Very good insight on the inner workings.
I know for me, making a $5000 withdrawal daily would be amazing. Currently I fit into the other category of investors with a smaller balance. Its unfortunate that via signalstart that we're unable to connect directly with our signal provider. I'd gladly compensate my provider for good returns or lengthy service.
If there are signal providers out there with stable, sizable returns, Id be more than willing to explore any options.

@stimblo , great tips!
I would also like to emphasize the importance of deposits and withdrawals issue:
When you see that an account made 13,000% percent already, but he has only $100 in his account, and deposited $100,000 and withdrew $999,900, that should give you a red flag.
I am over-exaggerating on purpose, but you really should not pay attention only to the percentage, as many really do.
Having said that, I want to state my set of rules, hoping it will help you or you could sympathize with it and remark on it:
1. Look carefully at the amount in the account. If it is less than what you're willing to put, don't go for it.
2. Look how many months the account has lost in the past 12 months. If it is a number you cannot cope with, don't go there (it doesn't have to be 0 losing months, but for me more than 3 losing months per year, no matter the amount, is just the statistical and psycological red line).
3. Profit factor - a major issue to look at, for signal seekers. Because of slippages and other technicalities, our account will not perform exactly as the signal account, so we want to make sure, no matter the risk we set, that at least we will have enough margin of error and still be profitable.
So my profit factor suggestion is to look for 2.0 and above, not less than that. Ever.
4. Check the monthly bar graph. Estimate how much money (or percentage) you would make each month on your own money, and deduct the monthly signal subscription from it. Verify that is a number you are satisfied with.
5. Use the advanced search criteria. My search criteria are: REAL accounts, which are around for at least 6 months, with drawdown below 50%. Then I go over the list, sorted by percentage, but I disregard immediately every account which doesn't hold my 1-4 rules.
Number of pips does not matter, price does not matter and number of trades do not matter.
Conclusion:
I was reading some of the previous posts here and was really sorry to hear that people lost money using the signals there.
Following the above set of rules and sticking with the same signal for at least a quarter of a year without canceling or moving away and trying something new, should give you ease of mind and satisfaction.
You may even subscribe to several signals at a time, as long as you keep each signal attached with a different account, and don't deviate from the rules.
Don't let large numbers, great looking graphs and on-the-spot decisions to fool you!
Best of luck!
Full Disclosure: I am a signal provider in Signal Start. My set of rules is used to locate my own, but also others who perform better than me, to invest with them and diverge my portfolio.

Signal start seems to be a good option for both beginner traders and experienced traders to mutually benefit each other under specific scenarios, but not always.
If a signal provider will continue to provide very good signals with high percentage returns, then there is always a risk of misuse of trades to get duplicated by one of the followers to copy trades to multiple mt4 accounts.
Also, signal start has certain payment limitations which are not favourable for signal providers. For example, the signal price can be maximum 500 USD which is not good for a signal provider, because everyone will be charged the same price whether someone is having few hundred dollar balance or few thousand or million USD balance.
So most of the high % return signals usually don't last long. Either the accounts get wiped out now or later or the signal provider simply moves to better options like MAM/PAMM services.
Another payment limitation is that it has a maximum limit of 5000 USD withdrawal per day which is not suitable for signal providers with large number of subscribers.
My opinions might be biased a little because I am a signal provider, but what information I mentioned above are simple facts.

Hi fellow investor in Signal Start.
I have been following Signal start for about 2 years now and have seen signals come and go. I have probably lost more than I have won, but now growing my account slowly.
I would like to share some tips I have learned.
1) very rarely multiply and if you do not over 3. (Seriously it may seem like a good idea to multiply; a drawdown of 6 means even if I multiply it to 10 it won’t bust and I will make so much money)
The drawdowns are constantly tested and broken. Don’t forget slippage which usually makes the investor slippage awful. To be honest now I usually multiple by .5 so reduce risk so a blown account by trader still keeps me in the game.
2) focus on saving the money vs. making money. Seriously loosing money is far too easy. Select extremely carefully. Good criteria is not just how long the signal has been around and amount person has invested themselves. Look at the date the signal became available on Signal Start and see how it has performed ever since then. Give it at least a month on Signal start before investing. Also look at the average trade time remember you cannot copy shorter trades. Also look at history, see how often the trader makes deposits and withdrawals, unless they are a PAMM of course.

I have sent them about 6 questions on different occasions, only one of them was not answered because I replied the question was already solved before they could answer. Every other question I had was answered on the same day. I bet they get a lot of questions...

Recently signed up for 'Diamond' as I thought it would be best for my account.
I sent an email Monday night trying to get some information before I signed up. I got a reply this morning after I had already signed up. I sent another email asking a couple questions I couldn't find answers to yesterday afternoon and have not got a reply as of yet.
I would be interested to see how many actual paying customers they have that makes them unable to reply to an email in a timely manner. Also, being able to know a bit more about your signal provider would be beneficial. I can see when they have had multiple signals come out, but other than that, no info. Even a message system within the website would work.

Starting with the good. The connection with the account is very reliable, that's a big plus. There is a constant addition of signal providers, which is also good. Some signal providers are very good, and I would consider SignalStart one of the best places available to find these. Now to the bad stuff. The platform is way too old tech. Parameter options are quite poor compared to some competing platforms. There are outages when needing to change parameters, especially on weekends. For some reason, the related signal providers are not displayed in the table format of the follower's account analysis, even though there are some time consuming manual workaround to this. Customer support does reply within 24hr, but c'mon email only? Like with many other platforms, some signal providers are either utter crap or simply risk-nut-crazy to a point if the staff did a bit more homework they would dismiss some of them systematically even for the more risk-hungry followers. Having said all that, this is my favorite platform and I will continue using it. I hope the company will apply some of the much needed improvements without raising the cost to the subscribers. I believe this platform is still considered "affordable" when you consider its potential, but if cost rises I believe they will see their customer base diminish quickly.

I've read almost this entire topic. Although it is full of positive review-spam, which is pretty much ridiculous, I did subscribe for a signal, one way below in de rankings, not too fantastic results and one with moderate risk, always 0.1 lot size. I manually check each signals trading history and check ther lot sizes. Some show goof performance while trading 0.1 lots but some occasionally go up as high as 50 lots so they are obiously revenge traging or doing some kind of Martingale.
There is a lot to be improved on the site as far as the filtering goes and ways to communicate with a signal provider. It has massive potential!
Overall
Been providing a signal for a couple months now. Connection is really good. Only a couple things I would change:
1. Way to communicate with clients.
2. Rating system explanation (I'm ranked pretty low for what i feel are pretty good stats compared to some I've seen)
3. Sometime in the past, support took a bit longer than i would have liked.
Otherwise great platform! Keep it up!
