Is signal selling profitable ?

Hi

I created quite a few profitable trading systems with neural networks,evolutionary algorithms (particle swarm etc...) and machine learning techniques.I usually prefer to trade H1,M30,M15 in mullti-time frame mode.Recently I had this idea of selling one of my profitable system in 4H time frame to get some extra income.I am not thinking to sell a complete system.So It is not going to have money managment, risk managment and order managment features.There will be ony market direction (buy or sell signal) .I will have the right to withdraw the system. I checked the mql5 signal providers web site https://www.mql5.com/en/signals most of the signal providers dont' even have a subscriber!Which is discouraging.What do you think of being a signal provider?Is it worth all the trouble?

Why not. As Long as you trust and confident with your signal. Maybe some evidence from your real account will get you some audience. (sorry for my weak english)

Most of the signal providers in mql5 site dont' even have a subscriber.What is the general situation in the signal subscripton market?How many subscribers a good signal provider gets per month?

Did you look a bit harder, to find out why those(most) signal providers have no subscribers?

Let me give you a few reasons for not having subscribers, from investor's perspective:
- the signal is new, not enough history, too much ' luck factor'
- the signal already has too high drawdown
- signal account with a little known or scam broker
-signal is on demo account ( manager has little trust his own work)
- signal is on cent account ( no real commitment)
- signal is on tiny real account ( no real commitment)
- signal is priced too high vs return%
- monthly returns show too wide distribution
- signal has no subscribers
- signal has few subscribers , but reviews are bad
- provider has too many signals, no real strategy, but trial and error

And I am sure there is couple more, depend what is an investor's priority.

On the other hand, there are few signals that attract 100+ subscribers, and some of them I would never consider to be half decent.
100x 20$ a month is 2000$...
Makes you wonder why the "manager" runs his strategy on a 200$ account, without adding funds...
Nevertheless, I think some top signals show approx 700 subscribers, that equal to 14000$ ( yep, 14k) income from selling it...makes one think it is a great business for some.

If your system is good, the priority still should be able to trade your money on it.
If you don't have money, tough luck
Unfortunately, most of those looking for signals on the net are in the same situation.
Having a 200$ account, even if a signal makes a steady 10% monthly and sub cost 20$....the result for the subscribers are zero!

It depends on your target.
Easy money from subscribers can be easily achieved with an account containing some impressive %, don't trade too much, make some huge aspirations publicly and you'll be surprised how many subscribers you could have. There are so many dreamers that have <100$ and looks to make x...x%. This type of accounts are usually followed by 10 - 20 subscribers and the subscribers money is less than 2 digits by subscriber. OK, some of them are doing for a test...

Serious investors that are willing to put a few k know better what they want from the provider and here the hunt is harder as you have to be profitable for yourself first, chick tricks might not work so easily, it's a long term battle...
