MetaTrader5_Listener_Telegram

A Python bot developed to listen on Telegram servers, waiting for specific images from which it extracts data. Through appropriate processing, this data is transformed into trading signals that can be used to place orders in the Forex market. The bot allows the management of approximately 10 MetaTrader accounts simultaneously.

SETUP

To install the py MT5 bot you can do it in some simple steps: Python required version 3.9.

Check your py version by cmd:

python3 -V

Check if pip is installed with:

pip --version

If not, get it by:

py -m ensurepip --upgrade

Then let's create a venv :

  py -3.9 -m venv name_of_the_venv

Then we activate it by:

\path\to\env\Scripts\activate

Some of the requirements of the bot need the pip upgrade, otherwise it won't work based on MetaTrader5 deps on the activated venv. We can solve this by:

py -m pip install --upgrade pip

Now let's install the deps, the first one we're going to install is: pymt5adapter.

We actually do that by:

pip install -U pymt5adapter

This is a link to his repo: https://github.com/nicholishen/pymt5adapter .

Then we are going to install the other deps:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Setup of the user_data.env file

You need to provide all the requirements stated there.
Note: If you're going to use multiple terminals I advice you to copy-paste the terminal in different folders and giving the exact path to the user_data MT_EXE_PATH .env var. You could also use different terminals, depending on your choice.
