DRF Signals
Six trading signals, one for each group of markets. Each comes from a demo account at IC Markets that mirrors what I do on my real account. Watch the figures, or copy a signal to your own MetaTrader 5 account with the DRF Key.
Why demo accounts
I am not an authorised financial adviser, so for legal reasons I am more comfortable providing signals from demo accounts. They mirror everything I do on my real IC Markets account, so they behave like live accounts, but nobody risks real money in them. Nothing here is financial advice.
The accounts
- Broker: IC Markets, account type Standard, leverage 1:500.
- Each account started with 1,000 EUR, and its figures are shown in euro.
- The orders come from my master account, where I trade several instruments, some by hand and some automatically. Each order goes to the signal of the matching group.
How it works
- Pick a group below and read its figures.
- Subscribe to the DRF Key. The first 7 days are free; a card is required at checkout and you pay nothing if you cancel during the trial.
- Install the DRF Signal Copier, one Expert Advisor for each signal you want to copy. Test it on a demo account first.
Signal Expert Advisor for each group: not available yet. For now, use the DRF Signal Copier; each group page will say when its own version is ready.

Brokers and hosting I use
I recommend only what I use. I have been a client of IC Markets, IC Trading, FTMO and IONOS for many years.
- IC Markets is the broker of the DRF Signal account, and the broker I use myself.
- IC Trading is my suggestion if you live in Brazil or Europe.
- FTMO is my suggestion if you want a prop firm, anywhere in the world. I use an FTMO Classic account (FTMO Swing), because it leaves me full freedom.
- IONOS is the hosting company. The whole system runs on a Windows Server 2025 VPS at IONOS in New York, close to the broker.
These are affiliate links. If you open an account or buy through them I may be paid a commission, at no extra cost to you. Read the Affiliate Disclosure and the full page. Trading carries a high level of risk; check that a company is authorised in your country before you use it.
Frequently asked questions
- What are the DRF Signals?
- Six signals, one for each group of markets: Metals, Forex Majors, Forex Minors, Indices, Crypto and All Markets. Each one comes from its own demo account at IC Markets. You can watch the figures, or copy the orders to your own MetaTrader 5 account with a DRF Key.
- Why demo accounts and not a real account?
- I am not an authorised financial adviser, so for legal reasons I am more comfortable giving signals from demo accounts. They mirror what I do on my real IC Markets account, so they behave like live accounts, but no real money is at stake in them.
- Where do the orders come from?
- From my master account, where I trade several instruments, some by hand and some with Expert Advisors. Each order is passed to the signal of the matching group. All Markets receives a copy of every order of the other five.
- What are the demo accounts like?
- IC Markets, account type Standard, leverage 1:500, each started with 1,000 EUR. Their figures are shown in euro.
- How do I copy a signal?
- Subscribe to the DRF Key, install the DRF Signal Copier on MetaTrader 5 and enter your key. You can follow several signals by using one Expert Advisor for each. Test on a demo account first, then use a real account only when everything works as you expect.
- Is there a free trial?
- Every new DRF Key starts with a free trial of 7 days. A card is required at checkout; if you cancel during the trial you pay nothing.
- Is there a separate Expert Advisor for each signal?
- Not yet. A signal Expert Advisor for each group is planned. Until then the DRF Signal Copier is the one to use, and each group page will say when its own version is ready.
- How do you trade?
- I mostly trade with micro lots and open several orders. Sometimes a loss is larger than usual and is then recovered by a series of small wins, and I aim to close each week in positive territory, although some weeks I do not. This is how I trade. It is not a rule of any service and it is not a promise of results.
- Is this financial advice?
- No. Nothing on these pages is advice or a recommendation. Trading carries a high level of risk and you can lose more than you expected. Read the Risk Disclosure before you copy anything.
