Detailed statistics on a Signal allow assessing it from different perspectives.
To find it, simply click on the provider's showcase.
On the left you can find main trade characteristics of a Signal provider:
"Growth" of funds shows the increase of the initial deposit since the start of trading.
Hover the cursor over this characteristic to get additional information.
Here you can find the initial deposit,
funds deposited and withdrawn from the account during its lifetime and the current equity.
Next comes the information on "Balance" not including open positions and "Profit" generated since the beginning of trading.
The number of subscribers and the funds on their accounts allows you to estimate the amount earmarked for each signal.
The greater the figure, the better.
Maximum drawdown shows maximum reduction of capital as percentage of balance.
The stability of the trading system indicators can be evaluated through the account's lifetime.
The idea behind it is simple - the longer the Signal trades, the more reliable its characteristics are.
The time of the latest trade helps to prevent subscribing to a currently inactive Signal.
The average number of trades per week and holding time indicate what trading style the Signal provider prefers.
The next section concerns the trading account.
Here you can find the name of the broker the provider trades at;
their leverage; trade mode and expected slippage.
This is an indicative characteristic taken from statistics of other subscriptions.
It shows only the potential difference between prices of operations.
At the end there are links leading to the MQL5.com website
where you can visit the provider's page and see details of the specified signal.
That is all for now.
In the next video we shall discuss statistics in the Growth, Balance and Equity tabs.
