Please read previous posts for more explanation about RAS EA'settings. Besides, some necessary information you will find on this thread: Downloads | Rent a Signal

In this post I will try to explain some particular cases.

seller_rentasignal_id. Please note that you should write 1 ID numer only. For selling more than 1 ID - use the other copy of RAS EA.

seller_opt_filter_magic_number and seller_opt_filter_comment are the filters for sellers. In the next versions of RAS EA you can have more filters. But for now - just 2 only.

What the filters are doing?

Sorting by magic number and Sorting by comments

For example, you are having First EA and Second EA traded on 1 copy of Metatrader. Not RAS EAs. Just some your EAs with the name:
- First EA
- Second EA.

All the orders made by First EA are having magic number as 123 and no comments.
All the orders made by Second EA are having magic number as 1234 and all the trades are having the comments as "good one".

RAS EA settings for sorting.

Sorting by magic number (seller_opt_filter_magic_number):

- keep it blank and all the trades will be sent to RAS website;

- write 123 and the trades with magic = 123 will be sent to RAS server. Other trades will not be sent by RAS EA.

- write 1234 and the trades with magic = 1234 will be sent to RAS server. Other trades will not be sent by RAS EA.

- write 123,1234 and the trades with manic 123 and the trades with magic 1234 will be sent to RAS. Seems, all trades which you will have according to our example.

Sorting by comments (seller_opt_filter_comment):

- keep it blank (do nothing) and all the trades will be sent to RAS website;
- write "good one" and only the trades with this comments will be sent to RAS.

Clones are automatic buyers.
Moderator of RAS can install the clones for some particular signal IDs according to the sellers'/buyers' requests, or for top rated signals. Clones are working for some period of time.

If the clone is installed for some ID so you can always find it in simple stats page:

Read more about the clones here: Clones | Rent a Signal

First of all, you need to know which kind of system do you want to use/to buy. There are martingale, hedging, old classical systems and so on. It depends on your deposit size, your personal preferences and risk understanding.

Because please note: the ranking on the signal page is just a sorting only. It means that if the signal ID is on the first position in pips calsulation rating so it does not mean anything. It is just a sorting only. Same with other ratings such as Weekly pips, Total USD and so on. It is the sorting only.

Next step to select the signal: you should go to advances stats page. And you can see the equity, balance, max/min lot size, max/min active trades (max/min simultanious open trades) and so on.
In most of the cases we can easy understand which kind of system the seller is using looking on those parameters.

- If it is difficult to know or to understand - ask on this section: RentaSignal Service and Elite Section Discussion - Forex Trading
- If you need some more stats - ask moderator of RAS to make the stats using Igorad's indicator with the broker you want: this indicator is something more precision tool than advanced stats.

Example.

Please find some example concerning Frank_mod EA (ID #86):

select_the_signals_2002_1.jpg

So, we can see the following:
Can we use 1,000 minimum deposit to trade EURUSD only as we see max lot size 0.64 and max active trades as 9, and if we see floating drawdown about 1,000 dollars?
No, we can not. The initial deposit should be more than 1,000 anyway.

So, just use 'Filter' to place the other initial deposit size.

-----------

Some sellers are using 0.01 lot size only and no more than 3 or 4 simultanious trades. In this case you can use lot multiplier so see the stats/equity/drawdown and so on.

So, basicly, selection of the signals to use is the following:
- personal preferences;
- advances stats playing with initial deposit size, lot multiplier, symbol to use.
- stats images made by moderator by using Igorad's indicator (same case but it is very precision stats).

If you have some difficulties to select something, or to understand something so ask the people on RAS section of the forum, or ask moderator of RAS to explain it.

How to subscribe.

You can subscribe to commercial signals (clicking on 'Subscribe' button):

How to stop using some signals or pair for some time.

If you want simple stop using the signals for some time so use Pause/Resume button in the end of advances stats page of subscribed signals. You can do the same if you want to stop receiving the signals some pair.
You can always start it once again by pressing same button.

Please note.
- Pressing 'Pause' (in the end of advanced stats page of subscribed signals): immediatelt stop receiving the signal for selected pairs or all the signals for all the pairs.
- Cancel in paypal: stop at the end of the paid month (for commercial signals only).

Question. If I subscribed to free ID and the seller edited this ID to be a commercial one so will I pay? For example, I subscribed to free signals and the seller will decide tomorrow that his ID is 20 dollars in a month. Of course he can edite his ID. Will I be pay?
Reply. No, you will not pay. You will continue using for free.

Question. If buyer subscribed to ID with 20 dollars monthly but seller increased the price for 40 so will the buyer pay new price?
Reply. No, he will not pay new price. He will still pay old 20.

Moderation procedure are simple:

- You register with RAS website and create your ID. Your ID will be in pending mode.

- after that moderator of RAS will send email to you informing that your ID is in pending mode now. It means: you can trade but no one can see (you will not have subscribers). Please reply on this email. Because moderator of RAS will not approve your ID without any contact with you.

- after some time of trading (minimum 1 week) moderator can move your ID to approved mode. And you can have subscribers and start to promote your ID creating the thread in this section: http://www.forex-tsd.com/rentasignal...on-discussion/
Please note: no one ID is approved without simple contact between moderator and the vendor (by email, or PM, or by posts on the forum).

- if for some reason vendor is not replying by PM and by email for the long time so his pending ID will be moved to suspended mode.

- moderator is checking approved IDs and pending IDs at least once in a week or month (depends on trading system). Checking ID means the following: checking simple stats and advanced stats on RAS website, checking the stats as excel performance files by using the indicator coded by Igorad, and contact with the vendor.

- if your approved ID did not have any open trades for 1 month and more so it will be moved automatically to suspended mode.

- moderator is trying to confirm with the vendor about every action he (moderator) is doing or going to do with ID of the vendor. If the contact is not possible for the long time (2 weeks or more for example) so moderator is having the right to move this ID to suspended mode.

Signal status:

* set signal status to pending/active/inactive/suspended
o pending = mode of signal by default, signal owner is able to add new orders to this signal but nobody see it except moderator and owner, no way to be subscribed to this signal
o active = totally functional signal
o inactive = owner is not able to add new orders to this signal and no way to subscribe to this signal
o suspended = owner is not able to add new orders to this signal and no way to subscribe to this signal

More to follow ...

Some suggestions made on the other threads:

- do not close your Metatrader with RAS for many hours if you still have open trades with stop loss and/or take profit: this post.

- you are vendor and want to change the broker or account and want for your ID to be continuing with no problem with RAS? Do not do it with open trades in your platform. Disable your EA (if you are using your EA for trading). Wait for the orders to be closed, or close it manually. Wait 1 minutes. Than disable RAS EA (power_on = false) - make sure that you do not have any open trades during this action. After that you can change Metatrader or account installing RAS EA with same settings and ID. Read this post for more explanation.

- I am the buyer and ... how can I know: RAS was stucked on the chart or not? Is it working?
Mouse click on RAS smily face on the chart (or double mouse click). Do you see the window open with the settings? So, it's working. Click "Cancel" than to close the window.

if buyers_opt_filter_signal = 418 so you are trading 418 only;
if buyers_opt_filter_signal = 418,491 so you are trading 418 and 491 by your 1 RAS EA in 1 Metatrader;
if buyers_opt_filter_signal = 418,491,485 so you are trading 418, 491 and 485 by your 1 RAS EA in 1 Metatrader.
