Signals

Traders can trade using trading signals - instead of generating signals of their own using indices systems traders can sub-scribe trading signals from other profitable traders & copy the trades of the signal service providers. Trading using signals is sometimes also called copy paste trading.

A signal service such as the MQL5 copy signal service is provided by the makers of MT4 software. Skilled traders are able to create their signal service and other traders can then subscribe to those signals from the MQL5 signal service directly in their MT4 software.

Once the signal service providers generates a trade signal the trade is then automatically copied & sent to the trader's account and similar trades are also opened on the trader's account. These trades will remain open until when signal service provider closes them & on the trader's account the transactions will also automatically be closed.

The handbook - MQL5 signals - can be studied by signals traders to learn and know more. Experienced and lucrative traders who trade the trading market utilizing their accounts with money invested in them produce these signals. These traders have become signal service providers after successfully completing a one-month period to demonstrate that their system is profitable.

EAs

Automated trading plans for indices are known as Expert Advisors(EAs) or EA or Bots. Stock traders use these bots to create automated trade signals that will make stock trades for the trader based on certain trading rules.

When those conditions hit, the EA starts a trade. It uses other settings to figure out when to close the position.
