It's ok?

ok. But if you are working with a private channel, use the Channel ID, not the Channel Name.

Andrey, I confirm you that your code work well on MT4 but not on MT5

The error returned on MT5 are:

2018.06.15 15:12:10.961 Telegram_Signal_EA (EURUSD,M30) CCustomBot::PostRequest res = 1001

2018.06.15 15:12:10.961 Telegram_Signal_EA (EURUSD,M30) CCustomBot::PostRequest _LastError = 5203

2018.06.15 15:12:10.961 Telegram_Signal_EA (EURUSD,M30) Error: Unknown error 1001

thanks

Hello Andrey,

Thanks a lot for the code! It works great, I just have one brief question:

I made a string to keep my message based on various stuff, like add a specific emoji for buy and for sell alerts and so on, and I came up with the idea of sending a chart Screenshot with each alert, I made the code and I just got a problem, when I use my string variable onto the caption argument of SendPhoto, it returns a BadRequest error, I tesed sending a dummy screen using "Test" into the caption and it worked perfectly, then, I figured out another way to find the problem and I sent "Error is on the text" on the caption and it sent the Screenshot but I found the problem, it sends it to Telegram as "Error+is+on+the+text" So I think that this is caused by the formating of the text to be sent on the WebRequest function, but I don't have enough programming skills to figure out what has to be changed to be able to pass a nice format like:

⬆️New buy trade EURUSD⬆️
▶️Entry point: 1.23456◀️
🔵Take Profit: 1.24000🔵
🔴Stop Loss: 1.22000🔴

As I'm able to do with SendMessage. Would you help me to find out what has to be modified to handle those formats? 

Thanks a lot for the library again! 

Best regards, 
Fernando. 
 

Hi,

When i have tested with this Library of  Andrey Voytenkoon MT5, It not work well so i have some more simple step. Any people hit same error can try to change like me:

1. Confirm add https://api.telegram.org to Allow WebRequest for listed URL

2. When you using chat_id (like "-1001301234105") instead @channel_name, you will hit some error with this code so i have change it

And now I confirm after i have do two things above, this library work well in MT5.

Thanks Andrey Voytenko again.

 
Amazing article

thank you Andrey Voytenko 

can you explain for what "UserNameFilter"
thank you
:)
 
Is it possible to do the reverse?

Receive message on Telegram and then that sends the execution order to MT4 with my own trade size parameters?
  
   bot.Token(MY_TELEGRAM_TOKEN);
   int res = bot.GetMe();
   Print("ERROR ",GetErrorDescription(GetLastError()));
   Print("Init res ",res);

I've use this basic code and tried many times last few days but keep getting this error: 

2018.12.22 23:50:50.792 EA (CADJPY,M30) ERROR HTTP request failed

2018.12.22 23:50:50.792 EA (CADJPY,M30) Init res 1001

I've tried to use `WebRequest` directly to `getMe` method but same issue. (sometime it return error 1003 as well)

However when I've built localhost API, the `WebRequest` can connect and does return api response successfully.

Please help...! Thank you in advance!

 

Andrey Voytenko basically i added the files that you use and then modified the script I have to send to telegram instead of email when executing a trade action. That works except when opening a trade it will send the message multiple times
