MT4 Telegram Trade Notifier (Bot API) — Deal Alerts - expert for MetaTrader 4

Overview
TelegramTradeNotify is a lightweight MT4 utility EA that sends trade notifications to Telegram using Telegram Bot API (sendMessage).

Key Features

• Sends alerts when a trade is opened or closed (order-based detection in MT4)

• Optional filter: BUY/SELL only

• UTF-8 URL encoding (supports Vietnamese & emojis)

• Optional disable web page preview

• Simple inputs: Bot Token, Chat ID, timeout, prefix

How It Works (MT4)

• MT4 does not provide "deal" events like MT5. This EA monitors trades by scanning OrdersTotal() and OrdersHistoryTotal() periodically.

• When a new order appears (open) or a new record is added to history (close), the EA sends a Telegram message.

Setup

1. Create a Telegram bot and get the bot token.

2. Get your target chat id (user/group) or use @channelusername.

3. In MetaTrader 4: Tools → Options → Expert Advisors
   Enable “Allow WebRequest for listed URL” and add: https://api.telegram.org

4. Attach the EA to any chart and set:

   • InpBotToken

   • InpChatId

Notes / Troubleshooting

• If WebRequest fails, check network/firewall/DNS and ensure the URL is allowed in MT4 options.

• Some networks/VPS may block Telegram; switching network or using a relay server can help.

• This EA is a notification utility only. It does not open or manage trades.

Inputs

• InpBotToken: Telegram bot token

• InpChatId: chat id or @channelusername

• InpSendTestOnInit: send a test message when EA starts

• InpNotifyBuySellOnly: notify only BUY/SELL orders

• InpTimeoutMs: WebRequest timeout

• InpMsgPrefix: message prefix
