Telegram commands in action

Below, example of Telegram message you will receive for each command.

/start

Status: running

/stop

Stopping trader ... Status: stopped

/stopbuy

status: Setting max_open_trades to 0. Run /reload_conf to reset.

Prevents the bot from opening new trades by temporarily setting "max_open_trades" to 0. Open trades will be handled via their regular rules (ROI / Sell-signal, stoploss, ...).

After this, give the bot time to close off open trades (can be checked via /status table). Once all positions are sold, run /stop to completely stop the bot.

/reload_conf resets "max_open_trades" to the value set in the configuration and resets this command.

!!! warning The stop-buy signal is ONLY active while the bot is running, and is not persisted anyway, so restarting the bot will cause this to reset.

/status

For each open trade, the bot will send you the following message.
