Copy Telegram signals during news releases

To copy Telegram signals during a news release without paying for a stretched quote, set a maximum spread and, if you want, a short delay before placing, then test both on a demo account. CopySignals is a cloud Telegram signal copier for MT4, MT5 and eTrader: it reads the rooms you already follow through your own Telegram account and places the trades on your own broker account. Both controls are in every plan, and they are the two that matter when a signal lands in the middle of a headline.

Why are news releases hard on copied signals?

Because the quote your broker shows around a release is not the quote you see on a quiet afternoon. Spreads widen, prices jump between ticks, and an order can fill some distance from the price the room had in mind. A person who posts a signal at that moment is looking at a chart. A copier that reads the post is sending an order into the same quotes, in a fraction of a second.

Rooms post around releases for ordinary reasons. The analyst has a view on the number, or the market has just moved and a setup has formed. Whether that is a good idea is the room's business, and we do not tell you which rooms to follow. What you control is how your own account reacts when such a post arrives.

Which copier settings help when a signal arrives on news?

Three controls do most of the work, and each is set per copier. A maximum spread refuses to open a trade when the spread is wider than your limit. A delay before placing holds the order for a time you choose. A cap on open positions limits how many trades can be live at once, which matters when a room posts several signals in a row.

The spread limit is the blunt one. The article on the spread filter for signal copying explains how to pick a value from what your broker actually quotes. The idea here is simple: if the spread on gold is normally small and the release pushes it far beyond that, a limit set a little above normal means the trade is skipped instead of opened at a poor price. The skip is written to the event log with its reason, so you can see afterwards what the filter did.

The delay is the softer tool. It is covered in delay before placing copied trades, and its trade-off is plain: you wait out the first seconds, and you may get a different price from the room. We do not publish a recommended number, because it depends on the room and the broker.

Should you skip signals during news altogether?

That is your call, and there are two honest ways to do it. The first is to let the spread limit decide: if the market is orderly, the trade goes through, and if it is stretched, it is skipped. The second is to use a word filter. If a room labels its news trades in a consistent way, a word filter can leave those posts out. We cannot know how your room writes its posts, so read a week of its history before you rely on this, and check the result on the event log.

Letting the spread decide has one advantage over a filter on words: it responds to what the broker is quoting, not to how the room phrases things. Its weakness is that a wide spread is not the only danger. Slippage can happen at a normal spread, and a filter on spread cannot remove it. The piece on slippage in a signal copier goes through what you can and cannot control.

What happens to the stop loss and targets on a fast market?

They are placed from the signal as usual, and the fill price may differ from the entry in the post. If the fill is far from the entry, the distance to the stop changes, and so does your risk. When you size by percent of the account, the lot is worked out against the signal's own stop, so a fill that lands badly still carries more risk than the number you set. A maximum lot caps the size in every sizing mode. Read lot size from risk percent if you want the arithmetic.

The follow-up messages matter just as much. A room that moves its stop to break even, closes half at the first target or reports a stop out is giving instructions after the entry. CopySignals handles the whole life of the trade, with break even after a chosen number of targets, partial close at each target, a trailing stop and the exit when the room reports a stop or the last target. On a news candle those updates can arrive within seconds of each other, so look at the event log after your first news trade to see the order in which things happened.

How do you test this before it costs money?

Connect a demo account at the same broker and copy the same room to it for a few weeks that include a scheduled release. Note which signals the spread limit skipped, which went through, and how far the fills sit from the entries in the posts. The step by step version is in copying signals to a demo account first. A demo account is not identical to live trading, because fills and spreads can differ, so treat the results as a rough guide and not as a forecast.

If you run a prop firm account, check its rules on trading around news before you copy anything onto it. Those rules are set by the firm, they differ from firm to firm, and they are yours to read. The article on prop firm rules and trade copiers covers how a copier fits inside them.

Does it need a VPS or a computer left on?

No. The MetaTrader terminals run on CopySignals' own servers, one per connected account, so there is nothing to install and no VPS to rent. A signal that arrives while your computer is off is still read and placed according to your settings. The same copier can send a signal to MT4, MT5 and eTrader accounts at once, each with its own spread limit, delay and sizing, so a funded account can be stricter than a personal one.

CopySignals supports MT4, MT5 and eTrader only. If your account is on another platform, it is not the right tool for it.

A practical setup for news days

Set a maximum spread a little above the ordinary reading for each instrument you copy. Add a short delay only if your room tends to post into the first seconds of a move, and accept that you will sometimes enter at a different price. Keep a cap on open positions so a burst of posts cannot stack up. Run it on a demo account through one scheduled release, read the event log, then move to live at a size you can afford. Trading carries risk, and none of these settings changes that.

All plans include the whole product, from the Starter plan, with a 30 day money back guarantee. The Telegram to MT5 page shows the setup from the first connection.
