Automate Telegram alerts to E*TRADE
Nyria lets you auto trade each Telegram alert in your E*TRADE account.


Setup steps
Add Nyria as a read-only admin of a Telegram group or channel you run. Pick that chat in a Nyria strategy. Then connect your E*TRADE account in Nyria with your own consumer key. Each call posted there becomes an order in your own E*TRADE account. Nyria connects live E*TRADE accounts only, so test it free on Nyria Paper first.
- 1Connect E*TRADE. Request your own production key on E*TRADE's API key request page. In Nyria open the E*TRADE card on Integrations and paste the consumer key and consumer secret. Nyria opens E*TRADE's sign-in in a new tab. Log in, accept access and paste the verification code. Sign in again each day, because E*TRADE ends access at the end of each day, US Eastern.
- 2Link Telegram. In Nyria, select Create strategy, pick Telegram and select Connect Telegram. Telegram opens a chat with @NyriaAlertsBot. Press Start, then tap Link in its reply.
- 3Add Nyria to your chat. Select Add Nyria to a group or Add Nyria to a channel. Make Nyria an admin. You need to own the chat or be an admin who can add admins. Nyria asks for one right, manage chat, and only reads. Pick the chat. Set an Author or Keyword filter if others post there.
- 4Check a real message. Choose a real message in the preview. The strategy stays inactive until Nyria reads one correctly. The Logs tab shows the symbol, side and contract it read.
- 5Deploy a bot. On the strategy, select Deploy bot. Pick the E*TRADE account on the Account step and set a Budget per entry. Live bots need a Nyria Pro plan or a Premium strategy you have bought. The next alert becomes an order.
What a Telegram alert must say
Nyria needs the ticker, the side, and whether it opens or closes a position. It reads plain text or JSON in your own wording. There is no template to follow. For options, Provided in alert reads the strike, expiry and call or put. From my rules picks the contract.
Write the call the way the poster already does. BTO AAPL 345c 11/20, or a plain sentence. Messages that other bots post in a group are not read.
An alert cannot set the size: each bot's budget per entry does. Exits come from your exit alerts.
A stock entry
NVDA long here 228
Buy NVDA. With the limit set to Alert price, the order goes out at 228. With Bid, Ask or Mid, Nyria prices it from the live quote.
An exit, written as a sentence
Taking profits on NVDA here
Close the open NVDA position, matched against what the bot is holding.
What E*TRADE does with it
E*TRADE connects with your own consumer key and E*TRADE's sign-in, so the password never reaches Nyria. Nyria stores the consumer secret and session tokens encrypted at rest. Access ends at midnight US Eastern each day, and an alert that arrives before you sign in has no live session to trade on.
Options go to E*TRADE as single legs or two-leg spreads in one order. Three- and four-leg shapes are not placed. E*TRADE needs options approval at the level the trade requires.
A crypto alert places no order on this connection. Use Alpaca or Nyria Paper for crypto.
Each alert becomes a market or a limit order, as the strategy sets it. Nyria previews each order with E*TRADE and then places it. Nothing waits at E*TRADE between alerts. The exit comes from your alert.
Questions
- What if a Telegram message is edited or arrives late?
- An edited message places no order, so post a new one. An alert over a minute old, or behind a newer one, opens nothing. A close in it still runs.
- Does Nyria hold my E*TRADE password?
- No. You sign in on E*TRADE's own page. Nyria stores the consumer secret and session tokens encrypted at rest.
- Can I test before trading real money at E*TRADE?
- Nyria connects live E*TRADE accounts only, so run the strategy on Nyria Paper first. When the log reads the way you expect, deploy a second bot on the E*TRADE account.
- How fast does an alert become an order?
- Sub-second, alert to order.
