AI Telegram Signals Manual in AlgoWay

What Are AI Telegram Signals in AlgoWay?

AI Telegram Signals is a next-generation Telegram copier inside AlgoWay, where messages from Telegram channels are processed by artificial intelligence before they are sent into the trading system.

In classic Telegram copier services, the signal usually has to be written in a strict format. If the message has a different structure, extra text, emojis, comments, or an unusual order of data, the signal is often not processed correctly.

AlgoWay works differently. The user connects a Telegram channel, and AI analyzes each new message to determine whether it is a real trading signal. If the message contains a trading command, AlgoWay converts it into a clear format and then sends it through the standard AlgoWay webhook logic, the same way it already works with TradingView and other sources.

In other words, Telegram becomes another signal source, but with one important difference: between the Telegram message and webhook processing, there is an AI layer that helps understand human text and turn it into a trading command.

For example, a channel may send a signal in a free format:

BUY XAUUSD
Entry: 2350
SL: 2340
TP: 2370

AlgoWay reads this message, the AI identifies the trade direction, symbol, entry point, stop loss, and take profit, and then the signal is sent to the selected platform: MetaTrader 5, TradeLocker, cTrader, Tradovate, Binance, or another supported destination.

If the message is not a trading signal — for example, a profit report, advertisement, result screenshot, or ordinary market comment — AlgoWay should not send it as a trade.

The main idea is simple: the Telegram channel publishes the signal, AlgoWay AI understands it, and the standard AlgoWay webhook system handles the trading logic after that.

What You Need Before Setup

Before setting up AI Telegram Signals, the user needs to prepare a few things.

First, you need an AlgoWay account and access to the dashboard.

Second, you need access to the Telegram account that is already a member of the signal channel or group. AlgoWay can only read channels and groups that are available to this Telegram account.

Third, you need to know where the trades should be sent. For example, MetaTrader 5, cTrader, TradeLocker, Tradovate, Binance, or another supported platform.

It is important to understand that Telegram is the signal source in this setup, while the trading platform is the execution destination.

The logic is:

Telegram channel → AI processing → AlgoWay webhook → Trading platform

Step 1. Create a Telegram Webhook

First, you need to create a webhook that will receive signals from Telegram.

Open the webhook creation page.

In the Source (from) field, select:

Telegram

This means that the source of the trading signal will be a Telegram channel or Telegram group.

Next, in the Platform (to) field, select the trading platform where AlgoWay should send the processed signal.

For example:

• MetaTrader 5 — if trades should be opened in MT5.
• cTrader — if the signal should be sent to cTrader.
• TradeLocker — if you use TradeLocker.
• Tradovate — if the signal should be executed through Tradovate.
• Binance — if the signal is related to crypto trading.

After selecting the source and the platform, click the webhook creation button.

After this, a Telegram webhook will be created in AlgoWay. It does not read the Telegram channel yet. At this stage, you have only created the direction: where the signal comes from and where it should be sent.

The Telegram account connection and the selection of the specific signal channel are configured separately in Settings.

Step 2. Connect Your Telegram Account

After creating the Telegram webhook, you need to connect the Telegram account that AlgoWay will use to read signals.

Open the Settings page.

Find the Telegram Copier block.

In the Telegram Source Webhook field, select the webhook that was created in the previous step.

After that, enter the phone number of your Telegram account.

The phone number should be entered in international format, for example:

+374XXXXXXXX
+33XXXXXXXXX
+1XXXXXXXXXX

Then click:

Send Code

Telegram will send a confirmation code to your Telegram account.

Enter the received code into the field:

Verification Code

After that, click:

Connect Telegram

If your Telegram account has an additional password enabled, the system will ask you to enter it. In that case, enter the Telegram 2FA password and repeat the connection.

After a successful connection, AlgoWay will be able to load the list of channels and groups available to this Telegram account.

Important: connecting the Telegram account does not mean that signal copying is already enabled. At this stage, AlgoWay only gets access to the list of available chats. The specific signal channel is selected in the next step.

Step 3. Select the Telegram Signal Channel

After connecting the Telegram account, you need to select the channel or group from which AlgoWay will read trading signals.

In the Telegram Copier block, click:

Load My Chats

AlgoWay will load the list of Telegram channels and groups that are available to the connected Telegram account.

After the list is loaded, select the required channel in the chat selection field.

This should be the exact channel or group where trading signals are posted.

After selecting the channel, click:

Save Copier

At this stage, AlgoWay saves the connection:

this Telegram webhook → this Telegram channel → this trading platform

Now the system knows where to read messages from and where to send the processed signals.

Important: if the Telegram account is not a member of the required channel, this channel will not appear in the list. First, add the Telegram account to the channel, then click Load My Chats again.

Step 4. Configure Trade Size

After selecting the Telegram channel, you need to define how AlgoWay should determine the trade size.

In the Telegram Copier block, there is a position size setting.

Usually, two modes are available:

Auto

In this mode, AlgoWay tries to take the trade size from the Telegram signal itself.

For example, if the message says:

Lot: 0.10

or

Size: 1

AlgoWay will use this size when sending the trade.

Manual

In this mode, the user sets a default trade size manually.

This option is needed when the Telegram channel publishes signals without position size.

For example:

BUY EURUSD
SL 1.0800
TP 1.0900

This message contains direction, symbol, stop loss, and take profit, but it does not contain trade size. In this case, AlgoWay uses the size that the user previously set in the settings.

After selecting the size mode, click:

Save Copier

Important: if the signal does not contain trade size and the user has not set a default size, AlgoWay may not send the trade because the trading platform must know what volume to open.

Step 5. Enable Telegram Copier

After selecting the channel and configuring trade size, you need to enable the copier itself.

In the Telegram Copier block, enable the option:

Enable Telegram Copier

Then click:

Save Copier

After saving, AlgoWay starts monitoring the selected Telegram channel.

From this moment, the workflow becomes:

New Telegram message → AI processing → standard AlgoWay webhook → selected trading platform

If a trading signal appears in the Telegram channel, AlgoWay AI analyzes the message, extracts the trading parameters, and passes them further into the webhook.

If the message is not a signal, it should not be sent as a trade.

For example, the following messages should not open a trade:

Net Profit: +10%
Win rate: 75%
Trade closed in profit
Market looks risky today
Join our VIP group

These are not trading commands. They are reports, comments, or advertisements.

After enabling Telegram Copier, the user can proceed to test the setup with a real signal.

Trading Platform Setup

AI Telegram Signals is responsible only for receiving and processing messages from Telegram.

After the AI recognizes a trading signal, the standard AlgoWay webhook logic takes over. This means that the processed Telegram signal is passed into the same execution system that is already used for TradingView and other sources.

Therefore, the trading platform itself should be configured using the regular AlgoWay manual for the selected platform.

For example, if MetaTrader 5 is selected in the Platform (to) field, the user should install and connect the same AlgoWayWS-MT5 Expert Advisor that is used for TradingView signal automation. In MT5, the user needs to install the EA, enable algorithmic trading, allow DLL imports, and enter the webhook UUID in the EA inputs.

A separate Telegram EA is not required. Telegram is only the signal source in this setup. Trade execution in MetaTrader 5 is handled by the standard AlgoWayWS-MT5 EA, the same as when working with TradingView.

If another platform is selected, such as DxTrade, TradeLocker, cTrader, Tradovate, Binance, or another supported platform, it should be connected using the corresponding AlgoWay manual.

The principle remains the same: a webhook is created in AlgoWay, the execution platform is selected, the connection details are entered, and after that the webhook appears in the dashboard and can receive trading commands.

The main difference in Telegram Signals is not trade execution, but the signal source.

In TradingView, the user creates the webhook message manually.

In Telegram Signals, the message comes from a Telegram channel in normal human language.

AlgoWay AI analyzes this message, turns it into a trading command, and then the command goes through the standard AlgoWay infrastructure.

The final workflow is:

Telegram channel → AI processing → AlgoWay webhook → connected trading platform

So, if the platform has already been connected to AlgoWay before, the user does not need to learn a new execution logic. The user only needs to create a Telegram webhook, connect the Telegram channel, and select the familiar execution destination.
