Autoposting signals from your own bot
Autoposting is when signals are published in your channel not by a person but by your own trading bot or script. For Sync such a post is no different from one written by hand: the author of a post in a channel is the channel itself. Nothing has to be switched on separately — it is enough that the bot's posts follow the signal format.
How it works
- Your bot publishes an ordinary text post in the signal format in the channel.
- The main Sync bot, an administrator of the channel, reads the post, puts the signal under tracking, attaches the buttons and opens trades for subscribers with auto-trade on.
- When your bot exits the trade, it sends a command to the channel as a reply to the signal post — and subscribers' trades are closed or changed together with yours.
Requirements for the channel
| Requirement | Explanation |
|---|---|
| A channel, not a group or a chat | Public or private — it does not matter |
| The channel is connected by the person who will be the owner | They pressed /start in @sync_trading_bot and were the first to add the main bot as an administrator. The posting bot cannot be the owner: the cabinet and the private messages about errors go to a person |
| The main Sync bot is an admin | The Post messages permission (required) and Edit messages (for the buttons) |
| The Sync service bot is an admin | No extra permissions |
/activate in the channel | The reply “🚀 SYNC channel activated!” |
| Your posting bot is an admin with the Post messages permission | Otherwise Telegram will not let it publish. No other permissions are needed. The order in which the bots are added does not matter |
Sync does not limit the publishing frequency; Telegram has its own limit on the number of messages from bots into one chat — check it on a test if you have many signals.
Requirements for the post
The same as for a signal written by hand (Signal format: full specification). For autoposting these points matter most:
- A text post, not a photo with a caption — a caption is not read and the post is skipped silently.
- One post — one signal, and the post is not edited afterwards — corrections are not re-read.
- One price per line, without numbering or with a separator after the number (
TP1: 87000, notTP1 87000). - Leverage always for futures, and for spot no leverage line at all (not even
1x). - The stop as a price, not as a fractional percentage — this matters for tight stops.
- Nothing after the last block: a line with a number below the stop becomes a second stop.
The minimal template that is always parsed:
#BTCUSDT
Leverage: 10x
Entry: 85000
TP: 85400
85800
SL: 84600Commands from your bot
Commands are published as a reply to the signal post, with the text exactly as in the article about commands, without the bot name and without any text after the number.
/close— always, when your bot's position is fully closed: by time, manually, by trailing, by its own take-profit or stop. Without it the signal stays active until a take-profit or the stop, and subscribers' positions keep hanging. Leave at least a few seconds between the signal post and/closeand check the reply: you need “⛔ Signal closed by the channel admin…”./change_sl_to_…— trailing and moving to breakeven. A stop exactly at the entry price ends up in “skipped”: set it one tick lower (LONG) or higher (SHORT)./change_tp1_to_…,/change_entry1_to_…— moving targets and entries.- A repeat on the same pair in the same direction while a signal is active will not open a second trade for a subscriber — close the previous one with
/closebefore a new signal on the same pair.
Reports and service posts from the bot
You may publish results (“TP1 taken”, daily reports), with three rules:
- The post does not start with
/— otherwise it is a command. - The post has no line consisting only of
#TICKERtogether with lines starting with keywords (TP:,Entry:,Stop:) — otherwise the bot will try to parse it as a signal and the owner will get “was not accepted as a signal”. A safe form is one line without a hash:BTCUSDT: TP1 reached ✅ +0.5%. - The words
close,cancel,exitas a separate reply to a signal post are a closing command. In your reports, never send such words as a reply to a signal post.
How to check
- Publish a test signal from the bot using the template — the buttons should appear under the post within a few seconds.
- Reply to it with
/closefrom the bot — “⛔ Signal closed by the channel admin…” should arrive. - Try an entry zone,
/change_sl_to_…, and for futures a short. - Do all of this while subscribers have auto-trade off: test signals open real trades. Details in Checking after connection.
What signals do not copy: lot ladders and averaging with a grid on one pair — those are the subscriber's Grid and DCA bots, not a signal.
