Need some help on Telegram_Signal_EA

New comment
 

Hey guys, so basically I have taken the source code provided from an Article titled create bots for telegram and basically edited the code for the telegram_signal_EA to basically send trade based off my strategy. So I compiled to check for errors and everything works fine even when I apply the EA to the chart the experts tab shows that its recognized my telegram bot. Now my issue lies in sending the alert itself, I am not receiving alerts to telegram when my rules for a trade are met. Any help on this guys? Here's the code below

  1. Why not ask the author himself by posting on the article's thread?
  2. Have you added Telegram's URL ("https://api.telegram.org") to MetaTrader's list of allowed URLs for the WebRequest function ("Tools" -> "Options" -> "Expert Advisors" -> "Allow WebRequest for listed URL:")?
