TSC Reader is the free companion app of the Telegram Signal Copier EA for MetaTrader 5. It reads the Telegram channels you follow with your own account and passes the signals to the EA through files in the MT5 Common folder. This post has the downloads and a step-by-step setup.

Download

All downloads, checksums and the full user guide: tsc-copier.pages.dev/download. Video walk-through: YouTube.

Install

Windows: run the setup. The app is not code-signed yet, so Windows may say "Windows protected your PC" – click More info → Run anyway. TSC Reader then runs with an icon next to the clock and opens its page in your browser.

macOS: open the .dmg and drag TSC Reader to Applications, then open it. If macOS cannot verify the developer: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. Or install with one line in Terminal (no prompt):
curl -fsSL https://tsc-copier.pages.dev/downloads/install-mac.sh | bash
TSC Reader lives in the menu bar. MetaTrader 5 for Mac is supported.

Linux VPS: curl -fsSL https://tsc-copier.pages.dev/downloads/install-linux.sh | bash – installs a systemd user service. Open the web page through an SSH tunnel ( ssh -L 8765:127.0.0.1:8765 you@vps ).

First run (about 5 minutes)

  1. API key – the Login page shows a step-by-step guide to create your free personal Telegram API key at my.telegram.org (copy buttons for every field).
  2. Log in – scan the QR code with Telegram on your phone (Settings → Devices → Link Desktop Device), or use your phone number and code. 2-step verification is supported.
  3. Channels – tick the signal channels you want to copy.
  4. MetaTrader 5 – attach the Telegram Signal Copier EA to one chart (any symbol) and allow Algo Trading.
  5. Status → Doctor – every check should be green. Send a Test message to see the whole chain work.

New channels start in shadow mode (paper trading). Watch the parse preview and the shadow results on the EA panel, then switch a channel to LIVE with one click.

Your Telegram account stays safe

  • Read-only: the reader never sends messages, never joins or leaves channels, never reacts and never marks messages as read.
  • It talks only to Telegram and to the EA on the same computer – nothing is sent to us or any other server.
  • Your session is stored encrypted on your computer and appears in Telegram → Settings → Devices, where you can end it at any time.

Try it for free

Product page: TSC Telegram Signal Copier on the MQL5 Market (free demo, rent or buy).

The free demo of the EA runs in the MT5 Strategy Tester with a built-in sample channel (XAUUSD and EURUSD, May–October 2026) or a demo channel for any symbol. You can also export your own channel's history with the reader and replay it on your broker's real ticks.

Questions or a channel that is not read correctly? Write in the comments of the product page and attach the reader's support bundle (Status page) – it never contains your Telegram session.
