Hi,

first of all thanks for the detailed description, much appreciated.

Forgive if this sounds silly but I wanted to try the Telegram_signal_EA and was hoping I could have alerts fired by an indicator being sent to a Telegram channel, however the code you gave for this in the third example, was it written for MT4 or MT5?

When I copy and paste the code into a new file in MetaEditor and compile it, I get a whole bunch of errors and I have no clue what it means, sure I should put in time to figure it all out, but with your given code it shouldn't be all too difficult to be able to achieve what I want right?

If anyone is willing to help me out or point me in the right direction I would really appreciate that.

Best regards,

Patrick

The errors are very clear and exactly what they state.

The compiler warns you that it is unable to find the include file.

The include file holds the missing functions which is why additional errors are generated.

You have to make sure that the file telegram.mqh exists in the files folder.

Start there as there are more errors which seem to be related to other code issues.

Is it possible to make it from custom indicator instead of expert advisor?

If you try to call the function WebRequest from an indicator, GetLastError() will return error 4014 — "Function is not allowed for call".

To do this, you need to remake the project to work with Wininet.dll from indicators.
