Copy Trading
Social trading and copying trades of successful traders, as well as sale of in-house trading signals have become an integral part of the modern market of foreign exchange services. Realizing the need of traders for such applications, the MetaQuotes company developed the trading signals service for the MetaTrader platform which allows the trader not only copy the trades of successful providers but also become a trading signals provider and receive regular remuneration from subscribers.
The MetaQuotes trading signals service gives every trader an opportunity to receive remuneration for each trade copied from him/it from a limitless number of subscribers. In turn, clients who desire to copy trades of successful traders can subscribe for trading signals right in the MetaTrader terminal; afterwards, a provider's trades will be copied to the subscriber's account in automatic mode.
The service developers paid special attention to the investment security of subscribers, having introduced additional filters for signal providers. For real accounts, it is not permitted to copy trades from trading accounts whose leverage is above 1:500. Also, in order to protect investors from dishonest signal providers, the service administration runs a check of identification documents. After registration, the provider's name and last name become publicly accessible in his profile, so that the safety and transparency of the service increases, in general.
