Copy Cat Notification Module Manual

Copy Cat Notification Module

Copy Cat Notification Module is a companion utility for Copy Cat More Trade Copier MT5 and MT4. It works on the Slave terminal and broadcasts every trade event to Telegram and/or MetaTrader mobile push notifications. With message templates and language files, you can customize alerts for personal use, team sharing, or signal broadcasting.

Note: This utility is not a trade copier by itself. It requires Copy Cat More MT5 running in Slave mode.

Use it to provide signals of your manual trades, EA trades, or copier trades to Telegram group members and channel subscribers, or simply receive private alerts on your MetaTrader mobile app.
