1. EA INSTALLATION :

➢ Extract the contents of the archive file – (Telegram Notify EA.zip).


➢ For MT4 platform, copy the mt4 version (.ex4) of the EA into
“MQL4\Experts” folder.

➢ Similarly for MT5 platform, copy the mt5 version (.ex5) of the EA into
“MQL5\Experts” folder.
➢ Next, Copy the Format text files into “MQL4\Files” folder.
➢ Allow web request for the URL https://api.telegram.org in options
window.
➢ And also “Allow DLL imports” for Expert advisors.

2. CREATING TELEGRAM BOT :

➢ We need two things, Bot token and chat ID of the bot.


➢ You create your own telegram bot using the BotFather bot (@BotFather)
of telegram.
➢ Search for BotFather and create your own telegram bot, and obtain the
bot token.
➢ Then, Start the bot on telegram and send some random message to the
bot.
➢ In this URL https://api.telegram.org/bot{bot_token}/getUpdates ,
replace the “{bot_token}” with your bot token and then run the URL
in web browser.
➢ If the response is {“ok”:true, “result”:[ ] } , then resend some
random message to the bot and reload the URL to get chat ID.
➢ Now, Search for the random message you sent, in the responses.
➢ If the message and user matches, Look for the string chat”:{“id” in
the response.
➢ This will give your chat id of the bot. Note that chat id can be a
negative number also.
➢ Now, with bot token and chat id, Telegram notify EA can send mt4
notifications on telegram, directly to you.

➢ If you need to send these notifications to telegram channel/group,


add the bot to the group/channel as admin, and then post some
messages to get the chat ID of that group/channel.

➢ Now, we have bot token and chat ID, lets run the EA on mt4/mt5.
3. RUNNING THE EA :

➢ Open Navigator on MT4, and refresh the list.


➢ Attach the EA on the chart.
➢ In EA properties window, “allow DLL imports” in common tab.

➢ Next, configure the EA settings in Inputs tab.

popup-alerts.

on the chart corner, and also the bot will welcome you on telegram.

channel/group.

➢ Note :

✓ Run the EA on only one chart. You don’t need to run it on


every chart.
✓ If you get black-outs in screenshots, try increasing the
screenshot delay (msec) by 1000 (max upto 10,000).
✓ In advanced usage, you can run additional instance of EA on
another mt4 terminal.
✓ For windows 7 users, extra configurations are required.
