Telegram Signal Bot

What is a Telegram bot for?

A Telegram bot lets you receive trading alerts on your phone when your strategy conditions are met. It does not trade for you — it notifies you so you can decide. It is the safest way to start with automation.

Steps to build it

1. Create a bot on Telegram with @BotFather
2. Get the bot token and the chat_id of your channel
3. Connect your market-analysis script to the bot
4. Send messages when a signal is detected

Basic code

import requests

TOKEN = 'your_token_here'
CHAT_ID = 'your_chat_id'

def send_signal(asset, direction, reason):
    msg = f"🔔 SIGNAL: {asset}\n"
    msg += f"Direction: {direction}\n"
    msg += f"Reason: {reason}"
    url = f"https://api.telegram.org/bot{TOKEN}/sendMessage"
    requests.post(url, data={"chat_id": CHAT_ID, "text": msg})
