Safety

Dry-run is the default. Set LIVE_TRADING_ENABLED=true only when you intend to send live MT5 orders.

Cursor priming

On first run the service primes the cursor to the latest Telegram message and skips old chat history, so historical signals are not replayed into the terminal.

Deduplication

Deduplication uses (chat_id, message_id) so restarts do not duplicate orders. Handled keys are persisted under STATE_DIR (see Logs & State).

Live order path

Live orders require all of the following:

LIVE_TRADING_ENABLED=true
MT5 initialization
Symbol visibility / selection
order_check
Then order_send

Missing SL / TP

Missing SL/TP are allowed, but logged as missing_sl and missing_tp.
