Which chat should I keep, the channel or the group?

Either works. A strategy on the group reads the channel's posts too, so keep whichever fits how you post.

Does Nyria post anything in my chat?

No. Nyria joins as an admin that only reads and never posts.

Does it matter if I point both at the same broker account?

Each strategy places its own trade, so yes. Fix the pair so each alert is read once.

Can I test before going live?

Yes. Paste the alert into the alert tester to see how Nyria reads it.

Guide

Why did my Telegram alert trade twice in Nyria?

A channel's posts are also copied into its linked discussion group. If one Nyria strategy reads the channel and another reads that group, each alert reaches both and trades twice. Pick one chat. Open the extra strategy, switch it off or point it at a different chat, and keep a single strategy reading the alerts. A strategy on the group reads the channel's posts too, so one is enough.

Official documentation

Nyria docs: Trade alerts from a Telegram chat you run

Stop a Telegram alert from trading twice

1
List your Telegram strategies
In Nyria, find every strategy that uses Telegram as its alert source.
2
Check which chats they read
Open each strategy and note the group or channel it is set to.
3
Spot the pair
Look for one strategy on a channel and another on that channel's discussion group.
4
Keep one
Pick the chat you want. A strategy on the group already reads the channel's posts.
5
Switch off the other
Turn off the extra strategy, or point it at a different chat, then post a test message.

Why it happens

Telegram copies every channel post into the channel's discussion group.
Nyria reads each chat it is set to, so both strategies see the same alert.
Each strategy places its own trade, so the order goes out twice.

What to check after

Only one strategy reads the chat the alerts come from.
The strategy log shows one trade for a test message.
Your bots are deployed on the strategy you kept.

When it is not this

Two bots on one strategy place one trade each, by design.
A strategy with two alert sources can also trade twice. Check its Integration tab.
