Telegram is a free messaging app available on iOS, Android, and desktop. When you connect StratAlerts to Telegram, alerts arrive as messages in a private bot conversation — giving you a persistent, scrollable alert log alongside a direct link back into the setup workflow in the app. Unlike email, Telegram notifications are instant and can be pinned to the top of your conversations for quick access during the trading session.

​
What you need

  • The Telegram app installed on your device (telegram.org)
  • A Telegram account
  • An active StratAlerts subscription

​
Setup

1

Install Telegram and create an account

Download Telegram from the App Store or Google Play (or use the desktop or web client). Sign up with your phone number and complete verification.
2

Start a conversation with the StratAlerts bot

Search for @StratAlertsBot in Telegram or open the link provided in StratAlerts under Alerts → Settings → Telegram. Tap Start to open the conversation. The bot will respond with your unique chat ID.
3

Copy your chat ID or token and enter it in StratAlerts

The bot’s welcome message includes your Chat ID. Copy it, then paste it into the Telegram Chat ID field in StratAlerts under Alerts → Settings → Telegram. Save the settings — StratAlerts will send a test message to confirm.
If the test message doesn’t arrive, make sure you tapped Start in the bot conversation. Telegram bots cannot send messages to users who haven’t initiated the conversation first.

​
What alerts you receive

Once connected, the StratAlerts bot delivers two types of alerts:

In-force alerts

Sent when a setup goes in-force — price has cleared the trigger level and the trade is active. Includes symbol, timeframe, setup, and direction with a deep link back into the app.

Simultaneous break alerts

Sent when multiple instruments break together within a short window, flagging potential broad market participation.

​
Alert message format

Each Telegram alert includes full setup context and a tap-to-open link back into StratAlerts:
example alert
📈 SPY — Daily — 2U — Up
In-force at 561.40

View setup → https://app.stratalerts.com/...
The deep link opens directly to the setup detail in the app, so you can review TFC context, target levels, and candle state without navigating manually.
The deep link in each alert takes you straight to the relevant setup. Tapping it from your phone opens the StratAlerts mobile view at the correct symbol and timeframe.

​
Tips

Long-press the StratAlerts bot conversation in your Telegram chat list and select Pin. This keeps the alert feed at the top of your screen, one tap away during the session.
If you’ve muted Telegram globally or use focus modes, make sure the StratAlerts bot conversation has notifications enabled. Open the conversation, tap the bot name at the top, and verify Notifications is set to On.
The Telegram desktop app (Mac, Windows, Linux) or web client lets you track the alert feed alongside your charting platform without picking up your phone. All alerts sync across devices in real time.
You can connect both Pushover and Telegram simultaneously. Some traders prefer Pushover for high-priority lock-screen alerts and Telegram for the searchable message history and deep links.

Pushover notifications

Set up Pushover for high-priority lock-screen alerts with configurable sound profiles.

Alerts settings
