Send notification on Telegram
Send notification on Telegram
17 Jan 2025, 11:54
Hello,
I have developed an algo that has worked so far. The basic logic is that the algo places a buy/sell limit order in the chart based on certain criteria. I would still like to be notified when this happens (algo places limit order) in order to decide even more precisely whether it is advisable or not.
My question: Can you add a push notification to the algo that sends a message to Telegram, for example? cTrader obviously does not provide for sending push notifications when placing a limit order (why should it, in theory you place this type of order yourself).
I have created a Telegram bot that is intended for this purpose. I fed the algo with my Telegram API token and chat ID. The algo does not display any error messages either. However, the log shows this message: Error sending Telegram start notification: The type initializer for 'System.Net.CookieContainer' threw an exception. Is there any possibility that the algo can send out of cTrader? Could it be due to the firewall, my system, etc.
Can anyone help me?

I use Telegram.Bot from RoundRobin
Version 18, not version 23 that is giving me problems and it works well.
using Telegram.Bot;
internal static async void SendTelegram(string chatId, string token, string telegramMessage, CtraderEnvironment.CtraderEnvironment ctraderEnvironment) { // N.B. Use Telegram.Bot RounfRobin version 18 // Do not use latest version 23 because it's not working
if (chatId == "") return; if (token == "") return; if (telegramMessage == "") return;
string reply = string.Empty;
try { var telegramBot = new TelegramBotClient(token);
await telegramBot.SendTextMessageAsync(chatId, telegramMessage);
reply = "SUCCESS"; } catch (Exception exception) { reply = "ERROR in SendTelegram: " + exception.Message; ctraderEnvironment.Log.LogError(reply); } }
If you find a way to have the leatest version 23 working please tell me ))
