Remote Telegram Voice Commands for MetaTrader 5 Trading

Article MQL5 articles

Summary

The article presents a semi-automated pipeline for sending voice trading commands to a MetaTrader 5 terminal remotely. A Telegram bot receives voice notes, transcribes them with Google speech recognition, parses a command, and places it in a Python queue. A local HTTP server exposes queued commands to an Expert Advisor, which polls for instructions, executes trades with CTrade, and posts results for the bot to relay to the user.

The document describes the components, setup, data flow, polling and response handling, and gives latency and bandwidth estimates for the example system. It emphasizes that the terminal must remain running, that WebRequest access must be configured, and that the middleware depends on Telegram, transcription, and a local Python service. Its command parser and in-memory queue are deliberately simple, so the article is an implementation example rather than evidence that remote voice execution is safe or suitable for unattended trading. The workflow can reduce interaction friction, but execution still depends on connectivity and correct command interpretation.

Key ideas

  • A Telegram bot and Python middleware can relay voice commands to an MT5 Expert Advisor over local HTTP.
  • The EA polls for commands, executes them through CTrade, then returns the result to the bot.
  • The example uses Google speech recognition and an in-memory queue, with a polling interval of two seconds.
  • The terminal must remain online, and command interpretation and connectivity are operational dependencies.
