Admin checklist

Everything important from this section as a list you can go through in a minute. Details are behind the links.

Before connecting

[ ] I connect the channel from the account that will manage it — it becomes the owner, and afterwards ownership can only be transferred through support (Three bots and the channel owner).
[ ] /start was pressed in @sync_trading_bot.
[ ] Spot or futures is decided: the audience knows which exchange bot to create.
[ ] Exchange API keys are not needed for the channel — subscribers connect their own.

[ ] The main bot is an administrator with the Post messages and Edit messages permissions.
[ ] The service bot from the prompt is an administrator without extra permissions.
[ ] /activate in the channel → “🚀 SYNC channel activated!”.
[ ] The 📢 Channel administration button appeared in the main menu, with the channel in the status “🟢 active” (Connecting a channel in three steps).
[ ] A test signal on a liquid pair: the buttons appeared under the post; the test was closed with /close (Checking after connection).
[ ] The test was done while subscribers have auto-trade off — otherwise real trades open.

[ ] A text post, not a photo caption; one signal per post.
[ ] The only hashtag is the pair, a full ticker with the quote currency (#BTCUSDT), and the pair exists on Bybit.
[ ] Leverage is specified (futures) or there is no leverage line at all (spot).
[ ] Every entry and every target on its own line; numbering only with a separator after the number (TP1: 87000, not TP1 87000).
[ ] Decimals with a dot (a comma is read too); no thousands separator like 85,000.
[ ] Exactly one stop — as a price or as a whole percentage.
[ ] No lines with numbers inside the blocks (TF: 5m, RR 1:2) and no lines starting with Levels, Slippage, Buy, Sell.
[ ] After a few seconds the buttons appeared under the post (Signal format).

[ ] Level corrections go through commands as a reply to the post (/change_sl_to_…, /change_tp1_to_…, /change_entry1_to_…) or from the cabinet, not by editing the post.
[ ] Closing goes through /close as a reply to the post or ⛔ Close signal in the cabinet; I remember that subscribers' positions will be closed at market.
[ ] The idea ended before the targets (I exited manually or by time) — the signal was closed with /close, otherwise subscribers' positions hang until a take-profit or the stop.
[ ] Moving to breakeven — the stop slightly below the entry for LONG (slightly above for SHORT), not exactly at the entry (Commands in the channel).
[ ] A new signal on the same pair in the same direction — the previous one is closed.

[ ] Once a week — a look at 📈 Statistics and 📥 Export history (CSV) (Channel statistics).
[ ] Unclosed signals in 📈 Open signals are closed — otherwise in 30 days they go to ⌛ Expired with no notification.
[ ] The private messages from the bot are read: “was not accepted as a signal” and “no trades were opened” come to the owner only.
[ ] The bots' permissions are in place: if someone removed a bot from the administrators, processing stopped — put the bot back and send /activate.

Symptom	Where to look
No buttons under the post and nothing in private messages	The post has no text, or the channel is not activated
No buttons, but subscribers are trading	No Edit messages permission
The bot does not post in the channel	No Post messages permission
“signal … was recognized as SPOT…”	Leverage was forgotten
Take-profit 187000 instead of 87000	A number without a separator stuck to the price
Only one target out of three was taken	The targets were on one line separated by `/`
“There is no active signal or subscriber trades for this post…”	The reply was not to a signal post, or the signal is finished
No 📢 Channel administration button	You are not the owner — changing it goes through support
“No service bot is available right now”	Write to support
