Set up a crypto bot from Telegram signals

What to have ready before you start

What to know before you set up

What should a signal in the channel look like?

The bot reads the channel message and extracts the symbol, the direction, and, if present, the entry, stop, and targets. A message like the one below turns straight into a trade:

#BTCUSDT LONG
Entry: 61800 - 62100
SL: 60900
TP1: 63200  TP2: 64500  TP3: 66000
Leverage: 10x

• Symbol and direction are required — Formats like "BTC LONG", "ETHUSDT SHORT", and "BUY XRP" are read. If the direction or the symbol is missing, the message isn't treated as a signal and no trade opens.
• If there's no stop, the bot uses the percentage in the Stop Loss (%) field; if there are no targets, your own TP percentages are used. A trade never opens without a stop.
• If a leverage is written (10x, x10, Lev 10) and the Leverage mode is From signal, that value is used; if it exceeds the exchange's upper limit, it's lowered to the limit.
• Messages that only contain commentary, a chart, or a results post ("TP1 hit", "40% profit") don't turn into trades.

Quick setup (recommended)

Quick setup shows only the required and most commonly used settings. For most users, the defaults here are enough. If you want to see every setting, check the Advanced setup section.

Step 1Open the setup wizard

• Get Started — This button on the "Set Up New Bot" card opens the setup wizard.
• Set Up Your First Bot — If you don't have a bot yet, you can also open the same wizard with this button. Both lead to the same place.

Step 2Choose Telegram as your signal source

• Telegram card — Tap the card with the "Recommended" badge. As soon as you tap it, you move on to step 2 (choosing a market). The bot reads messages from the channels you belong to and turns them into orders.

Step 3Choose Crypto as the market

• Crypto card — Tapping the card takes you straight to step 3 (setup). There's also a Continue button on screen; both do the same thing. If you'll use both crypto and forex, set up a separate bot for each, so limits and target accounts don't get mixed up.

Step 4Choose a setup mode

1. Let's finish setup together — Get Started — If you'd like, you can start the interactive guide; it walks you through the required fields step by step in a short sequence. It's optional.
2. Quick setup — Shows only the required and most commonly used settings. This guide's main walkthrough follows this mode.
3. Advanced setup — Opens every section and every setting; the settings are split into tabs. Details are in the Advanced settings section.

Step 5Name your bot and see what's missing

12

Open image at full size

12

1. Bot name — Give your bot a name; it will appear under this name in your panel. Default: empty (an example name is shown). When to change it: to tell your bots apart if you have more than one. Example: "Crypto Momentum Bot".
2. Create Bot — Saves the bot right away. Creating a bot doesn't require an account; you can finish connecting Telegram and the exchange later from the bot card. The bot starts once the connections are complete.

Right below this panel, a list appears showing what's still missing for the bot to be able to run:

12

12

1. Show (Telegram) — Takes you straight to the Telegram connection section.
2. Show (API key) — Takes you to the exchange target section. There you can add an API key or turn on Demo mode.

Step 6Connect your Telegram account

The bot reads signal channels through your own Telegram account. Nothing is ever sent on your behalf; only the channels you choose are read. The connection stays live 24/7 and reconnects automatically if it drops.

123Example: +1 202 555 0147

Open image at full size

123Example: +1 202 555 0147

1. Step strip — Shows three steps: 1 · Your phone number → 2 · Enter the code Telegram sends you → 3 · Fetch channels.
2. Phone Number — Enter the number linked to your Telegram account with the country code. Default: empty. When to change it: only while connecting. Example: +1 202 555 0147 (a US number; use your own country code).
3. Send Code — A verification code is sent. The code usually arrives in the Telegram app; in some cases it may also arrive as an SMS to your phone. After tapping the button, a roughly 20-second countdown appears before you can tap it again.

12Enter the 5-digit code sent by Telegram or SMS into the code box — e.g. 12345

12Enter the 5-digit code sent by Telegram or SMS into the code box — e.g. 12345

1. Verification Code — Enter the 5-digit code sent to your Telegram app or by SMS to your phone. Default: empty. Example: 12345.
2. Verify & Connect — Confirms the code and connects your account. On success, the section shows "Connected".

123

Open image at full size

123

1. Connected badge — The section title shows a green "Connected"; below it you'll see the connected number and how many channels you've added.
2. Disconnect — Use it only if you want to connect a different Telegram account. Once you disconnect, the channel list disappears and the bot stops; you'll need to reconnect.
3. Connection note — The phone and code form is now hidden. The connection stays live 24/7 and reconnects automatically if it drops.

If your account has two-factor authentication (2FA)

• 2FA Password and Connect with 2FA — If two-factor authentication is on for your Telegram account, you'll be asked for your password once after the code. Enter it and tap Connect with 2FA. Default: empty, only shown if 2FA is required. Note: This is your Telegram two-factor password, not your AlgoVesta password.

Alternative: connect with your own API ID

The default path only asks for a phone number. You can also connect using your own Telegram app credentials via the I want to use my own API ID link in this section. If the quick connection isn't available at that moment, the panel opens this form on its own.

• ← Connect with just my phone number — If you switched to this form by mistake, this takes you back to the default (phone-only) path.
• my.telegram.org — Log in there with your phone → API development tools → Create an app. The form asks for an App title and a Short name (any name you like, e.g. AlgoVesta) and a Platform (Other); the URL and description can be left empty. It's free. Open the page in a new tab; don't close the AlgoVesta tab. The login code arrives in your Telegram app or by SMS to your phone.
• API ID — The api_id value shown on my.telegram.org; it's digits only. Default: empty. When it's needed: only if you choose this path. Example: 12345678.
• API Hash — The api_hash value on the same page; a 32-character code. You can show/hide it with the eye icon. Default: empty. Example: a1b2c3d4… (32 characters).

After entering the API ID and API Hash, the flow is the same: phone number → Send Code → code → Verify & Connect.

Step 7Choose your signal channels

123

Open image at full size

123

1. Search channel… — Searches the listed channels by name.
2. Fetch My Channels — Lists the channels and groups you're a member of. Each channel in the list has an Add next to it; an added channel becomes "✓ Added", and you can remove it with the delete icon.
3. Connect your Telegram account first — The channel list won't appear until your account is connected. Finish Step 6 first.

Once Telegram is connected, the same section lists the channels you're a member of:

12345

Open image at full size

12345

1. Search channel… — To find a channel by name in a long list.
2. Refresh Channels — This is the button's name once you're connected. If you've joined a new channel on Telegram, refresh the list here.
3. Add — The button next to the channel you want the bot to listen to. The channel you add moves to the top of the list and is also added to the Settings scope in Step 8.
4. ✓ Added and the trash icon — The channel has been added; you can remove it with the trash icon.
5. Channel report card — Under an added channel you'll see a summary such as "Last 7 days: 42 messages · 12 tradeable signals" and the symbol, direction, SL, and TP values of the latest signal. If the channel is quiet or its messages can't be read, a warning appears here.

Step 8Set the settings scope and Demo mode

12

Open image at full size

12

1. Settings scope — Choose which channels' signals these crypto settings apply to; you can select more than one channel. You need to add a channel in Step 7 first; added channels appear here as selectable chips. In the screenshot, no channel has been added yet, so it shows "0 channels selected". For a Telegram bot, the bot can't be started until at least one channel is selected.
2. Demo mode — NO real orders are SENT to the exchange (paper) — When turned on, channel signals are processed with a $5,000 virtual balance; nothing is sent to your exchange. Default: off. When to turn it on: when you want to try out a channel and its settings with no real-money risk, or if you don't have an API key yet. Example: watching a new channel in Demo for a week before switching to real trading.

After you add a channel, the Settings scope looks like this:

123

Open image at full size

123

1. Channel counter — Something like "1 channel selected", showing how many channels this bot listens to.
2. Channel chip — Every channel you add becomes a chip here; tap it to select or deselect it. A selected chip has a green check. Only the signals from selected channels are processed with this bot's crypto settings.
3. Remove — The trash icon on the chip removes the channel from the bot entirely; it also disappears from the list in Step 7.

12

Open image at full size

12

1. Demo toggle on — The bot now runs with a virtual balance.
2. "DEMO MODE ON" banner — The orange banner stays visible as a constant reminder that no real orders are being sent. Virtual results can genuinely differ by ±10%. A "Demo" badge also appears on the bot card.

Step 9Choose the exchange to trade on

12345

Open image at full size

12345

1. Futures / Spot — Chooses which market type the bot trades on. Default: Futures. When to change it: choose Spot if you want to actually buy the coin, without leverage. Example: Futures for a futures-style signal channel; Spot for a "buy and hold" style channel.
2. Start with demo — If you don't have an API key yet, use this to turn on Demo mode and continue right away ($5,000 virtual balance, live prices).
3. Add API Key — Opens the API Keys page. Keys are stored securely there, not in the wizard. Trade-only permission is enough; withdrawal access is never requested.
4. I connected it, refresh — After adding the key in a new tab, use this button to refresh the list; you don't need to leave the page.
5. Manage accounts — For adding or removing API keys. An exchange you just connected shows up here automatically.

After you add a key, your exchanges are listed as cards; signals open trades on the selected exchange:

1234

Open image at full size

1234

1. Futures / Spot — You can change it here after the key is connected, too.
2. Selected exchange card — The card with the blue border is the account signals will go to; "Key: …" is the last digits of the key. If you've connected more than one exchange, tap to switch.
3. TESTNET badge — A test-account key: the balance and trades are not real money. For real trading, choose an account without the testnet badge.
4. Manage accounts — Opens the API Keys page; you add or delete keys there.

Step 10Set the amount per trade and leverage

This is where you decide how much money is committed to each trade. There are three amount modes; the screenshot shows the default Fixed $ mode, and the other two are explained below.

1234

1234

1. Amount mode — Fixed $: the same amount every trade. Balance %: a percentage of your available balance; trades grow as your balance grows. Risk %: sized so that what you'd lose if stopped out is a set percentage of your balance. Default: Fixed $. When to change it: if you want trade size to change along with your balance. Example: Balance % of 5 on a 1,000 USDT balance → 50 USDT.
2. Amount per trade (USDT) — This amount is the collateral (margin), not the position size. On futures, position = amount × leverage. Quick buttons: $50, $100, $250, $500. Default: 100. Example: 100 USDT + 10x → a 1,000 USDT position; 100 USDT is locked on the exchange. The size is rounded to the nearest step the exchange allows; if the deviation would exceed 20%, the order isn't opened and you're told which amounts are possible.
3. Leverage mode (Futures only) — From signal: if the message states a leverage (e.g. x42), that's used; if not, your own setting is used. Fixed (my setting): the signal's leverage is ignored. Dynamic (from stop-loss): explained below. In every case, if the leverage exceeds the cap the exchange allows for that pair, it's brought down to that cap. Default: From signal. When to change it: choose Fixed if the leverage a channel posts feels too high to you.
4. Leverage (Futures only) — Slider from 1x to 125x; quick buttons at 3x, 5x, 10x, 20x. Higher leverage increases liquidation risk. Default: 10x. When to change it: lower it if you want to be more conservative. Example: 3x with 100 USDT collateral → a 300 USDT position.

• Balance % selected — The amount is no longer fixed; it's calculated from your balance.
• Balance percentage (%) — Each trade uses this percentage of your available balance. Default: 5. Example: 2,000 USDT available balance at 5% → 100 USDT collateral per trade.

• Risk % selected — Position size is calculated from the stop distance.
• Risk per trade (%) — What you'd lose if stopped out equals this percentage of your balance. Default: 1. Example: 1,000 USDT balance, 1% risk → about 10 USDT lost if stopped out; the closer the stop, the larger the position that's opened.
• Dynamic (from stop-loss) — Only works on Binance Futures. Leverage is calculated from the entry and stop-loss price, using the pair's maintenance margin on Binance: the highest leverage is chosen such that the liquidation price stays about 0.5% beyond the stop-loss. This mode uses isolated margin. On other exchanges, or if the data can't be read, the Leverage value above is used instead.

If you chose Spot, this section becomes simpler:

• Amount per trade (USDT) — On spot, this amount is the buy amount directly: if you enter 100 USDT, 100 USDT worth of coin is bought. The Leverage mode and Leverage fields don't appear, since spot has no leverage. The quick buttons ($50, $100, $250, $500) fill in the amount with one tap.

Step 11Set your take-profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) levels

This decides where profit is taken (TP) and where losses are cut (SL). There are two sources: Manual and From signal.

1234

1234

1. TP/SL source — Manual: the percentages you set below are used and override the signal's own targets. From signal: target prices are read from the message. The stop side works the same in both modes: if the signal has an explicit stop price, that's used; if not, it's calculated from your entry using your percentage. Default: Manual. When to change it: choose From signal if the channel gives clear target prices.
2. Take-Profit targets — Each row has a Target % (distance from entry — above entry on LONG, below on SHORT — a percentage, not a price) and a Close % (how much of the position closes when that target is hit). The rows can't add up to more than 100%; if you leave them below 100%, the remainder is managed by the stop/trailing. On futures, each target becomes a separate partial take-profit order on the exchange. Default: a single target — Target 3%, Close 100%. Example: entering 3 takes profit 3% above entry (on LONG).
3. Add target — Adds a new TP row; you can delete a row with the trash icon. Example: TP1 2% / 50%, TP2 4% / 50%.
4. Stop Loss (%) — Distance from entry as a percentage, not a price. Set below entry on LONG, above on SHORT. The stop is set on the exchange as a real order and its placement is verified; if it can't be set, the position is closed for safety. Default: 1.5. Example: 1.5 → 1.5% away from entry.

• From signal selected — TP/SL values are read from the signal message (parsed with AI).
• Take-profit split — Target prices come from the signal; this setting only decides how much of the position closes at each target. All at TP1 (100%), Split evenly across targets, or My own close percentages. Default: All at TP1 (100%). Example: if a signal gives 3 targets, "split evenly" closes roughly a third at each one. If the signal already states its own close percentage for every target, those are used instead.
• Stop Loss (%) — Also appears in From-signal mode, and matters there too: if the signal has a stop price, that's used; if the signal doesn't have one, the bot sets the stop itself based on this percentage from entry. This way, no trade is ever opened without a stop. Default: 1.5. Example: if a signal says "BTC LONG, TP 1, TP 2" without giving a stop, 1.5 sets the stop 1.5% below entry. In the setup summary, this shows as "From signal · 1.5%".

• My own close percentages — You decide how much closes at each target.
• Close % — The share to close for each TP row. Close percentages are scaled to 100% based on how many targets the signal actually contains.
• Add target — Adds a row for another target.

Step 12Set your daily loss and position limits

12

12

1. Daily loss stop — Once the limit is reached, the bot won't open new trades for the rest of that day; it resets at 00:00 UTC. SL/TP on open positions keeps working. Choose the unit as % (equity) or fixed USDT. Default: % (equity). Value box: the limit itself. Default: 5. Example: in % mode, 5 means the bot stops for the day once losses reach 5% of the equity you started the day with; in USDT mode, 50 means it stops at a 50 USDT loss.
2. Max drawdown brake (%) — All-time: the drop from your account's peak, which never resets. If it's exceeded, the bot stops and only restarts with your approval. 0 = off. Default: 15. Example: with a peak of 1,000 USDT, the bot stops once you drop below 850 USDT.

12

12

1. Max open positions — The most positions that can be open at the same time. Default: 5. Example: set it to 3, and a new signal that arrives while 3 positions are open is skipped.
2. Max daily trades — The most trades that can open in one calendar day (resets at 00:00 UTC). 0 = off. Default: 15. Example: set it to 5 on a very active channel to cap how many trades open per day.

Step 13Check the summary and create your bot

12

Open image at full size

12

1. Channel — Shows the signal channels you've chosen. A red "Not selected" means you haven't picked a channel yet (Step 7 and Step 8).
2. Target account — Shows the exchange account trades will open on. If Demo mode is on, it shows Demo (as in the screenshot). A red "Not selected" means you haven't connected an API key or turned on Demo mode (Step 9).

The summary also shows Amount, Leverage, Stop Loss, Daily loss limit, Max drawdown, Max open positions, and Max daily trades. Once everything's correct, fill in the Bot name field at the top of the page and tap Create Bot. If anything is still missing, the bot is created anyway but won't run yet; you finish the missing pieces from the bot card.

Advanced settings

In Advanced setup, the Crypto Setup section is split into tabs. Every field from Quick setup is here too; in addition, the settings below become available.

• Connection & Target — Settings scope, Demo mode, and the target exchange.
• Position & Risk — Amount, leverage, and Risk Management.
• TP / SL — Targets, stop, and stop management.
• Signals & Filters — Which messages turn into trades.
• Protection Shield — Automatic loss brakes, the calendar, and volatility filters.
• Advanced — Hedge, timing, and frequency limits.
• Reset this tab to defaults — After asking for confirmation, resets that tab's settings to their defaults. The small number next to a tab's name is how many of its fields you've changed from the default.

Per-channel reverse and win-rate filter

Inside the Telegram section, there's a "Channel Settings" accordion that appears in advanced mode. These settings apply only to signals from the channel you select.

• "Add a channel above first." — These settings are per channel; you need to add a channel under Signal Channels first. After adding a channel, pick one from the list to see the settings below.

123

Open image at full size

123

1. Channel list — The channels you've added are listed here; when you tap one, its name appears in the settings title and the settings below apply only to that channel.
2. Reverse signals — The reverse-direction toggle for the selected channel; explained below.
3. Win-rate filter — The win-rate threshold toggle for the selected channel; explained below.

• Reverse signals — Signals from this channel open in the opposite direction: BUY → SHORT, SELL → LONG. SL and TP are mirrored to the other side of the entry price. Default: off. When to turn it on: when trading against a channel's signals is a deliberate strategy of yours. Example: if the channel says "BTC BUY", the bot opens SHORT. While on, the channel shows a "REVERSE ON" warning.
• Win-rate filter — If this channel's realized win rate falls below the threshold, its signals are skipped. Default: off. When to turn it on: when you want to automatically mute a channel that's performing poorly.
• Minimum win rate % — The filter's threshold; shown once the filter is on. At least 10 closed trades are required; below that, the filter stays inactive. Default: 70. Example: set it to 60, and signals from a channel whose win rate drops below 60% won't be processed.

When you turn on "Reverse signals", a confirmation dialog appears restating what will happen (BUY → SHORT, SELL → LONG, SL and TP mirrored). Tap Approve to turn it on, or Cancel to back out.

Position and risk limits

The amount and leverage fields are the same as in Step 10. Risk Management expands with these fields in advanced mode:

1234

1234

1. Max open positions / Max daily trades — Same as in quick mode (Step 12).
2. Manual approval — Waits for your approval before every trade opens. Turning it on shows a red warning: incoming signals aren't executed automatically, and you must approve each signal within 45 seconds; if you don't, the trade doesn't open. Default: off. When to turn it on: during your first days of getting to know a channel. A "MANUAL APPROVAL ON" badge is shown while it's on.
3. Duplicate check — The same signal is never processed twice. Default: on. When to turn it off: generally not turned off; it prevents a duplicate position if a channel posts the same message twice.
4. Don't reopen the same symbol — A new signal is skipped while a position is already open on this symbol. Default: off. Example: if you have an open ETHUSDT position and the channel sends another ETH signal, a second position isn't opened.

Field shown once you turn on "Don't reopen the same symbol"

• Allow before close (min) — Shown while the setting above is on. Allows a new trade on the same symbol this many minutes after the open position was opened. 0 = wait until it closes. Default: 0. Example: 60 → a new signal for the same symbol can be processed one hour after the first position opened.

Breakeven, Ladder SL, and trailing stop

The target and stop fields are the same as in Step 11. The "SL / TP management" column on the right applies on top of both the signal and manual sources:

12345

12345

1. Trailing take-profit after last target — Once the last TP target is reached, profit continues to be taken as the price is tracked. Default: off. When to turn it on: when you also want to capture the move beyond the last target during strong trends.
2. Move SL to entry at 1R profit (breakeven) — Once the price moves in your favor by the stop distance (1R), the stop is moved to the entry price, so at worst the trade closes break-even. Checked on the server roughly every 60 seconds. Default: off. Example: entry 100, stop 98 (distance 2) — the stop moves to 100 once the price reaches 102. If you want the stop moved to entry when TP1 fills, use Ladder SL below instead.
3. Ladder SL — The stop moves up one step at each target: when TP1 fills, SL moves to entry; when TP2 fills, to TP1; when TP3 fills, to TP2. Requires multiple targets (a partial TP order must actually be set on the exchange). Default: off. Example: locking in profit step by step on a three-target setup.
4. Adjustable trailing stop — As the price moves in your favor, the stop follows behind it. Default: off. Turning it on shows the two fields below.
5. Entry zone — When a signal gives an entry range, this decides whether the trade still opens if the price has moved away. Market (ignore the zone), Only while inside the zone, or Max % away from the first entry. Only a move against you counts; a better price never blocks the order. Default: Market (ignore the zone). When to change it: if a channel's signals arrive late and you don't want to enter at a price that's already run away. If the signal has no zone, or the price can't be read, the order still opens.

Fields shown once you turn on Adjustable trailing stop

• Activation (%) / Pullback (%) Activation (%): the trailing stop kicks in once the price has moved this much in your favor from entry. Default: 2. Pullback (%): once active, the position closes if the price pulls back this much from its best level. Default: 0.5. Example: 2% activation, 0.5% pullback — tracking starts once the price reaches 2% profit, and it closes on a 0.5% pullback from the peak.

• Max % away from the first entry — If the price has moved against you by more than a set percentage from the signal's first entry price, the order doesn't open.
• Max deviation (%) — The largest deviation allowed. Default: 0.5. Example: LONG, entry 100, deviation 0.5 — if the price is above 100.5, the trade doesn't open; if it's dropped to 99 (a better price), it does.

Filter which messages turn into trades

123

Open image at full size

123

1. Entry keywords — Only signals containing these words are executed. Empty = all. Default: empty. Example: LONG, BUY — only messages containing these words turn into trades.
2. Block keywords — Signals containing these words are filtered out automatically. Default: empty. Example: CLOSE, UPDATE.
3. Blocked coins — These symbols never turn into trades. Default: empty. Example: adding a coin you find too volatile to the list.

Loss brakes, the economic calendar, and prop-firm rules

These are automatic brakes that protect your capital. Once the daily loss limit is hit, no new trades open that day, and it resumes automatically the next day. On permanent limits (max drawdown, prop-firm total loss), the bot stops completely.

123456

123456

1. Daily loss stop — Explained in Step 12.
2. Consecutive-loss protection — After this many stop-outs in a row, the bot cools down. 0 = off. Default: after 3 losses. Wait choice: Stop for 2 hours, Stop for 4 hours, or Stop until end of day. Default: Stop until end of day. Example: 3 losses + 4 hours — after the third stop-out, no new trades open for 4 hours.
3. Max drawdown brake — Explained in Step 12.
4. Intraday trailing drawdown — Tracks the drop from the peak reached during the day; it resets every day (the prop-firm-style trailing rule). It runs as a separate rule alongside the all-time brake. Default: off.
5. Daily profit lock — Once the daily profit target is reached, the bot stops for the rest of the day, so you don't give your gains back to the market. Default: off. Daily profit target (%): the profit level that triggers the lock. Default: 3. Example: if you started the day with 1,000 USDT, the bot stops for the day at around 30 USDT profit.
6. Prop-firm challenge mode — Applies prop-firm challenge rules: daily and total loss limits, minimum trading-day tracking. Default: off. When to turn it on: if you're trying to pass a funding firm's challenge with this bot.

Fields shown once you turn on Intraday trailing drawdown

• Intraday drawdown limit / Daily reset hour (UTC) Intraday drawdown limit (%): once you've dropped this much from the intraday peak, no new trades open. The peak is sampled on the server roughly every 30 seconds, not instantly. Default: 5. Daily reset hour (UTC): the hour intraday tracking resets. Match it to your prop firm's day-rollover time. Default: 00:00. Example: roughly 22:00 UTC for a firm that uses 17:00 EST.

Fields shown once you turn on Prop-firm challenge mode

• Rule set — Ready-made templates: Generic 2-phase (5% / 10%), Generic 1-phase (4% / 6%), rule sets similar to ("compatible with") several firms, and "Custom — I'll enter the values myself". The firm names are just a convenience template; there's no official affiliation with any firm, and the values are approximate — always confirm the current rules of the firm you're applying to. Default: Generic 2-phase (5% / 10%). You can change every field by hand after choosing a preset.
• Daily loss limit (%) — Once your equity drops this much from the start of the day, no new trades open that day (resets at 00:00 UTC). Default: 5.
• Total loss limit (%) — Once your balance drops this much from the start of the challenge, the challenge stops; no new trades open until you reset it manually. Default: 10.
• Consistency rule (%) — If your single best day's profit exceeds this percentage of your total profit, no new trades open. Requires at least 2 trading days and a positive total profit. 0 = off. Default: 0. Example: 25 → no single day's profit can exceed 25% of your total profit.
• Min. trading days — Tracked only; it doesn't block trading. Default: 4.
• Reset challenge — Resets the counters when you start a new challenge.

1. Economic calendar filter — No new trades open around high-impact releases (FED, CPI, NFP…); signals in this window are rejected with a "calendar" label. Calendar data updates automatically. Default: on. When to turn it off: if you also want trades to open during news events.
2. Impact level and Before / after event (min) Impact level: High only, or Medium + high. Default: High only. Before event (min): how many minutes before the event to stop opening trades. Default: 30. After event (min): how many minutes after the event to keep waiting. Default: 30. Example: 30/30 — for a 15:30 release, no new trades open between 15:00 and 16:00.
3. Watched events — Choose which event types to wait around. With everything selected, unknown high-impact events are also blocked; with nothing selected, the calendar doesn't block anything. FED / FOMC — US central bank decisions. Default: selected. CPI (Inflation) — Inflation data. Default: selected. NFP (Non-Farm Payrolls) — US employment data. Default: selected. ECB — European Central Bank. Default: selected. BoE — Bank of England. Default: not selected.
4. Volatility guard — Temporarily pauses new trades during a sudden sharp move (a news shock, a liquidation cascade). Default: off.
5. Funding filter — No new position opens while the absolute funding rate is above 0.1%, protecting you from expensive carry costs. Default: off. When to turn it on: if you keep positions open for extended periods.

Fields shown once you turn on the Volatility guard

• 1-minute move threshold / Wait time — Shown while the volatility guard is on. 1-minute move threshold (%): the guard kicks in if the price moves this much within one minute. Default: 1.5. Wait time (min): how long new trades stay paused once it kicks in. Default: 15. Example: if BTC moves 2% in one minute, no new trades open for 15 minutes.

1. Hedge mode (futures) — Allows both directions (LONG and SHORT) open on the same symbol at the same time. Only shown on Futures. Default: off.
2. Auto-close (hours) — An open position is closed after this many hours. 0 = off. Default: 0. Example: 24 → a position never stays open longer than a day.
3. Cooldown (min) — No new trade opens for this many minutes after the last trade opened. 0 = off. Default: 0. Example: 10 — when signals arrive back-to-back, trades will be at least 10 minutes apart.
4. Max same direction — The most positions that can be open at once in the same direction (e.g. all LONG). 0 = off. Default: 5.
5. Max trades / hour — The most trades that can open in the last 60 minutes. 0 = off. Default: 0.
6. Max trades / week — The most trades that can open in the last 7 days. 0 = off. Default: 0.
7. Max trades / month — The most trades that can open in the last 30 days. 0 = off. Default: 0. The hourly, weekly, and monthly limits are rolling windows; the daily limit is a calendar day.
8. Allowed UTC hours — The bot only opens trades during these UTC hours; if left empty, any time is allowed. Default: empty. Example: 7,8,13,14.
9. Allowed days — The bot only opens trades on these days; if left empty, every day is allowed. Days are written with their English abbreviation. Default: empty. Example: mon,tue,wed.

After you create the bot

When you tap Create Bot, the wizard closes and a new bot card appears in the My Bots panel. Everything from here on happens on the card:

1. Bot card — Name, source (Telegram · Crypto), and status. A Demo bot carries a "Demo" badge.
2. "This bot can't open trades" list — If a prerequisite is missing (Telegram isn't connected, no channel selected, no target account), the card doesn't show a green "Running"; it lists what's missing, one by one.
3. Complete setup — Takes you to the relevant section of the wizard; once the missing item is filled in, the bot is ready to run.

• Start / Stop — You can stop and restart the bot from the card. A stopped bot doesn't process new signals; it doesn't touch your open positions or the SL/TP orders on the exchange.
• When the first signal arrives — The bot reads the signal, checks your limits, and opens the order on the exchange. If Manual approval is on, an approval card appears in the panel first; if you don't approve within 45 seconds, the trade doesn't open.
• Where you see the trade — In the panel's Open positions section, the entry price, SL/TP, leverage, and live profit/loss are shown exactly as read from the exchange; closed trades move to Closed trades. If a signal didn't turn into a trade, the card shows a "signal received, no trade opened" note with the reason.
• Changing settings — With Edit on the card, the wizard opens with the same bot's settings; once you save, the changes apply to later signals and open positions are not affected.
• Notifications — You can turn on Telegram notifications for opened and closed trades, rejected signals, and errors that need your attention from the panel's Notifications page.

Glossary of terms

TP (Take-Profit)

The target where profit is taken. In this wizard it's written as a percentage distance from entry.

SL (Stop-Loss)

The level where a loss is cut. Set on the exchange as a real order.

Leverage

How many times your collateral the position size is. 10x: a 1,000 USDT position with 100 USDT collateral. Exists only on Futures.

Collateral / margin

The amount locked on the exchange for a position. The "Amount per trade" field is the collateral.

Liquidation

The exchange force-closing a position once losses reach the collateral. Higher leverage brings this level closer.

Drawdown

The percentage drop from the account's peak.

R (1R)

The distance between entry and stop; the unit of risk. When the price moves 1R in your favor, the trade is in profit by the stop distance. Breakeven triggers at this threshold.

Breakeven

Moving the stop to the entry price; from that point on, the trade closes at worst without a loss.

Trailing

The level following the price from behind as it moves in your favor (trailing stop, trailing take-profit).

Futures

A market where you buy and sell the price of a coin, not the coin itself, with leverage and the option to go SHORT.

Spot

A market where you buy the coin itself. No leverage.

LONG / SHORT

LONG: a trade betting the price will rise. SHORT: a trade betting it will fall.

Demo / paper

Practice trades made with a virtual balance ($5,000) that never send real orders to the exchange.

API key

The key you create on the exchange so the bot can trade on your exchange account. Trade-only permission is enough; withdrawal access is never granted.

UTC

Coordinated Universal Time, the world's common reference time.

Funding

A fee paid at regular intervals between LONG and SHORT sides on the futures market.
