MT4 to Telegram - page 2

[Nguyen Van Anh]

I have learned the code a lot from Andrey Voytenko to write my ea in the article https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/2355. The library has the SendMessage and SendPhoto function, focus on these steps:

Step 1: Declare the bot

CCustomBot bot;

string token = "208375865:AAFnuOjlZ3Wsdan6PAjeqqUtBybe0Di1or8";

bot.Token(token);

Step 2a: The way to use SendMessage

int SendMessage(const string channel_name,                 const string text)

Step 2b: The way to use SendPhoto:

first:

int SendChatAction(const long chat_id,               const ENUM_CHAT_ACTION actiona)

then

int SendPhoto(const long chat_id,               const string local_path,               string &photo_id,               const string caption=NULL,               const bool common_flag=false,               const int timeout=10000)

or

int SendPhoto(const long chat_id,               const string photo_id,               const string caption=NULL)

so you just only use that function in your code. You can even modify the code for your needs. I still look ahead to him writing the code how to send text from Telegram to MT4.

Additionally you can create buttons that interact with Metatrader that can give you full control over your EA by either putting in a command or clicking a predefined button.

You can make a search for the decision - for example this thread: Telegram 4 MQL - A .NET library for exchanging messages between Metatrader and Telegram 
or order it in Freelance for example.

Hi, there is a successor for this library, this time open source: https://mmm.steven-england.info or https://GitHub.com/stevenengland/mmm

Matthew Todorovski:

What about Telegram to MetaTrader please?

You could use the GetUpdates function. You need to periodically check for incoming messages from MQL code and parse the received messages for Relevant content (allowed users to send commands, the actual commands or text snippets you want to handle).

I've written a sender (from MT5 to Telegram), but now unsure how to receive the Telegram information back to another MT5 account.

WebRequest is only to send right? What's the call to get information back from telegram? 

I've checked MQL5 forums, Youtube and other forums, and couldn't find relevant content.

Did you even bother to read the article? It is right there at the end of it!

Today's people have no pride in themselves. They want everything spoon-fed right into their mouths and are even too lazy to move their heads.

Put some effort into it!

It pains me and some even insult you and call you all kind of names because you would have denied to spoon feed them... They dont realise how much time and resources used to create such
