SIGNAL trading bots

Mini Bot V13.1 – Feature Specification

This page summarises what the desktop bot offers from a user experience point of view: which tabs exist, what they show, and how they work together with MT5 and Telegram. It avoids implementation details while giving enough depth for demos, documentation, or QA.

💻

Platform & requirements

  • Windows 10/11 (64‑bit).
  • Designed for MetaTrader 5 terminals that allow Expert Advisors (EAs).
  • Best experience on a Windows VPS for 24/7 uptime.
📌

Usage guidance

  • Always start on a demo account before trading live capital.
  • Confirm your broker supports EAs and automated order placement.
  • Understand your signal provider’s SL / TP style and latency before configuring automation.
  • Trading involves significant risk; nothing here is financial advice.

Tabs & workflows

Each tab focuses on a specific part of the trading lifecycle—from live execution and logs to strategy design, auditing and configuration.

  • Confirm Start / Stop behaviour, status banner and clock updates.
  • Match Dashboard P&L against MT5 for both server and system timezone modes.
  • Trigger sample Info / Warning / Error logs and verify filters respond instantly.
  • Save, duplicate and adjust a strategy; confirm the Audit tab reflects new behaviour.
