Setting Up Telegram Alerts

StratBase.ai uses dedicated Telegram bots to deliver real-time trading alerts for 5 monitoring tools. Each tool has its own alert configuration.

| Tool | What It Monitors | |------|-----------------| | Economic Calendar | High-impact economic events (NFP, CPI, FOMC, etc.) | | OI Screener | Open Interest changes across exchanges | | Funding Rate | Funding rate anomalies (extremely positive/negative) | | REKT Screener | Large liquidation events | | Pump/Dump Detector | Sudden price spikes or crashes |

Each tool follows the same connection pattern:

1. Go to the tool's Alert Settings page (e.g., /oi-screener → bell icon)
2. Click "Connect Telegram"
3. Follow the deep-link to the corresponding bot
4. Send /start — you'll receive a confirmation

Note: Alert bots are separate from the notification bot. You connect once per tool.

Alert sets let you customize what triggers alerts:

1. Open Alert Settings for any tool
2. Click "Create Alert Set"
3. Configure:
   • Name — label for this alert set
   • Exchanges — which exchanges to monitor
   • Symbols — specific pairs or "all"
   • Thresholds — minimum values to trigger (e.g., OI change > 5%)
   • Daily limit — max alerts per day per symbol
4. Save — alerts start immediately

You can create multiple alert sets per tool, each with different criteria.

| Action | How | |--------|-----| | Enable/Disable | Toggle switch on each set | | Edit | Click the set name → modify parameters | | Delete | Click delete icon → confirm | | Test | "Send Test" button → sends a sample alert |

Alerts arrive as formatted messages with:

• Tool name and symbol
• Current value and change
• Exchange information
• Timestamp

All 5 alert tools share the same API structure:

| Endpoint | Description | |----------|-------------| | GET /settings | Current alert preferences | | PUT /settings | Update preferences | | POST /connect-token | Generate TG deep-link | | POST /disconnect | Disconnect TG from this tool | | POST /test | Send test notification | | GET /sets | List alert sets | | POST /sets | Create new set | | PUT /sets/{id} | Update set | | DELETE /sets/{id} | Delete set | | PATCH /sets/{id}/toggle | Enable/disable set |

• Start with higher thresholds and gradually lower them to find the right alert frequency
• Use the daily limit per symbol to avoid alert fatigue
• Create separate sets for different strategies (e.g., one for BTC, one for altcoins)
• Use the Test button to verify your connection works before waiting for a real event

Q: Why am I not receiving alerts? A: Check: (1) Bot is connected in alert settings, (2) At least one alert set is enabled, (3) Bot isn't muted in Telegram.

Q: Can I receive alerts in a Telegram group? A: No, alerts are sent to your personal chat with the bot only.

Q: How many alert sets can I create? A: Up to 10 alert sets per tool.
