Core Concept:

What is a Telegram Bot? It is a special Telegram account controlled by code that can automatically process messages. Here, it acts as a messenger, fetching alert messages from your trading platform and delivering them to your Telegram chat. The workflow has three simple steps: 1. Create your dedicated messenger via BotFather → 2. Start and activate your messenger → 3. Submit the messenger’s Token and recipient address to the trading platform.

Create the Bot

1. Search for @BotFather in Telegram. @BotFather is Telegram’s official bot management account with a blue verified checkmark on its avatar. Open the chat and tap the START button to begin.

2. Send /newbot to BotFather to start bot creation.

3. First, set a display name for your bot (e.g. My Trading Assistant). This name appears in your chat list. Then set a unique username. The username must end with “bot” or “_bot”, for example: my_trading_alert_bot. Once created, @BotFather will send a message including an access link and your critical Token.

Activate the Bot

1. Locate the t.me/xxxx_bot link in BotFather’s message and click to open your bot chat.

2. Tap the START button inside the chat. This powers on the bot.

3. Send any message to the bot, such as “hello”. This step is mandatory! Without it, the trading platform cannot recognize the bot and chat selection will fail. This tells the bot: “I am ready to receive messages”.

Connect the Bot to KTX

1. Go back to the chat with @BotFather, find the bot creation message. Locate the blue string under “Use this token to access the HTTP API” and click it to copy.

2. Return to the KTX trading platform and open Alert Clock.

3. Open Settings and select Telegram.

4. Paste the copied Token into the input box, then click Get recipient list. The platform will query Telegram for available chats. If your activation message was sent successfully, your private chat and group list will load.

5. Select where you want alerts delivered (private chat or group), and click Save. After saving, the bot will send you a confirmation message.

   

6. Create a new alert. Under Alert Channel, you can now check Telegram.

7. When alert conditions trigger, you will receive notifications on Telegram.
