Telegram Portfolio and Connection Monitor

⭐ Telegram Portfolio and Connection Monitor
Your server in safe hands — Keep an eye on your MT5 accounts anytime, anywhere.

🎯 Why we built this:

As a trader running automated systems on a VPS, your biggest concern isn't just the trading strategy itself—it’s the hidden technical risks. Internet disconnections, broker outage spikes, unexpected VPS reboots, or leaving your account unmonitored while away from the screen can turn a winning strategy into an unmanaged disaster.

The Telegram Portfolio and Connection Monitor is designed to eliminate these exact vulnerabilities. It instantly turns your mobile phone into a real-time monitoring and control hub, freeing you from the hassle of constantly logging into Remote Desktop (RDP) 24/7. You get immediate visibility over your portfolio status paired with automated background diagnostics—giving you absolute control and peace of mind over your trading environment, wherever you are.

💡 Key Benefits:

• Peace of Mind (Automated Status Reports): Automated status reports based on set schedules or time intervals give you peace of mind that your server and portfolio are secure.
• On-Demand Check: Want to know your portfolio status right now? Simply type the /check command into the Telegram chat, and the bot will pull live data and send it back to you instantly within seconds.
• All-in-One Portfolio Overview: Get a complete summary of Balance, Equity, and Total P/L across all orders, with a clear breakdown of individual open positions.
• Proactive High Latency Warning: Detects server slowdowns or network lag before they impact execution, notifying you when latency exceeds your predefined threshold.
• Critical Connection Safeguard: Instantly alerts you when MetaTrader 5 loses connection to the broker server, account credentials fail, or network/VPS drops occur, complete with automated recovery and downtime tracking.
• Lightweight & High Stability: Designed specifically as a background utility, it consumes minimal system resources, doesn't slow down your machine, and requires no complex setup.

📖 Telegram Bot Setup & Configuration Guide
This guide covers the step-by-step process of creating a Telegram Bot, obtaining your Chat ID, and configuring Bot Privacy settings via @BotFather to work seamlessly with the Telegram Portfolio and Connection Monitor.

Step 1: Create a Telegram Bot & Get the Bot Token

1.     Open the Telegram app and search for @BotFather (look for the official verified checkmark badge).
2.     Tap Start to begin the chat.
3.     Send the command /newbot to BotFather.
4.     Enter a Display Name for your bot (e.g., Ratchata Portfolio Monitor).
5.     Choose a Username for your bot, which must end with the word bot (e.g., ratchata _monitor_bot).
6.     If the username is taken, BotFather will ask you to choose another. Once successful, BotFather will reply with a welcome message containing your HTTP API (Bot Token) (formatted as a combination of numbers and letters, e.g., 123456789:ABCdefGhIJKlmNoPQRsTUVwxyZ).
7.     Copy this token and paste it into the Telegram Bot Token field in your EA settings.

Step 2: How to Find Your Chat ID

1.     Search for a helper bot on Telegram to retrieve your ID, such as @userinfobot or @getmyid_bot.
2.     Tap Start, and the bot will instantly display your account information.
3.     Look for the Id line (pure numbers, e.g., 987654321), which represents your personal Chat ID.
4.     Copy this Chat ID and paste it into the Telegram Chat ID field in your EA settings. (Note: If you want reports sent to a Telegram group, add the bot to your group and use a group ID helper bot to retrieve the group's Chat ID instead).

Step 3: Configuring Bot Privacy Mode via BotFather
By default, Telegram bots have Privacy Mode enabled. When a bot is added to a group chat, it will ignore regular messages or commands like /check unless you explicitly mention the bot's username (e.g., /check@your_bot_name). For private direct chats, this setting has no effect.

If you want your bot to read commands freely without restrictions, follow these steps:

1.     Return to the @BotFather chat window.
2.     Send the command /setprivacy.
3.     BotFather will list your created bots; select the username of your bot.
4.     Choose the desired status:
•  Enable (Default): Keeps privacy mode on. The bot only reads group messages if explicitly mentioned or addressed with a command slash.
•  Disable: Turns privacy mode off. The bot can read all messages in group chats where it is a member (recommended if you want smooth and direct execution of the /check command).
5.     Select Disable, and BotFather will reply with Success! The new state is: DISABLED.

The automated background monitoring system is designed to watch over network health and broker server stability 24/7. Warning notifications are categorized into 4 main cases:

• Case 1: High Latency Warning

  • Trigger Condition: Occurs when the connection to the server is still active, but the ping latency spikes and exceeds the user-defined threshold ( InpMaxPingMs ).

  • Notification Message: Sends a warning ⚠️ displaying the current high ping and a suggestion that the server might be unstable or experiencing lag.

• Case 2: System Recovery (Latency Normal)

  • Trigger Condition: Occurs after the system previously sent a high ping warning (Case 1), and the ping subsequently drops back down to normal limits.

  • Notification Message: Sends a success message ✅ confirming that ping and latency are back to normal limits, along with the latest ping value.

• Case 3: Critical Warning (Connection Lost)

• Trigger Condition: Occurs immediately (Real-time) when MetaTrader 5 completely loses connection to the broker server.
• Possible Scenarios:

• Account-related issues, such as incorrect login credentials or an invalid password where the server rejects the connection (the system triggers this alert immediately).
• Network-related issues, such as internet disconnection or VPS loss of connection (the system will send this notification along with recovery after the connection is successfully re-established).

• Case 4: System Recovery (Connection Restored)

• Trigger Condition: Occurs specifically when a critical disconnection state (such as internet or network loss) has been resolved, and "the connection signal has successfully returned to normal."
• Notification Message: Sends a success message ✅ confirming that the connection to the broker has been successfully restored, accompanied by a precise Downtime summary report (tracking from the moment the connection dropped until it was successfully re-established) so users can review the exact offline duration. (The system will send this notification after the connection is successfully re-established).
