Decision prompts
Entry and exit alerts keep simulated agent decisions visible so you can review the thesis, context, and rule fit.
Use case
Telegram paper-trading alerts
Send simulated decision alerts, daily summaries, and review prompts to Telegram so paper-trading work stays visible without turning notifications into trading signals.
Alerts should create review, not urgency
The value of Telegram alerts is visibility. A paper-trading alert should tell you what the simulated agent recorded and what needs review. It should not pressure you into a live action. That boundary is important for SEO, product trust, and the actual workflow: alerts are evidence to inspect, not instructions to follow.
Daily summaries
Use summaries to spot frequency, drift, correlated exposure, and repeated behavior patterns before changing the paper-trading setup.
Review commands
Telegram commands help pull context, stats, and review prompts when you are away from the terminal.
Alert types and how to read them
| Alert type | Purpose | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Entry alert | Marks a simulated paper entry and the rule context. | A review prompt, not an instruction to buy. |
| Exit alert | Captures simulated exit context and result. | A journal event, not a recommendation. |
| Daily summary | Groups paper decisions, behavior, and performance context. | A process review input. |
| Risk prompt | Highlights sizing, drawdown, or frequency conditions that need attention. | A reason to inspect the workflow before changing rules. |
| Context command | Pulls market and token context into the review loop. | Background information for your own rules. |
Example alert review
Alert: A simulated entry was recorded for a token already correlated with another open paper position.
Review: Check whether the agent was allowed to add correlated exposure or whether the rules require waiting for the first position to exit.
Output: Tag the decision as rule-compliant, rule-violating, or ambiguous, then write the next review action.
Workflow connections
Alert hygiene
Telegram is useful because it is immediate, but immediacy can also create bad habits. Keep alert channels focused on the few events that need review: simulated entries, simulated exits, daily summaries, and risk conditions that require inspection.
If every context update becomes an alert, the workflow can become noisy enough that important paper-trading decisions are ignored.
Good alert labels
- Paper entry recorded.
- Paper exit recorded.
- Risk limit needs review.
- Daily paper summary ready.
- Context changed, no action required.
Alert routing rules
Route alerts by the work they create. Entry and exit alerts belong in the review channel. Daily summaries belong in a lower-urgency cadence. Context updates should be muted unless they change a written paper rule or explain a simulated decision already in the journal.
This keeps Telegram from becoming the trading system. The system is still the written workflow: agent rules, pre-trade notes, risk limits, post-trade review, and the feedback loop.
A good routing rule also names who is expected to react. If nobody will review an alert, the alert should probably become a daily summary item instead of an immediate notification.
For example, a simulated entry alert should send the reviewer to the checklist and journal. A daily summary should send them to behavior tags and drawdown review. A context update should usually wait unless it changes how an existing paper decision is interpreted.
When to mute alerts
- The same alert repeats without producing a review note.
- Notifications create urgency but no journal improvement.
- Context alerts are crowding out actual paper entries and exits.
- The workflow cannot explain what action an alert should trigger.
Muting is not failure. It is a way to protect the review loop from noise so the important paper-trading events still receive attention.
When alerts are re-enabled, start with one category at a time and check whether the journal actually improves.
If the journal does not improve, the alert is only activity. Keep the paper workflow small enough that every notification has a clear review purpose.
FAQ
Are Telegram paper-trading alerts trade signals?
No. Trading Boy alerts are workflow notifications and review prompts for simulated paper decisions. They are not buy or sell signals.
What should I do after receiving a paper-trading alert?
Review the thesis, risk, agent rule fit, and context. Then record the journal note or continue the paper-trading workflow without treating the alert as a live instruction.
How many Telegram paper-trading alerts should be enabled?
Enable only the alerts that create useful review work, such as simulated entries, exits, risk prompts, and daily summaries. Too many alerts can weaken the review process.
