MQL5 Signals is a service integrated into MetaTrader 5 (MT5) that allows traders to automatically copy the trades of experienced and successful traders. Essentially, it's a platform where traders can offer their trading strategies for others to follow.
Here's how it generally works:
Signal Providers: These are experienced traders who offer their trading signals for a subscription. They trade on their accounts, and their trades are automatically copied to the accounts of subscribers.
Subscribers: These are traders who choose signal providers to follow. They subscribe to a signal, and their MT5 account will automatically execute the same trades as the signal provider.
MQL5 Community: The service is part of the larger MQL5 community, which is a community of traders and developers centred around MetaTrader platforms. Traders can discuss trading strategies, share ideas, and even develop custom indicators and automated trading systems.
MQL5 Signals can be a convenient way for less experienced traders to benefit from the expertise of more seasoned traders without needing to actively manage their trades. However, as with any trading strategy, subscribers need to do their own research and due diligence before choosing a signal provider to follow.
