Signal Sharing is currently in beta, and we’d love for you to try it and share your feedback to help us improve. At the moment, you can share signals privately or with other MetaCopier members. A marketplace for signal sharing is planned for late 2025.
Welcome to the Signal Sharing feature! If you want to share your trading activity with friends, colleagues, or the MetaCopier community, this guide will help you understand how it works. We'll walk you through all the features and settings step by step.
The Signal Sharing feature has two main roles:
Signal Provider – Shares trading activity with others.
Signal Follower – Copies trading activity from a provider.
If you only want to follow trades, go straight to the section. If you want to share your trading operations with others, keep reading.
There are no special requirements. You just need to have a trading account added to MetaCopier to start using Signal Sharing.
As a Signal Provider, you can share your trading operations with others. The use of the Signal Provider is free: there are no monthly or setup costs. Before you start, ensure that your trading account is added on the Accounts page.
Next, in the left-side navigation menu, open the "Signal Provider" page.
Now, you can add a new provider. Below, you'll find all the configuration settings. Adjust them according to your preferences to set up your signal provider.
Name: The display name for your signal provider profile. Choose a name that reflects your trading style or focus, so followers can easily recognize and identify your signals.
Description: A short summary of your trading strategy or approach. Use this field to give potential followers an idea of what to expect from your signals, including any specific methods, goals, or markets you specialize in.
Monthly Subscription Fee: The amount charged to followers on a monthly basis for access to your signals. Set a competitive price based on the value and insights you provide, or leave it blank if you want to offer free access.
Profit Sharing Fee: An optional fee based on the profits generated by followers using your signals. This allows you to earn a percentage of your followers' profits, providing an incentive tied directly to performance.
Copier: Select the specific account you want to use for sharing signals.
Allow Override Copier Settings: Enable this option if you want followers to customize certain copier settings, such as risk parameters or trade sizes. Allowing overrides gives followers flexibility while using your signals.
Use MetaCopier as Payment Provider: Select this option to have MetaCopier manage payments on your behalf. When enabled, MetaCopier collects payments from followers, either through a subscription fee or profit-sharing arrangement, and transfers the funds to you. Please note that MetaCopier retains a 30% service fee from each transaction. For users with significant transaction volume, we offer more favorable terms. If you process a high volume of transactions, please contact us to discuss customized pricing. KYC/KYB verification is required for this payment option. The fee covers:
Payment provider processing fees
Credit card fees & crypto fees
Applicable taxes based on the follower’s country
Administrative and compliance costs, including transaction handling and payouts
Currency conversion fees (if applicable)
Chargeback and dispute handling
Is Public: Mark this setting if you want your signal provider profile to be visible and searchable by other users. If set to private, only users with direct access will be able to view and follow your signals.
Allow Customers: If the signal is private, specify the email addresses of customers you wish to grant access. Only users with these listed email addresses will be able to view and subscribe to your private signals.
Now, your signal provider should be successfully configured with your account. From this point on, your signal can be followed by others.
Please note that the monthly subscription fee and the profit-sharing fee cannot be changed once set. This is to protect followers, so they don’t get any unexpected charges.
If you need to change the fees, you’ll have to create a new signal provider. In the case of a private signal, you can contact us directly. We’ll review your request, and if the change doesn’t negatively affect customers, we may approve and update it.
Let’s look at a few examples to understand how much money you can earn with a signal provider. In the first example, assume that one follower starts following your signal in the middle of the month. For simplicity, let’s also assume that the month has 30 days and there is no profit-sharing fee.
Monthly Subscription Fee
50 USD
Days of subscription
15 days
Prorated earnings
(50 USD / 30 days) * 15 days
25 USD
MetaCopier Fee
30% of 25 USD
7.50 USD
Net Earnings
25 USD - 7.50 USD
17.50 USD
Another example: assume you have 10 followers, all of whom started following at the beginning of the month:
Monthly Subscription Fee
50 USD
Days of subscription
30 days
Prorated earnings
(50 USD / 30 days) * 30 days
50 USD
MetaCopier Fee
30% of 50 USD
15 USD
Net Earnings
50 USD - 15 USD
35 USD
Net earnings with 10 followers
10 * 35 USD
350 USD
By clicking on the settings menu, you can access various functions related to your signal.
In the follower menu, you can view all accounts that are currently following your signal.
In the follower settings, you can review the settings for specific accounts. You also have the option to suspend a follower, giving you full control.
Here, you can download an Excel report containing all accounts and their details for a specific month. The report includes identification, balance, equity, net profit, and other relevant information.
The Earnings Report shows the net amount you have earned by selling your signal and receiving payouts through MetaCopier. Please note that if the option 'Use MetaCopier as payment provider' is set to false, this report will be empty. Below is an example.
The earnings report only includes paid fees. If the customer does not pay the invoice, the profit sharing will not be included
Your earnings will be credited to your project at the beginning of each month. If you wish, you can then request a payout to your bank account via IBAN. Please note that a KYC verification is required before any payout can be processed.
To start receiving trading operations from signal providers, you first need to add a trading account to your project. Once your trading account is set up, you can enable the Signal Follower feature.
If you are following a signal with profit sharing, please use a dedicated account exclusively for this purpose. Do not use this account for other expert advisors (EAs) or manual trading, as the profit calculation includes all trades executed on the account.
Select then "Signal follower"
In the window, you can select your signal provider. Be sure to review the description and fees section, if applicable.
Please note that the total cost of following a signal includes:
A MetaCopier account fee (approximately $8 per month).
Any subscription fee and/or profit-sharing fee set by the signal provider.
Make sure to check these details before subscribing.
If the signal provider allows it, you can customize certain settings in the copier. For example, you can reduce your risk by 50% by setting the multiplier to 0.5. Adjust these settings based on your trading strategy and risk tolerance.
You're all set! As soon as the signal provider executes a trade, it will be automatically copied to your account.
If needed, you can also set a risk limit or enable additional features to better manage your trades.
