# Relay2Trade > Telegram signal copier for MetaTrader 5: copy the signals from your Telegram groups to MT5 automatically. AI reads each signal, in any format or language, and trades it on your own account within your limits. Runs on your device or on a VPS, free day to try. ## Facts - What it is: a program that reads trading signals posted in the user's own Telegram groups and channels, has each message read by AI, and places and manages the trades in the user's own MetaTrader 5 account, inside limits the user sets. - Category: a Telegram signal copier for MetaTrader 5 (also searched as Telegram to MT5 copier, Telegram trade copier, copy trading from Telegram to MT5). The AI that reads signals is included in every plan; no AI account or API key of the user's own is needed. - Platform: Windows 10, Windows 11 and Windows Server 2019 or newer (64-bit), and Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora or Arch, 64-bit; one command from the Desk installs it). It runs on the user's own device or on a VPS that stays on, which the Desk sets up from any phone or computer. The Desk on relay2trade.com, also an Android app, follows and controls the app from anywhere. There is no macOS version. - Works with: MetaTrader 5, any broker and any instrument the broker offers (forex, gold, indices, crypto CFDs). It is built for MetaTrader 5 (MetaTrader 4 accounts are outside its scope). Broker symbol suffixes (XAUUSD.s, EURUSDm) are found automatically. - Markets: whatever the broker offers on MetaTrader 5. Forex majors and crosses (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, GBPJPY), metals (gold XAUUSD, silver XAGUSD), indices (US30, NAS100, SPX500, GER40/DAX, UK100), oil (WTI/USOIL, Brent/UKOIL), crypto CFDs (BTCUSD, ETHUSD) and shares where the broker lists them. Gold signal groups work like any other. - Signals it reads: scalping, intraday and swing calls; market and pending (limit and stop) entries; entry zones; several take-profits; stop-loss and take-profit as a price, in pips or in percent; follow-ups such as moving the stop-loss to entry or breakeven, closing half, closing all or cancelling a pending order; in any language. - Signal sources: the Telegram groups and channels the user is a member of, public, private or paid (VIP), read through the user's own Telegram account. - Accounts: live and demo MetaTrader 5 accounts, and several accounts at once. - Speed: median 0.6 seconds from a message reaching the app to the order being sent, measured over more than 1,300 traded signals. Telegram's delivery and the broker's execution are outside that figure. - Modes per signal group: Watch (record only, never trades), Manual (each signal waits 10 minutes for approval), Auto (trades immediately). - Testing before real money: dry runs replay a group's last 25, 50 or 100 messages (Basic, Advanced, Pro) through the same rules and the terminal's price history; nothing is placed. - Risk controls: size by percent of equity, fixed cash or fixed lots (shared across a signal's take-profits); a daily loss limit and a daily profit target, each counted on the closed trades or with the open ones too, and each able, when reached, to delete the pending orders and close the trades in loss or in profit; equity floor, maximum open positions and lots, spread and entry-deviation guards, trading hours and days, stop-loss policy, duplicate detection, maximum signal age. - Explains itself: every signal keeps a story in plain words of what was read, how it was sized and why it was traded or skipped. - Privacy: relay2trade.com keeps the account, its settings and the groups it follows, the licence, and what the sync switches send; it never keeps the broker password or the Telegram session. Customer data is never sold. - AI assistants: with the person's permission an assistant can work on their account through the MCP server at https://relay2trade.com/mcp (OAuth; signing a person up by email: https://relay2trade.com/auth.md): where it stands, getting the app running, profiles, listeners and settings, plans and limits, signals, notifications, items, the shop and support. Acting on signals, trades, the trading switch, passwords and codes stay with the person. - Support: answered by people, not a chatbot. support@relay2trade.com, or from inside the app with the log attached. - Languages: the website, the app, the Desk and the emails are in English, Romanian, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, Vietnamese, Russian, French, Turkish, Indonesian, Arabic, Hindi, Thai and Polish; every page has a version in each (listed below). Arabic reads right to left. - Plans (EUR, VAT included, renew automatically): 7 days 9.99 EUR for 7 days, Basic 19.99 EUR per month, Advanced 34.99 EUR per month, Pro 49.99 EUR per month, Basic 199.90 EUR per year (two months free), Advanced 349.90 EUR per year (two months free), Pro 499.90 EUR per year (two months free). The app is free to download; a plan switches it on. - Operator: Delvarom Systems S.R.L. (Romania, EU). The software executes only the user's own configuration on the user's own account: no trades are placed on anyone's behalf, no funds are held, and no returns are promised. Trading carries risk. ## Pages Each page is also here in Markdown: its address with ".md" added (the home page is /index.md). - [Overview](https://relay2trade.com) ([Markdown](https://relay2trade.com/index.md)): what it does, the facts, the plans and prices, frequent questions. - [Get it running](https://relay2trade.com/download) ([Markdown](https://relay2trade.com/download.md)): where it runs (a VPS, a Windows PC, a Linux machine), what it needs, and the steps to get it running. - [How it works](https://relay2trade.com/how-it-works) ([Markdown](https://relay2trade.com/how-it-works.md)): the path of a message from Telegram to a MetaTrader order, the rules you set, where your data lives. - [Setup guide](https://relay2trade.com/guide) ([Markdown](https://relay2trade.com/guide.md)): getting it running and the first connection, step by step. - [Running on a VPS](https://relay2trade.com/guide/vps) ([Markdown](https://relay2trade.com/guide/vps.md)): keeping it on around the clock on a VPS, set up from the Desk, on Linux or Windows. - [Frequently asked questions](https://relay2trade.com/faq) ([Markdown](https://relay2trade.com/faq.md)): the questions people ask most. - [Features](https://relay2trade.com/features) ([Markdown](https://relay2trade.com/features.md)): every feature, one page per area. - [Where the app runs](https://relay2trade.com/features/where-it-runs) ([Markdown](https://relay2trade.com/features/where-it-runs.md)): On your device, or around the clock on a VPS.
