# What Relay2Trade does, and how to use it

Relay2Trade reads the signals posted in your Telegram groups and places them in your own MetaTrader 5, inside the limits you set. Each page covers one part of the app.

- [Where the app runs](https://relay2trade.com/features/where-it-runs.md): On your device, or around the clock on a VPS. The Desk sets a VPS up with you, from any phone or computer.
- [Connect MetaTrader 5](https://relay2trade.com/features/metatrader.md): Log in to your broker from the app: pick an account it found on your PC, search your broker's server by name, or let MetaTrader's own broker search find it.
- [Listeners, modes and dry runs](https://relay2trade.com/features/listeners.md): Add a Telegram group, pick Watch, Manual or Auto, and test the group on its own history before trusting it with money.
- [What the app understands in a message](https://relay2trade.com/features/signals.md): Which posts become trades, which are left alone, how follow-ups find their trade, and what happens to late messages and duplicates.
- [Sizing and safety limits](https://relay2trade.com/features/sizing-and-safety.md): Risk a share of the account or a fixed amount per signal, cap what is open at once, and stop for the day after a set loss.
- [Take-profits, trailing stop and runners](https://relay2trade.com/features/take-profits.md): Split a signal across its targets or hold it as one trade, move the stop up as targets are reached, and follow runners behind the price.
- [Monitoring from the PC and the phone](https://relay2trade.com/features/monitoring.md): The Dashboard, the story behind every signal, open positions, notifications, and the Desk for your phone.
- [Profiles and several accounts](https://relay2trade.com/features/profiles.md): One licence, several MetaTrader 5 accounts: each profile has its own terminal, Telegram login, listeners and rules, all running at once.
- [Levels, seasons, cards and the shop](https://relay2trade.com/features/progression.md): Using the app earns XP, levels, free days and extra plan limits. Trades are placed the same way whatever your level, and boards rank only what you earned.
- [Speed, reliability and support](https://relay2trade.com/features/speed-and-support.md): Median 0.6 s from message to order, signed updates, automatic MetaTrader repair, catch-up after an outage, and support answered by people.
- [A buyer's checklist for signal copiers](https://relay2trade.com/features/checklist.md): The questions to ask of any Telegram to MetaTrader copier, what Relay2Trade does for each, and which plan fits.
