Checking after connection

After “🚀 SYNC channel activated!” it is worth spending a couple of minutes to make sure the bot sees your posts, parses signals and can write in the channel. The check is one test signal.

How it works

1. Open the bot's main menu — the 📢 Channel administration button should appear. Inside it is your channel with the status “🟢 active”.

2. Publish a test signal on a liquid pair (for example BTCUSDT) in the format from Signal format: full specification. The minimal template:

   #BTCUSDT
   Leverage: 10x
   Entry: 85000
   TP: 85400
   85800
   SL: 84600

3. Within a few seconds the buttons appear under the post: 👁 View signal / 📈 Open signal / ⚡ Enable auto-trading. Buttons present — the signal was recognized and is being tracked. No buttons — check the private messages from the bot: the reason is there.

4. In the cabinet (📈 Open signals) a signal card with the levels appears.

5. When you no longer need the test, close it: reply to the post with /close. The bot answers “⛔ Signal closed by the channel admin…” — which at the same time proves that commands sent as a reply to a post work.

Careful: a test opens real trades

For subscribers with auto-trade on, a test signal opens real trades. A channel has no separate test mode. Test before your audience turns auto-trading on, or warn them in advance.

Common mistakes and what the bot says

Symptom	Reason	Solution
No buttons under the post and nothing in private messages	The post has no text (a photo with a caption) or the channel is not activated	Send the signal as text; check /activate
No buttons under the post, but subscribers trade and the card is in the cabinet	The main bot has no Edit messages permission	Enable the permission in the channel administrator settings
The bot posts no prompts or notifications in the channel	No Post messages permission	Enable the permission
“⚠️ Post … in channel '…' was not accepted as a signal — no trades were opened. Reason: …”	The format was not parsed	Compare with the format and publish the signal again
“⚠️ Channel '…': signal … was recognized as SPOT because no leverage is specified in its text. No trades were opened: none of the channel subscribers has a spot bot with auto-trading enabled.”	Leverage was forgotten while subscribers trade futures	Add the Leverage: 10x line and publish again
No 📢 Channel administration button in the menu	You are not the channel owner	The owner is whoever first added the main bot; changing it goes through support
“There is no active signal or subscriber trades for this post. Commands only apply to active signals.” in reply to /close	The reply was not to a signal post, or the signal is already finished	Reply to the original post of an active signal

If there are no buttons under the post and nothing in private messages, while the permissions and /activate are in place — see The bot is silent after connecting a channel.
