MT5 Desktop on-chart/terminal alerts, MT5 Mobile push notifications (from your MT5 terminal), and Telegram group alerts that are published by Lanami’s hosted MT5 indicator. You do not install a Telegram bot.

In MT5 Desktop, enable Notifications and connect it to your MT5 Mobile (MetaQuotes ID). Then run a test notification to confirm delivery. Your terminal must be running for push alerts to send.

Check your MetaQuotes ID, MT5 Desktop → Tools → Options → Notifications, and your phone’s notification permissions. Also confirm MT5 Desktop is running and connected (no connection = no push).

Yes, Telegram group alerts are sent by Lanami’s hosted MT5 indicator, so they are independent of your MT5 being open. However, MT5 Mobile push notifications require your own MT5 Desktop terminal to be running.

Most alerts are close-confirmed (sent after candle close). Small delays can also happen due to Telegram delivery timing or brief connectivity issues. If delays are frequent, compare the Telegram timestamp vs the candle close time.

Yes, the Lanami Telegram group can publish alerts across multiple symbols/timeframes as configured on the hosted system. Your personal MT5 push alerts, however, depend on what you run locally.

Telegram alerts show that the strategy conditions were detected. They are informational and not a guarantee of profit. Always apply your own risk rules and read the disclaimer.

Yes. If you’re running the indicator locally, you can disable popup/push/sound alerts and keep only on-chart visuals (depending on your indicator settings). Telegram group alerts are separate because they are hosted by Lanami.

Repeated alerts can happen if multiple timeframes/symbols trigger similar conditions, or if your local MT5 is set to alert more than once per candle. Prefer “on candle close” alerting where possible.

Yes. Telegram works on both iPhone and Android, and MT5 Mobile push notifications also work on both (once your MetaQuotes ID is connected and MT5 Desktop is running).

It can be applied to BTCUSD, but crypto volatility and slippage require conservative risk settings.

Yes, but silver may have different liquidity/spread characteristics, so be realistic with targets.

Gold often reacts strongly to liquidity shifts and macro news. Confirmation helps reduce false entries.

Liquidity and volatility profiles can change. Slippage can increase in certain conditions. Visit BTCUSD for more information.

The framework can be applied broadly. Test and use conservative risk until you understand behavior.
