Telegram To MT4/MT5 Receiver

Getting started

Setup takes about five minutes. You install two pieces of software on the same Windows PC (or VPS): the MetaTrader EA and the Telegram Receiver app. The EA must be running before the Receiver can do anything useful.

What You Need

How it works

When someone posts a signal in Telegram, the Receiver app picks it up and passes it to MetaTrader. The copier on your chart reads the message and opens or changes trades based on the rules you set (lot size, stop loss, take profit, and so on).

The Receiver only sends signals while it can see that your MetaTrader copier is running. If you remove the copier from the chart or turn off automated trading, copying stops for safety.

Set up MetaTrader (MT4 or MT5)

Install the copier

1. In MetaTrader, open File, then Open Data Folder. Copy the Telegram To MT5 (or MT4) files into the Experts folder shown in your install instructions.
2. In the Navigator list on the left, right-click Expert Advisors and choose Refresh. You should see Telegram To MT5 or Telegram To MT4.
3. Open Tools, Options, Expert Advisors. Turn on Allow algorithmic trading. Click OK.
4. On the toolbar, make sure the Algo Trading button is on (green).

Old Telegram bot method

If you see an option to connect with a bot token and chat ID, leave it off if using the telegram receiver app.

Install the Telegram Receiver app

1. Run the installer or exe file from your DaneTrades download.
2. If Windows asks whether you trust the app, choose to run it if you downloaded it from DaneTrades.
3. The first time you open the app, you may see a screen that asks you to connect MetaTrader. That is normal. Follow the next section.

Only open one Telegram Receiver app at a time.

Link MetaTrader to the app

The app needs your chart copier to be running before you can use the rest of the program.

1. Open MetaTrader and sign in to your account.
2. Drag Telegram To MT5 (or MT4) from the Navigator onto any chart. The symbol on that chart does not matter for the link.
3. In the copier settings, turn Enable Telegram To MT5 (or MT4) on. Make sure Algo Trading is on. You should see a happy face on the chart corner, not a red X.
4. Wait up to 30 seconds. The “Connect MetaTrader” screen in the Receiver app should close by itself.

On the Copying tab you should see something like “EA connected” with your account number. If you remove the copier from the chart or turn off Algo Trading, the app will stop copying until you fix it.

Log in to Telegram

Click Account in the left menu.

1. Type your phone number with country code (example: +447700900123). Press Send.
2. Enter the code you get in the Telegram app. Press Verify.
3. If Telegram asks for your password, enter it and press Submit.
4. Keep Stay logged in on if you want the app to remember you next time.

When you are in, you will see Connected on the Account page and “Telegram connected” at the bottom of the menu.

Pick which channels to copy

Click Channels in the left menu.

1. Press the refresh button to load your Telegram channels, groups, and chats.
2. Search or sort the list to find your signal providers. Click a name to select it (tick mark).
3. Select every place you want signals from. The app shows how many you picked.

Filter on the chart (optional)

The MetaTrader copier can also limit which channel names it trades. If you turn that on in the chart settings, only channels you allow there and in the Receiver app will copy.

Start copying signals

1. On the Channels page, press Start copying. The button turns green while it is running.
2. Open the Copying tab to watch each channel: last message time and a short preview.
3. New Telegram posts should show up in MetaTrader as trades or updates, depending on your chart settings.

A green bar at the bottom of the app tells you how many channels are active. Messages about closing trades, moving stop loss, or taking profit are handled when the copier recognises them.

Smart signal processing

On the Copying tab, each channel has a switch called Smart signal processing.

On (recommended for most channels): The app tidies up messy Telegram text before MetaTrader sees it. It looks for things like buy/sell, symbol, entry, stop loss, take profit, and close or modify instructions. It also skips obvious spam or promo posts.

Off: The full Telegram message is sent as written. Use this if your provider uses a very fixed format and you want the chart copier to read it exactly.

Your risk and trade rules on the chart still apply either way.

What each part of the app does

Common problems

• The copier is on a chart and shows the active (happy) icon
• Enable Telegram To MT5 (or MT4) is turned on in settings
• Algo Trading is on in MetaTrader
• Wait 30 seconds and try removing the copier from the chart and adding it again
• Only one copier on one chart is enough; you do not need it on every chart

• You pressed Start copying and selected at least one channel
• Chart channel filter (if you use it) includes that channel name
• Buy/sell and symbol settings on the chart match your signals
• Your broker uses the symbol names you expect (check symbol mapping)
• Look at the chart log window and the app Log tab for error messages

This usually means MetaTrader is closed, the copier was removed from the chart, or Algo Trading was turned off. Fix that, then press Start copying again.
