Introduction | Don’t Just Copy a Signal—Make It Your Own

Most traders think that subscribing to a VIP signal service guarantees success. But even the best signal won’t work for everyone.

Why? Because every trader has a different system.

In this MFA Signals guide, you’ll learn how to take any Forex signal—and align it with your personal strategy for long-term growth and better results.

Why Should You Customize Signals?

A signal is public. Your plan is personal.

Here’s what varies between traders:
• Account size
• Risk profile
• Timeframe preference
• Trade frequency and style
• Emotional and financial goals

Using a signal blindly is like wearing someone else’s glasses—it might look clear to them, but not to you.

How to Combine a Forex Signal with Your Trading Plan

1. Match the Timeframe

Does the signal align with your preferred chart? Don’t follow a 15M setup if you trade H4.

2. Check the Risk-to-Reward Ratio

If your system requires 1:2 or higher, make sure the signal setup respects that.

3. Adjust the Position Size

Signals are often based on large accounts. Always resize for your capital.

4. Consider Your Trading Psychology

Can you mentally handle a 50-pip drawdown? Don’t take signals that make you anxious.

5. Run It Through Your Plan

Your trading plan is your filter. If the setup doesn’t align—skip it.
