Restrictions and limits
One table with all the restrictions that concern a channel admin: what the bot accepts in a signal, how long a signal lives and what a channel cannot do. Details are behind the links in the rows.
Restrictions and allowed values
| Parameter | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Exchange for signals | Bybit: spot and USDT perpetual futures | The pair must be traded on the market the leverage sends it to |
| Leverage in a signal | A whole number from 1 to 999 | No leverage line means a spot signal; 1x already means futures (Leverage) |
| Stops in a signal | Exactly one | Required; without it the signal is not recognized |
| Stop as a percentage | A whole number, from the average entry price | A fractional percentage is not accepted — write a price (Stop-loss) |
| Entries and targets | Practically unlimited | Each level on its own line; the shares are set by the subscriber |
| Signals in one post | One | Several signals in one message are not parsed |
| Hashtags in a post | One — the pair | Any other hashtag breaks parsing |
| Direction in the text | Not written | Determined from the prices; long / short are cut out |
| Lifetime of an active signal | 30 days | Then the status becomes ⌛ Expired, with no notification in the channel |
| Reaction to a price move | About 5 seconds; a safety check once a minute | Notifications go to the channel as a reply to the post |
| Editing a post | Not taken into account | Only commands as a reply to the post, or a new post |
| Posts without text (a photo with a caption, stickers, polls) | Skipped silently | A signal is a text post only |
| Language of the bot's messages in the channel | Russian | — |
| Who sees the cabinet | Only the channel owner | Whoever first added the main bot |
| Publishing frequency | Sync does not limit it | Telegram has its own limit on the number of messages from bots into one chat — relevant for autoposting |
What is not supported
- A signal without a stop or with several stops.
- A stop as a fractional percentage (
0.5%). - An entry written as “at market” /
market— a price only. - A short on spot: without leverage only LONG is available.
- Several prices on one line (
87000 / 88500) and hyphen ranges (85000-84200). - Shares of entries and targets in the signal text — they are set by the subscriber.
- Several simultaneous trades on the same pair in the same direction (lot ladders, averaging with a grid) — those are the subscriber's Grid and DCA bots, signals do not copy this.
- Editing a published post.
- A signal in the caption of a photo or a video.
- Exchanges other than Bybit.
- A test mode for the channel: test signals open real trades for subscribers with auto-trade on.
- Switching off stop notifications.
What is limited on the subscriber's side
These limits are not yours, but people ask about them:
- A repeat on the same pair in the same direction while a trade is active — a second trade is not opened.
- The limit of simultaneous trades, the coin blacklist, allowed directions, the policy for “no SL in the signal” — the subscriber's settings; details in Signal limits.
- The number of a subscriber's bots and their subscription period — their plan; channel signals do not affect this.
