Why didn't my edited Telegram alert trade in Nyria?
Nyria acts on a Telegram message as it was first posted. Editing it later places no order and does not change one already placed. To fix an alert, post a new message with the right text. To undo a trade, send a normal exit alert. Before you rely on a format, paste the text into the alert tester to see how Nyria reads it.

What an edit does
- It places no order.
- It does not change an order already placed.
- A new message is read as a new alert.
Other reasons a message does not trade
- A filter left it out. Check the author and keyword filters.
- Another bot posted it in a group, and Nyria does not read other bots' messages there.
- It arrived late and placed no new entry. A close in it still runs.
Writing a message Nyria reads
- Every alert needs a ticker, a direction and an action.
- Free text such as SPY long entry or Close short BTC works.
- Check a message in the Alert format card before you deploy a bot.
Questions
- Can I delete a Telegram message to cancel it?
- No. Nyria acts on a message when it is first posted. Send an exit alert to close a position.

- No. Post the corrected alert as a new message.

- No. Nothing already placed changes.
