In the fast-evolving world of cryptocurrency trading, automation is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity. Manual trading often leads to missed opportunities, delayed executions, and emotional decision-making. By integrating a Telegram signal bot, traders can instantly capture and act on market signals, minimizing delays and maximizing efficiency.
Platforms like Growlonix empower both beginners and experienced traders to automate trades based on real-time signals from Telegram channels and groups. This guide walks you through setting up your own Telegram signal bot using a structured, step-by-step approach—ensuring you stay aligned with market movements without constant monitoring.
Whether you're managing multiple strategies or scaling your portfolio, automation streamlines your workflow and enhances precision.
👉 Discover how to turn signals into instant trades with powerful automation tools.
Core Steps to Set Up Your Telegram Signal Bot
Automating your trading via Telegram signals involves three key phases:
- Create Triggers – Define how signals are interpreted and executed.
- Add the Signal Bot – Connect the bot to your Telegram channel or group.
- Verify Trade Execution – Test and monitor trades to confirm everything works seamlessly.
Let’s dive into each step in detail.
Step 1: Configure the Signal Bot by Creating a Trigger
1.1 Navigate to the Signals Page
Begin by accessing the Signals section in your trading platform, typically found in the left-hand navigation menu. Here, you’ll see a “Create Trigger” interface with a configuration form on the left and helpful guidance on the right.
This is where your automation journey begins—configuring how your bot interprets incoming signals.
1.2 Select Your Exchange
Ensure your preferred exchange (e.g., Binance, Bybit) is selected from the top dropdown. If you're testing, choose an unconfigured exchange option to experiment without connecting API keys.
👉 Connect your exchange securely and start testing strategies risk-free.
1.3 Choose the Telegram Tab
At the top of the trigger setup, select the Telegram tab among options like Webhook or Email. This activates Telegram-specific configurations for signal parsing.
1.4 Find Your Channel ID
To link your Telegram channel, you need its unique Channel ID. Forward any message from your channel to the platform’s ID bot (e.g., @growlonix_id_bot), and it will reply with the correct ID. Copy this into the designated field.
Note: If you’re not the channel owner, forward messages to a group you control and use that group’s ID instead.
1.5 Select a Trading Strategy
Choose a strategy such as Market Buy, DCA Long, or Stop Buy + OCO Sell. The selected strategy determines how trades are placed when a signal arrives.
1.6 Define the Market
Specify the trading pair format—such as BTC or USDT—and ensure signals include both base and quote coins (e.g., #XRPUSDT or XRP/USDT). Each market requires a separate trigger.
1.7 Set Leverage (For Futures)
If trading futures, set your desired leverage using the dropdown. This applies uniformly across all coin pairs in the signal.
1.8 Set Trade Amount
Decide whether to use a fixed amount or a percentage of balance per trade. For multi-entry strategies, this amount is distributed across entry points based on weight settings.
1.9 Enable Demo Mode (Optional)
Test your setup without risking real funds by enabling demo mode. This simulates trades using live data but doesn’t execute actual orders—ideal for refining strategies.
1.10 Explore Advanced Settings
Click Add Settings to access powerful customization options including entry prices, take profit levels, stop loss rules, trailing orders, and filters.
1.11 Create the Trigger
Once all fields are configured, click Create to finalize your trigger. Your bot is now ready to receive and process signals.
Step 2: Add the Signal Bot to Your Telegram Channel
For the system to read messages, add the official signal bot (e.g., @growlonix_signal) to your Telegram channel or group.
Here’s how to handle different scenarios:
2.1 Public Channel/Group (You’re Admin)
Simply add the bot to your group. No admin privileges required—this reduces risk while allowing message access.
2.2 Public Channel/Group (Not Admin)
Contact support with the channel link, and they’ll assist in adding the bot. Alternatively, forward messages to a personal channel where you have control.
2.3 Private Channel/Group (You’re Admin)
Same as public groups—just invite the bot directly.
2.4 Private Channel/Group (Not Admin)
Forward messages using auto-forwarding bots like:
- @ChannelForwardBot
- @MessageForwarderBot
- @feedforwardbot
- TG Feed, Junction Bot, or Group to Channel Bot
Then connect the new channel containing forwarded messages.
Step 3: Verify Your Setup
3.1 Check Active Triggers
Go to the Triggers tab and select “Active” to view all running bots. You can manage, edit, or cancel triggers here.
3.2 Review Signal Logs
Visit the Signal Logs page to analyze detected signals, parsed parameters (coin, price targets), errors, and execution status.
3.3 Monitor Open Orders
After sending a test signal, check the Open Orders and Order History tabs to confirm trade creation.
3.4 Cancel a Trigger (If Needed)
Return to the Triggers table and click Cancel to deactivate any bot.
3.5 Send a Test Signal
Use a supported format (e.g., #BTCUSDT long entry 20000 tp 22000 sl 18000) and verify execution via logs and order history.
If no trade appears:
- Check whitelist/blacklist filters
- Confirm position limits
- Ensure API connection (for live mode)
Advanced Settings: Optimize Your Strategy
Enhance precision with advanced configurations:
Entry Price
Set fixed or percentage-based entry points. Supports conditions: Less Than, Greater Than, or Range.
Take Profit & Stop Loss
Override signal values with custom targets. Ideal for consistent risk management.
Trailing Buy/Sell Offset
Automatically trail price movements with defined offsets (e.g., 1.5%).
Position Action (Hedge Mode)
Specify whether an order opens or closes a position in futures hedge mode.
Risk Percentage per Trade
Calculate position size based on account balance and stop loss distance.
Entry & Profit Targets Weight
Distribute trade quantity across multiple entries/profit levels (e.g., 60%, 30%, 10%).
Limit Controls
- Signal Count: Cap total trades (1–10,000)
- Positions per Market: Prevent duplicates (e.g., max 1 long per coin)
- Positions per Provider: Limit concurrent trades across all pairs
Filters for Accuracy
- RSI Filter: Ignore signals if RSI >70 (overbought) or <30 (oversold)
- TradingView Rating: Only accept “Strong Buy” signals in specified timeframes
- Whitelist/Blacklist Keywords: Filter by required or forbidden terms (e.g., "long", "short")
Break Even Stop Loss
Move stop loss closer to entry after profit targets are hit:
- Move SL to Entry
- Move SL 1 Step Behind
- Move SL 2 Steps Behind
Add offset with Break Even Distance for fine-tuning.
Practical Trade Setup Examples
Market Buy + OCO Sell
Execute market buys instantly; use signal-defined take profits with a fixed stop loss via OCO sell.
DCA Long & DCA Short
Create two triggers:
- One with DCA Long + “long” whitelist
- Another with DCA Short + “short” whitelist
Separate strategies prevent overlap.
Pyramiding Strategy
Increase position size as price moves favorably:
- Use DCA Long with GTE condition
- Set entry prices at +0.001%, +2%, +5%
- Assign weights: 20%, 30%, 50%
Ideal for trend-following traders.
Multiple Signal Providers
Create individual triggers for each provider using their unique Channel IDs.
Multiple Strategies from One Provider
Use keyword filters to split signals—e.g., “scalp” vs “swing”—into different automated workflows.
