How Do I Trade with Signals & Expert Advisors EAs
Traders use signals to spot trades, but they can also choose signals or EAs, known as Expert Advisors. Both methods suit online trading well. Those who pick them often hunt for the top EA or gold signal. For EAs, check the MQL5 community forum library of bots. For signals, see the list of top gold providers. These are skilled traders on MT4 who share profitable signals. You can subscribe and use them for your trades.
Signals
Traders can trade using signals, which are sometimes referred to as copier trading. This means that instead of creating their own trade signals using gold trading systems, traders can subscribe to the trading signals of other successful traders and replicate their trades.
A gold signal service like the MQL5 copy trading copy signal service is setup by owners of MT4 platform software. Profitable traders can then setup their signal service & others can then subscribe to these signals from the MQL5 signal service direct from the MT4 platform software.
Once signal providers issue a trading signal, the trade is automatically replicated and transmitted to the trader's account, where similar trade positions are established. These trades will remain active until the signal provider decides to close them, at which point the corresponding positions in the trader's account will also be automatically closed.
Traders can learn more about trading signals by reading the lesson titled - MQL5 gold signals. These signals are produced by successful and seasoned traders who use their own funds to trade the market and who have demonstrated their system's profitability by completing a month of trading before becoming signal providers.
EAs
Automated strategies for gold trading are called Expert Advisors (EAs) or Robots. Online traders use these robots to get trading signals that will automatically buy and sell based on the rules that are set.
When conditions match, the expert advisor starts a trade. It has other rules to decide when to close positions.
The best place to get started for people who want to learn how to program and create their own EA Bots is the MQ5 forum for EA coders. This online forum also has a collection of many Automated Expert Advisors that traders can download: some are free, and some cost money. Traders can try out the ones for sale using a practice version to see how they work in the MT4 strategy tester, which helps them decide if they want to buy the Expert Advisor.
