Connections: Telegram & Discord

Where connections live

Open Settings → Connections. The Connections dashboard lists your active integrations, shows which notifications each one has enabled, and lets you add new ones.

You can link the journal to two services: Telegram (personal account, private groups, or public channels) and Discord (private or public servers). These are the only two connection types today.

Step 1 — Choose your service

Start a new connection and pick Telegram or Discord. The rest of the setup is the same shape for both; only the final linking step differs.

Step 2 — Name it and pick alert types

Give the connection a recognizable name (for example "Main Personal Telegram" or "Trading Group Discord"). Then choose which alerts it sends:

• •New Trade — an instant alert when a position opens.
• •Trade Results — a profit/loss summary when a trade closes.
• •Order Execution — a log of every buy/sell order.
• •Risk Rule Violation — a real-time alert when a Risk Management limit is hit.

Step 3 — Scope the data

Fine-tune what this connection sees and sends:

• •API Keys — choose which accounts trigger notifications for this connection.
• •Language — set the language of the messages.
• •Private Mode — hide specific numeric values (like exact $ profit), which is useful for public channels or sharing.

Finalize a Telegram connection

After you click Create, the app gives you the exact linking steps. For a personal chat: click Make connection, get redirected to Telegram, and press Start to link your account.

For a group or channel: add @TraderMakeMoneyBot as an administrator, copy the unique /start command from the instructions, and send it in the group.

Gotcha: you must send that message as your personal account. If Telegram's "Anonymous Admin" or "Post as Channel" mode is on, the connection fails.

Finalize a Discord connection

For Discord you must be the server creator. Click Make connection, authorize the bot to join your server, copy the unique /tmm-start command, and paste it into the channel where you want notifications.

The bot replies with a hidden confirmation only you can see — other members do not see that you ran the command or that the connection exists.

Custom notification templates

For each notification type you can toggle a trade image preview (a chart screenshot with entry/exit points) and switch from the default layout to a fully custom template.

The template engine uses tokens that are replaced with real trade data. You can reorder the information, add emoji, and pull in fields like {{apikey}}, {{side}}, {{ticker}}, {{symbol}}, {{profit}}, {{percent}}, {{fee}}, {{leverage}}, and more.
