CopySignals vs Telegram Signals Copier
Telegram Signals Copier runs on your own Windows PC or VPS and reaches cTrader; CopySignals runs on our servers and reaches eTrader instead. Here is what each one's own site says.
Telegram Signals Copier trades MT4, MT5 and cTrader from a Windows PC or VPS you provide. CopySignals trades MT4, MT5 and eTrader from a server we run, one terminal per connected account, so there is nothing to install and nothing that has to stay switched on at your end. If your account is on cTrader, Telegram Signals Copier is the one that supports it; CopySignals does not. Every fact about Telegram Signals Copier below was read on its own home page on 22 September 2026.
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. We make it, so read this paragraph as the vendor's paragraph and the rest of the article as a plain reading of what Telegram Signals Copier's own site says about itself.
What Telegram Signals Copier says about itself
Its home page lists MT4, MT5 and cTrader as the platforms it trades, and is direct about what that needs: "A VPS/PC with Windows is required." The same page recommends a VPS specifically so the copier keeps running when your computer is off. It reads private, copyrighted, public and restricted channels, says any signal format is supported, and adds OCR for signals posted as images, in multiple languages. The page does not say whether it reads Telegram through your own account or through a bot the channel owner has to add, so that is a question worth putting to their support before you connect a room that belongs to someone else.
On execution it claims "Fast execution in 0.300 milliseconds from signal receive", support for up to five take profits, and the option to close all opposite positions when a new signal arrives. Sizing is auto lots on balance, manual lots, or auto lots against a reference capital, with separate lot settings per pair and for metals and gold. It also lists unlimited Telegram channels on one licence and multiple strategies per account.
Where each one runs, and what that changes for you
This is the real difference between the two products. Telegram Signals Copier is software you download and run: the copier, and the Telegram session it reads, live on a Windows PC or VPS that you rent, patch and keep on. If that machine loses power or its internet drops, the copier stops reading Telegram until it is back. CopySignals runs the other way: connecting an MT4 or MT5 account starts a terminal for it on our servers, and an eTrader account is driven through eTrader's own copytrading API, so nothing is installed on your side and nothing has to stay switched on. The trade-off is platform choice. Telegram Signals Copier reaches cTrader because it runs its own software on your machine; CopySignals reaches eTrader because it is built against eTrader's API, and does not connect to cTrader.
What happens after the entry
Both products go beyond placing the first order. Telegram Signals Copier's page lists breakeven after a set number of pips, a trailing stop loss, and editing the stop and take profit from later messages, alongside the close-on-new-signal option above. CopySignals moves to break even after a chosen number of targets, closes a partial size at each target, trails the stop, and exits when the room posts a stop or the last target, all read from the same free text as the entry. Where Telegram Signals Copier counts pips for its breakeven trigger, CopySignals counts targets hit, which keeps the two settings comparable across symbols with very different pip values, such as a metal against a major pair.
Sizing compared
Telegram Signals Copier offers manual lots, auto lots against your balance, and auto lots against a reference capital, with a separate lot table for gold and metals. CopySignals sizes per account: a fixed lot, a percent of the account measured against the signal's own stop, or, when the source is one of your own connected accounts rather than a Telegram room, a multiple of the master's lot or the master's lot scaled by balance, always under a maximum lot you set. Percent against the signal's own stop is the one that keeps a wide-stop signal from becoming the largest loss on the account, because the lot shrinks as the stop widens rather than staying fixed.
Is there a Telegram Signals Copier alternative that needs no VPS?
Yes, if the account is MT4, MT5 or eTrader. CopySignals is a cloud alternative to Telegram Signals Copier for those three platforms: the terminal runs on our servers instead of yours, so there is no VPS to rent, patch or restart after a power cut. It is not an alternative for a cTrader account, since CopySignals does not support cTrader at all, and Telegram Signals Copier's own execution speed and its OCR reading of image-based signals are claims CopySignals does not make about itself. Our full case for skipping a VPS, including the different things "no VPS" can mean across the market, is in copying Telegram signals without a VPS.

Which one should you pick?
If your account is on cTrader, or the room you follow posts its signals as screenshots rather than text, Telegram Signals Copier reads both, and CopySignals does not. If you already keep a Windows VPS running for other tools, the extra cost of hosting one more copier on it is small. Choose CopySignals if your account is MT4, MT5 or eTrader and you want the entry and everything after it, the breakeven, the partials, the trailing stop and the close, handled on a server rather than a machine you maintain, and if you also want to mirror positions between your own accounts, such as a funded account and a personal one, from the same product. See copying Telegram signals to MT5 for the setup, or read the full list of Telegram signal copiers compared for how the rest of the market handles cTrader and the other platforms.
Whichever you run, the copier only places what the room posts. It does not make the room's calls good, and trading carries risk with either product. Test on a demo account or the smallest size the platform allows before trusting either one with real money.
Every CopySignals plan is the whole product regardless of which platform you connect. Starter is $14 a month for one trading account, Basic is $29 for three and Pro is $149 for thirty, with Business by email for more, billed monthly by card or crypto with a 30 day money back guarantee; see pricing.
