How it works
From a Telegram post to an open trade
The copier app
A Windows program that logs in to your Telegram account with Telegram's official library and watches the channels you pick. It reads each new post, decides whether it is a trade signal, and passes the trade on. It also checks your license with our server.
The platform add-on
For MetaTrader 4 and 5 an Expert Advisor, for cTrader a cBot. It runs inside your trading terminal, collects new trades from the copier app on the same machine, and places them. DXtrade and TradeLocker need no add-on: the app trades them through their APIs.
Our signal reader
On Professional and Enterprise, every message is sent to our server, which reads it with rules first and AI for unusual formats, and returns the trade (or "not a signal"). Starter uses the app's built-in reader for standard formats.

One position per take profit. Example only; your lot size is your setting.
How a signal becomes trades
- Entry
- Market order when the signal arrives. For an entry zone (4177-75), the first price is the reference.
- Stop loss
- Taken from the post. If the post has none ("SL: premium"), the trade is opened without one, so set your own risk limits.
- Take profits
- MetaTrader: one position per take profit, so each target closes on its own. DXtrade and TradeLocker: one position with the first take profit. "TP: open" is skipped.
- After TP1
- MetaTrader, optional: move the stop loss of the remaining positions to the hit target.
- Breakeven
- MetaTrader, optional: move the stop loss to breakeven plus a small offset once the trade is a set number of points in profit.
- Size
- MetaTrader: a fixed lot size you choose per terminal, plus a maximum slippage. TradeLocker: the size set for the account in the app. DXtrade: 0.01 lots.
