Keywords and clean text
Start with safer keywords such as BUY, SELL, ENTRY, SL and TP. Clean-text rules help strip noise, but avoid removing the symbol, stop loss or take profit content the parser needs.
Trade Copier
Telegram signal copier
Telegram is a signal source in DaneTrades, not a trading platform. Connect Telegram, configure detection for your provider format, then route parsed signals into supported trading accounts that execute the trades.
Signal source role
How Telegram enters the DaneTrades workflow
Connect Telegram in Trading Accounts with your phone number and country code, then complete verification. Configure Telegram as a master signal path in Copiers. Receivers should be broker or platform execution accounts—not Telegram itself. Receiver notification templates, if used, are a separate step after trading execution works.
Detection and parsing
Keywords, clean text, aliases and multi-TP rules
Symbol aliases
Primary symbol routing still uses copy-link Symbol Mapping. Aliases help when providers write GOLD for XAUUSD or BTC for BTCUSD and similar pairs.
Entry and multi-TP behaviour
Help documents entry-zone handling, optional “only take entries inside zone”, max pips from entry, Copy SL, ignore signals missing SL/TP, and multi-TP selection with split risk options.
Sizing into trading accounts
Signals become orders on platform receivers
After a signal parses, the connection’s sizing mode decides how large the follower order is on MT4, MT5, TradeLocker, DXtrade, MatchTrader or cTrader. Use Test Signal and Logs to confirm detection versus parse failures—those are different failure modes in Help.
Limitations
What Telegram cannot do here
Telegram does not execute trades as a trading platform. Strict keywords can miss providers. Formatting, emojis and commentary can confuse parsing if clean-text is too aggressive. Session disconnect or lost channel access stops new signals. Over-trusting an untested provider format is a documented risk—validate first.
Pricing
Telegram channels use licence slots
Each Telegram channel consumes 1 account licence slot at $10 per month, the same as a connected trading account. You still need trading-account receivers, and the overall minimum for a usable copier remains two licences / $20 per month when counting the slots you connect. No free cloud trial. No yearly plan.
