Flat by CloseTelegram automation
You can have the real-time signals placed on your own platform automatically. We run the same copier a subscriber would, on one test account on separate hardware, reading the same private channel. Every leg it copies is logged here against the strategy's own fill, good or bad.
The copier we use: Trade Dispensary
Trade Dispensary is copier software that runs on your own computer. Its Telegram source reads our private channel and places each signal on your platform as it arrives, with the stop and target attached.
- Connects to NinjaTrader, Tradovate, MT5 and other platforms.
- Reads the entry, add and exit messages, so adds and the flat-by-close exit are handled for you.
- You choose your own size and set your own loss limits.
- It runs on your computer, under your control. We never see or touch your account.
- It is what our own copy test account runs, so the record below is measured on exactly this setup.

Trade Dispensary is independent of Flat by Close. We may earn a commission if you buy through this link, at no extra cost to you. Trade Dispensary is order-routing software and does not provide trading advice. Past results are not a prediction of future results, and trading futures carries substantial risk of loss. You are solely responsible for how you use the signals, including complying with the rules of your broker, platform, or any funded or evaluation account provider, some of which prohibit copying third-party signals.
How the copy works
The strategy fills. A few seconds later the entry message reaches the private Telegram channel, with the stop and the target as prices.
Copier software on your computer reads the channel and sends a market order to your platform, with the stop and target attached as a bracket the moment it fills.
Your bracket closes the trade at its target or stop on your own platform, without waiting for a message. The exit message is a backstop: it closes anything still open and cancels leftover orders.
When a trade adds a second unit, an add message places it and moves both units to the new stop and target together.
Anything still open is closed before the bell by a scheduled exit message. No positions are held overnight.
Telegram messages name the index: NAS100 is the Nasdaq-100 (NQ), US500 is the S&P 500 (ES). You map them once in your copier to the contract you trade, such as MNQ or MES futures, or CFDs.
How closely the copy tracks the signal
All trades are executed in a simulation account, not a live market.
These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
Copy fill versus signal fill, every leg (points)
| Market | Round trips | Entries (pts) | Exits (pts) | Net per round trip (pts) | Per micro contract |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NQ (copied as MNQ) | 5 | +0.55 | −0.65 | −0.10 | −$0.20 |
Positive = the copy filled at a better price than the signal; negative = worse. Per micro contract: MNQ $2 and MES $5 per point, before commissions.

Newest first. Signal fill times are recorded to the second, copy fill times to the millisecond. Service no-trade days are left out, as on the performance page.
What this does and doesn't show
- The strategy and the copy test account both run on simulation accounts. A resting target on a simulation account fills when price touches it; in a live market a touch is not always a fill, so live target exits can be worse than shown here.
- Entries go in at market a few seconds after the signal, so they can fill better or worse than the signal's price. Fast markets cost more.
- Your own results depend on your copier, platform, connection, size and settings. This is one setup, measured honestly, not a promise about yours.
- The record is short. It started on Oct 29, 2026 and grows with every session.
