ATC Telegram Signal Copier

The Telegram Signal Copier lets ATC listen to a Telegram channel, group, or bot, parse incoming trade signals from plain-text messages, and copy them to your connected client accounts — no MetaTrader terminal required on the signal provider's side.

How it works

ATC connects to the source as a listener (bot account or user session).
Every new message is checked against the signal parser's recognized patterns.
A matching message is converted into a structured order (symbol, direction, entry, SL, TP).
The order is dispatched through the same ATC Node pipeline used by every other trade source.

Supported message format

A signal message is parsed from plain text. A typical entry signal looks like:

BUY GOLD
Entry: 2350
SL: 2340
TP1: 2360
TP2: 2370
TP3: 2380

Market-execution signals (no entry price) are also supported:

SELL EURUSD NOW
SL: 1.0950
TP: 1.0900

Recognized keywords

Field	Accepted keywords	Notes
Direction	`BUY`, `SELL`, `LONG`, `SHORT`	Case-insensitive
Symbol	Any configured symbol alias	Mapped through your symbol dictionary
Entry	`Entry`, `@`, `Entry Price`	Omit for immediate market execution
Stop Loss	`SL`, `Stop Loss`, `S/L`	Single value
Take Profit	`TP`, `TP1`/`TP2`/`TP3`, `Take Profit`	Multiple targets supported

Managing open trades

Follow-up messages in the same channel can modify or close a trade already copied:

Move SL to breakeven — GOLD
Close half — GOLD
Close all — GOLD

These are matched against the most recent open signal for that symbol from the same source.

Setting it up

Add your ATC bot to the source Telegram channel or group (or provide a user session if the source requires membership).
Confirm ATC has read access to new messages.
Map any symbol aliases used by the provider (e.g. GOLD → XAUUSD) in your symbol dictionary.
Link the source to your destination client accounts and set your copy ratio / risk settings.
Send a test signal to confirm parsing and execution before going live.

Notes and limitations

Messages that don't match a recognized pattern are ignored and logged, not guessed at.
Edited or deleted Telegram messages do not retroactively change trades already executed.
Ambiguous signals (missing symbol or direction) are flagged rather than auto-executed.
