What is the Telegram Messaging Service?
Telegram is a cloud-based messaging platform known for its speed, security, and extensive feature set, and it enables users to send text messages and screen images of your charts trading alerts. Telegram also offers channels and groups where users can follow public or private broadcasts, share content, and interact with large communities.
One of the most popular uses in trading and finance is to send real-time alerts and signals, where users can subscribe to channels that notify them of essential trading updates or market movements. The notifications are delivered instantly, allowing traders to respond quickly to market changes. Telegram’s end-to-end encryption and cross-platform availability make it a popular choice for traders.

NinjaTrader's Share Service
The NinjaTrader share service for sending email alerts allows traders to configure and send notifications directly to their email whenever specified conditions are met on the platform. This is particularly useful for receiving real-time updates about price changes, order executions, or custom alert conditions without staying on the NinjaTrader platform. These alerts can help you stay on top of market changes without constantly monitoring charts, as NinjaTrader will notify you as soon as your criteria are met.

How to Configure the NinjaTrader Discord Service
On the Control Center, click Tools from the menu, then select Options; it will open the Options window; choose Options -> General -> Preferences -> Share Services. You will now see the window above.
- Select Telegram from the available services.
- Select the add link.
- Click on the Configured Telegram option.
- You will see the properties on the right.
- Click on the Connect button to register the product.
- Once you have registered the product, enter your Telegram Bot Token and Chat ID.
- Select Apply, and the configuration is complete.

Alert Variables
You can only set up alerts with the shared service for the following variables:
- Price movement
- Indicator values
- Chart drawing objects
- Account & position stats
- Time data
This product does not send an alert when a trade opens or closes; you must use another tool.
Alert Conditions
You can receive a Telegram alert when one of the example conditions is met:
- Your daily profit & loss exceeds a certain threshold
- Your fast SMA crosses your slow SMA
- Price surpasses or falls below a set inflection point
- Price crosses above or below a drawing object on a chart
Sharing Options
Additional information can be shared with the alert:
- Position information - Share whether you are long, short or flat in a particular market
- Price information – Share the current price of an instrument
- Tab contents – Share a message with a screenshot of the tab attached
- Window – Share a message with a screenshot of the window attached
This tool will capture and send specific images from NinjaTrader, like the chart, window, price information, etc.
Use Case Examples of Alerts
This tool can be applied to any asset or indicator you add to your charts, for example, when the price of the SP500 crosses above or below a simple moving average indicator. With this type of trigger, you can receive a Telegram alert directly on your mobile phone or desktop computer the moment it happens. It can also capture an image of the chart and send this simultaneously.
