UTF-8 URL encoding (Vietnamese and emoji supported)

Optionally disable web page preview

Simple input: bot token, chat ID, timeout, prefix

How it works (MT4)

MT4 does not offer "trading" events like MT5. The EA monitors the total number of trading orders () and order history total () by scanning on a regular basis.

The EA sends a Telegram message when a new order appears (open a position) or a new record is added to the history (close a position).

Create a Telegram bot and get the bot token.

Get your target chat ID (user/group) or use @channelusername.

In MetaTrader 4: Tools → Options → Expert Advisor
Enable "Allow WebRequests for listed URLs" and add: https://api.telegram.org

Attach the EA to any chart and set:

Precautions/Troubleshooting

If the WebRequest fails, check your network/firewall/DNS and make sure the URL is allowed in the MT4 options.

Some networks/VPS may block Telegram; switching networks or using a relay server may help.

This EA is just a notification utility. It does not open or manage transactions.
