If you receive signals on Telegram, a tool like Cornix can act on them for you — placing the entry, take-profit ladder and stop-loss automatically on your connected exchange. Here's how the setup works and what to watch for.
What Cornix does
Cornix is a trading bot that reads structured signals from a Telegram channel and executes them on your exchange via API. Instead of manually entering each level, the bot places:
- the entry (market or limit),
- the take-profit ladder (scaling out across targets), and
- the stop-loss,
exactly as the signal specifies.
The rough setup
- Connect your exchange to Cornix using API keys. Create keys with trade permissions only — never enable withdrawals.
- Link the signal channel so the bot can read incoming calls.
- Configure your risk — position size, how to split across targets, and how to handle the stop. This is where you stay in control.
- Test small first — run minimal size until you trust the behaviour.
See set up Telegram for signals for the messaging side.
What automation does — and doesn't — do
Automation removes the delay and emotion of manual entry. It does not remove risk. The bot will faithfully execute a losing trade just as it does a winning one. Your edge still comes from sound signals and disciplined position sizing.
Safety notes
- API keys: trading only, no withdrawal access, ever.
- Start with small size while you verify settings.
- Keep an eye on it — automation is a convenience, not a reason to stop paying attention.
Automation executes your plan flawlessly — which is great if the plan and the risk are sound, and dangerous if they aren't.
Education only — not financial advice.
