Guide

Options alerts on Telegram, traded automatically

An options alert posted in a Telegram group or channel you run can be an order in your own broker account, with nobody retyping it. This guide covers how Nyria reads the chat, what a single-leg and a multi-leg alert need to say, and how a free paper bot grades the service before any money is at risk.

How Nyria reads a Telegram chat

  1. 1

    Link your Telegram account

    Create a strategy with Telegram as the alert source and select Connect Telegram. Telegram opens a chat with @NyriaAlertsBot. Press Start, then tap Link in the bot's reply. The reply names the Nyria account it links, so check that it is yours.

  2. 2

    Add Nyria to the group or channel

    Select Add Nyria to a group or Add Nyria to a channel and pick the chat. Telegram makes Nyria an admin with one right, manage chat. It reads messages and never posts. You need to be the chat's owner, or an admin who can add admins.

  3. 3

    Narrow what it reads

    Two optional filters: Author reads only messages whose sender's display name contains your text, and Keyword reads only messages containing a word such as ALERT. In a channel without signatures the author is the channel's name, so use the keyword filter there.

  4. 4

    Check the format on real messages

    The Alert format card previews recent messages from the chat. Assign one to each of Long entry, Long exit, Short entry and Short exit, and Nyria shows what it would have traded. Fix any that read wrong. The strategy turns Active when every trade type it enables has a message Nyria can read.

  5. 5

    Deploy a bot

    Select Deploy bot and pick an account: Nyria Paper first, a broker later. From then on, each message that passes the filters places a trade.

Stale alerts are not entered. An alert more than a minute old opens nothing, and neither does one that arrives after a newer message for the same strategy. Exits still run, and the strategy log says why. To take the entry, post the alert again. Messages that other bots post in a group are not read, and Nyria keeps a chat's recent messages for the preview for 7 days.

What a single-leg alert needs

Telegram alerts are free text, read the same way as Discord alerts. Every alert needs a ticker, a direction and an action.

Entry

AAPL 345C buy to open

Exit

AAPL 345C sell to close

The strike and the side are in the contract, 345C. An entry with no date takes the nearest listed expiration, which can be today's (0DTE), even late in the day.

What a multi-leg alert needs

For a spread such as an iron condor, the legs do not go in the alert. You set the structure once on the strategy, in the What it trades step, and every alert opens it.

The message in the chat

SPY short entry

The order the bot places, from its Logs tab

Sell SPY 750p 11/20
Buy SPY 745p 11/20
Sell SPY 795c 11/20
Buy SPY 800c 11/20

The exit

Close short SPY

The alert carries the ticker, the direction and the action. Short on a credit structure opens the short-premium legs you configured. The strikes, the expiration and the contract count come from the strategy and the bot, so the four legs above are what the strategy's rules chose on the day, not what the caller typed. Orders carry up to 4 legs.

Prove the service on paper first

Deploy the strategy on Nyria Paper, the simulated broker built into Nyria. It is free on every plan and runs up to 10 paper bots. A market order fills at the ask to buy and the bid to sell, from the quote Nyria read when the alert arrived, and it never slips. A limit is filled or refused at once against that quote, with the reason in the bot log. Options alerts are refused while the options market is closed.

Let the caller's real posts fire for one to two weeks. The bot's Logs tab stamps every alert and every order, so for each call you can hold the price the caller posted next to the price the paper bot filled at, and count how many entries got a posted exit. Paper P&L reads better than live, because a paper fill pays the quoted spread and nothing more. It shows that the setup works and that Nyria reads each alert the way you meant. It does not show whether the strategy makes money, and it does not show slippage, partial fills, broker rejections such as your option approval level, or assignment.

Go live later

Deploy a bot on the live account, or edit the paper bot and pick the live account. The first live deploy asks you to accept the risk disclosure. A bot on a live account needs a Nyria Pro plan, or access to a Premium strategy you have bought. Orders go to Charles Schwab, Tradier, tastytrade or Alpaca. Hold capital for both entries and exits, since a credit spread exits as a debit, and start with a budget per entry you can afford to lose in full.

The full setup, from the Start code to a live bot, is in the Telegram step-by-step guide. The same checks for a Discord channel are in real-time options alerts on Discord.

Questions

Can Nyria read a paid Telegram channel I only subscribe to?
No. Nyria joins a group or channel as an admin, so you need to own it or be an admin who can add admins. If the caller publishes the alerts as a Nyria strategy, subscribe to it there and your bot trades in your own broker account.
What happens if the caller edits or deletes an alert?
Nothing. Nyria acts on a message as it was first posted. An edit places no order and changes none already placed. A position closes only when a message reads as an exit, so ask the caller to post exits as new messages.
What does it cost to test an alert service this way?
Nothing. Paper is free. Live trading from $15 a month.
