose from thousands of successful traders who are providing their signals in the market.
- Traders can also copy the Stop Loss and Take Profit Levels of the signal provider. This turns out to be a real good advantage if you are new to trading and do not know when to Stop Loss and when to book profits. Make sure your signal provider is trustworthy though.
- You also have the option to mention the percentage of amount you want to be utilized for trading from the amount you have deposited with signal provider. This helps in stopping unexpected losses and keeping a buffer amount with you. This feature is called “Use no more than [A] %”
- Another wonderful option in this terminal is “Stop if Equity is less than [B]”. It will stop all activities if your equity level falls below a pre-specified level. All your positions will be auto-closed and pending orders will be removed too. This allows you to limit your losses since there is not limit for losses in the trading market. You can also set no limitations by keying in Zero (0) in the limit field.
- There is another setting in the terminal called “Deviation/Slippage [C] spreads”. This setting is similar to deviation set when orders are placed from the terminal. This is the value of the permissible deviation of the executed order price from the price initially requested by the client terminal when copying a trading operation. Orders will not be executed if the price deviation exceeds the set parameters. The terminal will keep looking out for order execution at the specified deviation level after a while and execute the order once found.
