从metatrader4向python中的电报机器人发送消息

Question

I am working on automating the trade signals generated in metatrader 4. Idea is to encode the buy/sell signals into message and send to a python telegram receiver code which will decode the message and take appropriate action (like placing orders with broker using broker provided python APIs). any idea how this can be done?

I have so far tried below code, which receives message from my telegram account and replies same text back. https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/blob/master/examples/echobot2.py

my requirement is instead of using telegram account on mobile, i need it in the metatrader

Answer 1

today with bit of struggle i figured out a way to achieve my requirement. not an efficient solution but its working. so i am explaining below,

MT4 EA code: once buy/sell signals generated, a message is sent to my first telegram bot (call it A_bot).

A_bot: forwards the received message to second bot(call it B_bot)

python server on vps: same token as that of B_bot is listening to incoming messages. in other words python version of B_bot is listening to incoming messages.

so when A_bot forwards the message recieved by MT4 EA to B_bot, copy of same message is received is received by python server. So in python server code now i am able to process the message and place order accordingly. so the original problem is i can't do this with just A_bot. there is an extra step involved to forward message from one telegram bot to another to make it work. for this i am using android app Tforwarder.
