Set Up Telegram Bot

• Go to telegram and search for @BotFather
• Send /newbot and follow the instructions wich are given by the BothFather
• Chose a name and username for your bot
• You'll get the token for your bot (Use this token to access the HTTP API)
  
  
• Refer to the image below
  
  
• Load MT4 to Telegram Signal Provider EA on a chart in your MT4 terminal
• On the inputs, paste the token you got from BotFather
• DO NOT press “OK” yet as you need to insert the Chat ID first

• Chat / Group ID

  • Create the telegram group or channel where you want the EA to send messages.
  • Add your newly created bot to the group/channel and make it an admin.
    Group Info --> Manage Group --> Administrations --> ADD ADMINISTRATOR --> Your Bot --> Save
  • Write any message in the group/channel (like "Test"). This message is needed to get the group/channel ID.
  • Replace the <Token> part in the following URL with the Token you got from BotFather.
    https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/getUpdates
    
  • Open the URL in your browser. If on the new page is only: {"ok":true, "result":[]} Send a new message to the group/channel and update your browser tab.
  • Search for the part "chat":{id": and copy the ID. The ID should look something like this: -100133131xxx  or this: 505931706.
    ⚠️ Make sure to include the minus sign ( - ) if it is present! It is part of the ID.
