How does Nyria read a Discord alert message?
Nyria reads three things from each Discord message in order: its embeds, a quoted tweet, then the message body. The first one that gives a ticker, a direction and an action is used and the rest are ignored. Embeds are read as title, then description, then each field name and value. Wording that only asks a question, such as thinking about SPY, places nothing.
