How forex signals help people make money without trading themselves

Forex signals were invented to simplify traders’ life and help people make money without actuating trading themselves. Although this description may sound too good to be true and is too short to answer the question “What are Forex signals?” in full, it accurately describes the nature of Forex signals service. Forex signal is a signal to open or close the trade sent from one trader (forex signal provider) to another (forex signal receiver). In forex signals trading, the trades on signal receivers accounts are executed automatically upon receiving the information from signal provider manually upon receiving an email or a text message. It is important to choose a reliable signal trading service, such as MyDigiTrade, to have similar trading results to a signal provider.

Why use forex signals trading?

Copiers prefer forex signals service for it’s simplicity of use. You register with a social trading network or signal provider platform, choose a strategy you would like to follow and the trades from that strategy get copied into your account automatically. Isn’t that a dream?! Unfortunately there are some hidden difficulties you need to be aware of before finding the right signal provider. First of all, past results don’t guarantee the same performance in a future. Secondly, you have to find a strategy that suits the size of your portfolio. For a small portfolio, it makes sense to start with low risk conservative strategies until you have enough margin to tolerate higher drawdowns.

And finally, you need to make sure you are in control of your slippage when receiving each forex signals buy sell order. Ideally, you should be able to set other custom parameters such as auto-close certain trades or conditions to stop following a strategy. Although forex signals real time trading in general is a reliable service, there are some cases when signals gets received with a delay when asset price has already changed (slippage) or gets completely lost  leaving a follower with an open trade that is already closed on the signal provider account. At MyDigiTrade we give copiers the widest amount of control on the market from allocating a fixed percentage of portfolio to a strategy to setting custom Stop Loss and Take Profit limits or strict limits on maximum slippage.

Who are forex signals providers?

MyDigiTrade is aimed to give followers more control over their money, so we have included a lot of additional variables. When following a signal provider, a receiver can set maximum slippage, upon exceeding which trades won’t be copied, custom stop-loss and take-profit or even opt for inverse trading (when this option is selected all trades will be copied in an opposite direction to trades of a signal provider). Inverse trading makes sense only for very bad strategies, which are hard to find on our list, so we don’t recommend using it.

Paid forex signals service

Many forex signals service charge users a monthly fee for being a member of their platform plus a subscription fee for each forex signal a receiver is subscribed to. In this case signal provider determines a fee he wants to charge for forex signals buy sell orders. The fee charged by a forex signals real time providers quite often depends on their popularity and profitability. Reliable and profitable traders usually set higher fees for their service and can be quite expensive.

Forex signals via email or sms VS auto trade copying

Forex signals can be sent to users via variety of channels from email subscriptions or text messages to auto copying. First two options require action from a signal receiver: when you get an email or a text message, you need to open the trade manually. On the one hand, this way a trader has more control over his finances and can decide whether he wants to follow this or that specific forex signal or not. On the other hand, this creates too much pressure on the signal receiver as he never knows when a signal would come and has to stay alert and able to open trades fast at all times. Another major disadvantage is timing. Reacting to a forex signal manually always takes time during which the asset price can change significantly.

In auto trade copying the signals are copied faster and don’t require any action from a signal receiver. When you have stop loss in place and don’t exceed reasonable safety margin you can stay calm and only check your account every now and then, as often as you want to do it or whenever it is convenient for you. This brings a piece of mind to a signal receiver.
