Setup guide/Channels and rules
Channels and rules
Pick which channels you trade, send each to one or more MT5 accounts, and set how big each trade is.
Follow channels
- Admin channels are read by SignalHubFX. Open Channels → Browse and click Follow. On Free you can follow 2 channels marked Free.
- Your own channels are the ones you ticked in your connector (step 3). They appear in Channels on their own.
Send each channel to an account
A new channel trades on no account until you choose. Click the channel in Channels and, under Send signals to, tick the accounts. A channel without an account shows No account.
Real and demo side by sideSend a channel to a demo account first. When you trust it, tick the real account too.
Set your rules
Open Trade Rules and pick the account. The settings that matter most at first:
| Setting | A safe start |
|---|---|
| Sizing | Risk per signal, 0.5% (or a fixed lot of 0.01) |
| Use at most | 2 take profits |
| Signal without a stop loss | Skip it, or set one by distance |
| Move SL to entry when TP1 closes | On |
| Maximum spread | Leave empty at first, then set it from what you see |
Every setting is explained in Trade Rules. Changes apply to new signals only.
Your own channel's format
For your own channels, the channel's settings also have a Signal format: the order type when the signal doesn't say, a typical message, and words a message must contain. They help the reader and skip chatter.
