Now that you have Telegram FX copier installed, let's talk about the best ways to set this up and use it.

Our first suggestion is to create a test channel in Telegram, and follow it in the copier. This is the fastest way to validate any settings, to make sure they work properly.

Please make sure you have your settings properly adjusted and tested before putting real money on any system!

We can start by double clicking on the EA to add it to a chart. If you get errors with license verification, visit this link. If you get a pop up window that says 'not configured for this account,' that means your MetaTrader account number is not added to our user portal. Please review the installation and setup video or visit this link.

Question 3

Step 4, Copier Settings

Accepted Answer

Once you finalize the account connection, here are the final settings.

Select your channels to copy, and save them.
Configure and save your risk settings. You can configure settings per MetaTrader account (global), per channel, or per symbol. The default risk setting is % of account, but any instance where the Order Management router can't fetch your account balance it will fall back to the fixed lot size. Please note this setting (lot sizing) is global at this time.
Push your Telegram notification channel live. Don't change the name or delete the channel.
DO NOT FOLLOW YOUR NOTIFICATION CHANNEL IN THE COPIER! If you do, it will crash your Telegram receiver system.
DO NOT CHANGE THE NAME OF YOUR NOTIFICATION CHANNEL!!
IF YOU DO ANY OF THESE THINGS WE WILL CHARGE YOU A $50 FEE to restore your copier.
Create a test channel in Telegram, and follow it in the copier. Do not use your notification channel for this! Use the test channel to test your connectivity or settings. We cannot stress this enough--it is the fastest way to validate that your system is working and doing what you want it to do. Make sure you send a complete trade, with TP and SL.
Trade signals must be contained within a single message, the system is not designed to parse multiple messages into a single trading signal.

Question 4

What if I cannot see the EA on Metatrader Terminal(s) or if I Can't Validate My License?

Accepted Answer

If you have completed the installation process but still cannot see the EA (Expert Advisor) in your MT (Metatrader) terminal, please follow these steps:

Download Zip File: Visit the following link to download the zip file: https://rcl.ink/MRl
Choose MetaTrader Type: Identify your MT type (either MT4 or MT5).
Open the downloaded zip file and navigate to the folders that corresponds to your MT type. The folders will be located at C:\Users(yourcomputername)\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\
Copy Library Files: Copy the files from the "Libraries" folder within the downloaded zip file to the "Libraries" folder in your Metatrader Data folder.
Copy Icon File: Locate the file named "TelegramFxCopier.ico" within the "Images" folder of the downloaded zip file, and copy it to the "Images" folder in your Metatrader Data folder.
Copy Expert Advisor File: Find the file named "Expert" within the "EA" folder of the downloaded zip file. Files ending in EX4 are MT4, and files ending in EX5 are MT5. Copy this file to the "Experts" folder in your MetaTrader Experts folder.

We sometimes see this problem when users try to install the 64-bit version of TelegramFXCopier into MetaTrader 4, which is 32-bit. Most versions of MT4 require the use of 64 bit files in the EA, but others do not. This can cause issues in MetaTrader 4, such as not being able to validate the user license, and g

Question 5

Step 3, Connect MetaAPI to the Copier

Accepted Answer

Step 3 in the connection process--here's how to connect your MetaAPI.cloud API instance to the copier.

You'll need to make sure you have deposited a balance in MetaAPI first.
Then you need your API key, your account ID, and your account name.
That's it, that's all you need!

Automatic Symbol Detection

When you connect your broker account, TelegramFX Copier automatically scans your broker's available symbols and configures two things on your behalf:

Broker Symbol Suffix — Some brokers append a suffix to their symbol names (for example, EURUSD becomes EURUSDm or EURUSD.a). If your broker uses a suffix, our system detects it automatically and applies it to your symbol map. You don't need to know what it is or enter it manually.
Gold Symbol — Most brokers use XAUUSD for gold, but some use GOLD. Our system detects which format your broker uses and maps it correctly, so gold signals copy without any manual configuration.
If your broker uses standard symbols with no suffix and XAUUSD for gold, no changes need to be made.

Extra Stuff You'll Want to Know

Depending on your broker, if you are trying to connect when markets are closed, or during periods of low volatility, there is a chance your broker or metaAPI may initially refuse your connection. Our system also checks market hours before trying a connection. It's much better to connect during regular hours. [For more information visit here.](https://helpdesk.telegramfxcopier.io/en/a

Question 6

Why Didn't My Trade Trigger?

Accepted Answer

There can be a lot of reasons why a trade doesn't open. Let's start with the simple things.

Autotrading/Algotrading is turned off. Make sure it's turned on.

Markets are closed.
You are trying to take a provider order as a market order. If the market price is on the wrong side of either the SL or the TP, some brokers will reject the order completely. See this article for more info.
Broker requotes/no prices. This happens on market orders during thin or fast moving markets. It usually results in a code 10004, 10014, 10018, or 10021.
The signal contains symbols that do not match the EA's internal symbol map (symbol not found). Remember, forex pairs are mapped internally by the EA unless the format is unusual (like #EURJPY or EUR/JPY for example). Gold, indexes and crypto must be mapped manually, in the EA settings. See here.
