What is an auto signal copier, and how is it different from a trade copier?
A signal copier reads trade ideas posted as chat messages and places the matching orders in your trading platform, so its hard problems are parsing text and deciding when execution is allowed. A trade copier instead mirrors positions from one trading account into another, where the source is already structured market data. AutoSignalCopier is a signal copier: it parses new Telegram and Discord messages into orders and routes them to MetaTrader 5 or 4 on your Windows PC. Our guide Signal copier vs trade copier explains the categories in full.
Does it copy signals from private Telegram channels and groups?
Yes. AutoSignalCopier signs in with your own Telegram account (QR code or phone number), so any group or channel you can read, including private ones you have joined, can be selected as a source. Only new messages from the chats you select are read: text, plus images and their captions on chats where you turn image reading on (off by default). Chat history is never imported.
Which signal sources are supported?
Telegram and Discord. Telegram signs in with your own account (QR code or phone number); Discord connects with a bot token or your own account token (prohibited by Discord's terms; opt-in, account-termination risk — a bot token is the recommended route). The app explains both routes and their trade-offs before you connect.
Does it work with MT4 or only MT5?
MetaTrader 5 (64-bit) and MetaTrader 4 (build 600+), on Windows 10 and 11. macOS and Linux are not supported.
Does my PC need to stay on? Can I run it on a Windows VPS?
Yes, the machine running the app needs to stay on: reading, parsing, and routing all happen locally on that PC, so there is nothing in the cloud to carry on without it. A Windows VPS works fine for this. Every plan includes 3 paired Windows devices, and a desktop, a laptop, and a VPS together count as three devices at no extra cost.
What signal formats can it read, and what happens with a message it can't parse?
It reads new text messages, and the text in image posts on chats where you turn that on, and classifies each one with parser version 3 as an entry, a management instruction, or chatter. By default, an entry that names no stop is refused (a routing setting you can change, though a destination sized by risk always refuses one) — and results-style recaps fall to ignored rather than parsing as fresh orders. Chat history is never imported. A message that does not fully match the expected shape is held for review in the inbox instead of being guessed at: nothing partial is ever ordered. If you turn on AI reading (off by default), such a message can be read by an AI you choose, and its reading still has to pass the same parser rules. Management instructions such as close or move SL act only on channels where you have turned trade management on, which is off by default.
How does trade management work?
When a provider replies “close half” or “move SL to entry”, parser version 3 classifies the message as a management instruction and turns it into protocol commands: close, partial close, break-even, move SL, move TP, cancel pending, or close all — one message can become two commands. Nothing runs automatically: each channel needs its own explicit consent, and consent is off by default. Binding follows a strict ladder — the reply link first, then the named instrument against that channel's open trades — and anything that matches nothing is refused with a reason rather than guessed at. Close-all wording only ever touches positions the copier itself opened, a lapsed subscription stops new entries without trapping you in open trades, and an edit made after routing is stored and shown while the trade itself is left alone. On a signal split across several take-profits, close, close half, break-even and move SL apply to every open position of that signal, while “TP2 to X” moves only the second position's target. Separately from the channel, a destination can move stops by its own break-even and trailing-stop rules, which are off by default.
How is lot size set?
Per destination, in one of three modes, alongside an explicit mapping from the provider's symbol to your broker's symbol (EURUSD to EURUSD.a, for example). Fixed lots is the default and sends exactly the volume you set. The two risk modes size each trade to risk either a percentage of balance or equity (up to 20%) or a fixed amount in the account's currency: the MetaTrader EA computes the lot at execution time from the live price, the signal's stop-loss distance and your broker's tick value, rounds it down to the broker's volume step so it never risks more than you set, and caps it at your own max lot for that symbol mapping and at the broker's maximum. Risk sizing is fail-closed. A signal with no stop loss is refused on a risk-sized destination rather than given a guessed volume. A lot that rounds below the broker's minimum is refused, unless you opt in to trading the minimum instead, which can risk more than you set. A destination still on an older connector refuses risk sizing and asks you to update the connector. An optional per-channel risk weight (0.5× for a provider you trust less, say) scales the risk, and the app previews what one trade risks from the terminal's last reported balance or equity. On a destination that uses every take-profit, the fixed volume or the risk is divided across the positions, never applied to each one.
Does my Telegram or Discord data go to your servers?
Your source sessions live on your Windows machine. Signal messages (Telegram chats, Discord channels) are read locally, and the trade path goes to MetaTrader over a loopback connection on that same machine. No one else's server is on the execution path, and source message bodies are never uploaded. Your account dashboard does mirror structured data from the agent: signals, trades, account snapshots, journal notes, and symbol mappings, so you can review them in the browser. It holds metadata, never message text.
Is AutoSignalCopier the same as AI Signal Copier?
No. AutoSignalCopier is a separate product: it copies signals from the Telegram and Discord channels you follow into MetaTrader 5 or 4 from your own Windows PC.
How much does it cost, and is there a free trial?
From $10 a month for one trading account, live or demo, plus $5 for each additional account. Paying quarterly takes 10% off, and paying yearly is ten months for twelve. The 7-day trial runs on the quarterly and yearly plans with no payment method; the monthly plan has no trial.
