Why isn't my Discord alert placing a trade?

A Discord alert places no trade when the Nyria bot cannot see the channel, the author or keyword filter excludes the message, the message was edited, or it was posted in a thread or a DM. Nyria reads messages posted in the picked channel. Post the alert again as a new message in that channel.

Official documentation

Find out why a Discord alert placed no trade

  1. 1

    Check the channel

    Confirm the alert was posted in the channel the strategy reads. Threads, other channels and DMs are not read.

  2. 2

    Check the bot's access

    The Nyria bot needs View Channels, Send Messages, Embed Links and Read Message History on that channel. Give it access if it is missing.

  3. 3

    Check the filters

    Open Message filters. The author filter matches all or part of the poster's display name, ignoring case. The keyword filter needs its text in the message.

  4. 4

    Test without the keyword

    Remove the keyword filter for one test. If the alert now reads, the keyword was the cause.

  5. 5

    Post it again

    Send the alert as a new message. Edits are not read again.

What Nyria reads

  • Messages posted in the picked channel of the picked server.
  • Posts from any member, bot or webhook, whatever their roles.
  • The ticker, direction and action, from the message's embeds or its text.

What it skips

  • Threads, other channels and DMs.
  • Later edits to a message.
  • Messages that fail the author or keyword filter.

Check the reading before you deploy

  • The Alert format card on the strategy's Integration tab shows what Nyria would have traded from a past message.
  • If the channel's messages show on that card, Nyria is reading the channel.
  • Use one channel per strategy so alert rules, sizing and broker accounts stay separate.
