Get signals on your phone in 5 simple steps.

Step 1: Create Your Telegram Bot

Time: 2 minutes    Cost: Free

1. Open Telegram (mobile or desktop)
2. Search for @BotFather in the search bar
3. Click Start to begin a chat
4. Send the command: /newbot
5. BotFather asks for a name → type any name (e.g. "My Gold Scalpers Bot")
6. BotFather asks for a username → must end in bot (e.g. mygoldsniper_bot)
7. Copy the token BotFather gives you. Looks like:

   7891234567:AAH1234abcDEFxyz...

Step 2: Get Your Chat ID

Time: 1 minute

1. In Telegram, search for @userinfobot
2. Click Start
3. It immediately replies with your info, including:

   Id: 123456789

4. Copy the number – that's your Chat ID

Step 3: Activate Your Bot

Time: 30 seconds – but critical step

1. Search for your new bot in Telegram (the one you created in Step 1)
2. Click Start or send any message like hi

Step 4: Configure Gold Scalpers

Time: 1 minute

1. Open your TradingView chart (XAUUSD, USDJPY, or GBPJPY)
2. Click the gear icon next to "Gold Scalpers" in the indicators list
3. Find the Telegram group at the bottom of settings
4. Paste your Chat ID into the Telegram Chat ID field
5. In the Alerts group, set Alert Format = Telegram
6. Click OK to save

Step 5: Create the TradingView Alert

Time: 90 seconds

1. Click the ⏰ alarm icon in the top toolbar → Create Alert
2. Condition (1st dropdown) → select Gold Scalpers
3. Condition (2nd dropdown) → ⭐ select "Any alert() function call" ⭐

   This is the most important step. Do NOT pick "Gold Scalpers BUY" – that's the static message.

4. Go to Notifications tab → check Webhook URL → paste:

   https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_BOT_TOKEN>/sendMessage

   Replace <YOUR_BOT_TOKEN> with the token from Step 1. Keep bot directly before the token, no space.
5. Trigger: Once Per Bar Close
6. Expiration: Open-ended (Premium plan) or pick a date 2 months out
7. Click Create

Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
Alert fires, no Telegram message	Did you send "hi" to your bot in Step 3?
Bad Request: chat not found	Wrong Chat ID – re-verify with @userinfobot
Unauthorized	Wrong token, or you forgot the word bot in URL
Webhook URL field greyed out	You're on free TradingView. Need Pro+.
Message shows raw <b> tags	Alert Format isn't set to "Telegram"
Alert never fires	You picked "Gold Scalpers BUY" instead of "Any alert() function call"

Send to a Group Instead of DM

1. Add your bot to the group → make it admin
2. Visit https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/getUpdates in your browser
3. Find "chat":{"id":-1001234567890,...} – the negative number is the group ID
4. Use that as your Chat ID in the indicator settings
