You don’t need a script.

In MT4 go to Tools → Options → Signals and enable “Use custom symbol settings” or similar option depending on build.

If that’s not available, the only real fix is symbol mapping via a trade copier that allows you to map XTIUSD to WTI.

Otherwise you can’t directly subscribe if the symbol names don’t match. It’s a broker naming issue, not a signal issue.

Most brokers label crude oil differently, so WTI, XTIUSD, and USOIL are often the same market with different symbol names. Before copying signals, confirm contract specs match, especially tick value and trading hours
