Telegram Signals — Connect Your Own Channels

Follow a paid signal channel? Connect your own Telegram account, point Formion at the groups you’re already in, and Formion turns their messages into tracked, backtested trades — so you finally know whether a channel is actually worth your money.

From your Telegram group to tracked trades: connect → pick a group → preview parsing → backtest → live-track (demo values).

Note

This is a Pro / Institutional feature, and it’s per-user and private — you connect your Telegram, and only you see the results. Formion reads messages (read-only) and never sends anything from your account. It does not trade unless you switch on Auto-execute for a group (see below).

How it works

A free-form channel message is parsed into side, symbol, entry, stop and target, then backtested and tracked.

1. Connect your Telegram

Link your own account with the standard phone → code → 2FA login. Your session is encrypted at rest; you can unlink and revoke access any time.

2. Pick a group

Formion lists the groups, channels and chats you’re a member of. Choose the signal channel you want to evaluate.

3. Preview the parsing

Formion pulls the group’s recent history (the last 400 messages, with at most 120 parsed by AI) and shows you, side by side, the raw message → the parsed signal (side, symbol, entry, stop-loss, take-profits, confidence). The parser is regex-first for clean formats and falls back to AI for free-form messages (“buy gold on the breakout above 2040, stop 2030, targets 2060/2080”) — so free-form formats can be reviewed alongside structured messages.

4. Backtest the available history

Before you risk a cent, run the available 10-day backtest window and inspect which parsed signals have price coverage:

• Win rate, profit factor, expectancy, max drawdown, total P&L
• Equity curve of the simulated channel signals
• Breakdown by symbol and by side (long vs short)

Now you can answer the only question that matters: is this channel actually profitable?

5. Live-track new signals

Subscribe and Formion listens in real time — every new signal is parsed, de-duplicated and tracked from entry to outcome (won / lost), flowing straight into your unified Trades History with the full analytics suite (equity curve, per-symbol, per-side, session and hour breakdowns).

Manage tracking

Subscribed groups appear in your tracked list. Review recent signal statuses and unsubscribe to stop monitoring.

Auto-execute (optional): in formion.ai → Profile → Connections → Telegram Signals, each subscribed group has an Auto-execute switch that turns its signals into trades on your connected cTrader or Bybit account, with a lot size you set. It is demo only for now; live execution is gated for safety. A simulation is not the channel’s brokerage record, and tracking does not establish a live fill on your account. Compare raw messages with symbol interpretation, especially for forex and metals.

Use FORA to discuss your findings and Alerts for notification workflows.

Why it matters

Most signal channels show you wins and hide losses. Formion evaluates supported parsed calls against available price data and keeps the score — the same honest, cost-aware methodology Formion uses for its own engines. Connect a channel, see the equity curve, decide with data.
