- Language: Choose English, French, Spanish or Brazilian portugues (contact me if need more)
- Rounding digits: How to display currency values. By default, digits=0, means rounded to the nearest integer (e.g 35€ instead of 35.23€)

Integration with your own indicators and experts
This utility can be used by your own indicators and EA to send signals to Telegram. They just have to create a text file, containing the signal, to the following directory:
<Data Folder>/Telegram Alerts/<Your trading account Number/signals
You can use the following code in your indicator or EA:
string directory="Telegram Alerts/"+IntegerToString(AccountInfoInteger(ACCOUNT_LOGIN))+"/signals";
string filename="Test.txt";
string signal="BUY EURUSD 1.20202 SL=1.201 TP=1.203";
saveStringFile(signal,directory+"/"+filename);
bool saveStringFile(string s,string fileName)
{
int handle=FileOpen(fileName,FILE_WRITE|FILE_TXT);
if(handle==INVALID_HANDLE)
return(false);
FileWriteString(handle,s);
FileClose(handle);
return(true);
}
It took me 5 minutes to setup. Seems to be downloading all my order from the last couple of days. So far it is great. It look very professional in Telegram. I am excited to see how it works once I send a trade.
