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 important 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 needing to constantly monitor charts, as NinjaTrader will notify you as soon as your criteria are met.

Make sure you first click on the Connect button to register the product.
Configure Telegram Settings: First, go to the Control Center, click on Tools, then select Options. Under the Share Services tab, select Telegram and enter your Bot Token and Chat ID.
Test the Email Service: It’s recommended to send a test email to ensure the configuration is correct.
Set Up Alerts with Email Actions: After configuring the email service, go to the Alerts window to create or edit an alert condition. In the alert's Actions section, select Email as the action to be performed when the alert is triggered, then specify the recipient’s email address and customize the message if needed.
Save and Activate: Save the alert, and it will now automatically send email notifications whenever the alert conditions are met.
This feature is ideal for traders who need to stay informed of market activity while on the go.
