Setting up Telegram alerts

Updated September 6, 2026

Telegram is how Propfy reaches you when you are not looking at the app. Connecting takes one click and no chat ID.

Connect

1. Open Settings, then Notifications. 2. Press Connect Telegram. Propfy opens a link that starts a chat with the bot. 3. Send the message Telegram has already filled in for you. That is the whole pairing step.

The link carries a one-time token that is valid for ten minutes and is never stored in readable form. If you leave it too long, press Connect Telegram again and a fresh one is issued.

Once paired, the card reads "Telegram notifications are active". The switch beside it pauses and resumes delivery without unpairing, and the save is confirmed against the database rather than assumed, so if it fails the switch goes back where you found it and tells you.

What arrives

  • A post-trade summary after a trade lands: what you took, where the day stands in decisions and net P&L, and which of your own rules are near or past their limit. Copy-traded mirrors count as one decision, so six accounts still means one message. This has its own switch under Post-trade summaries and needs Telegram connected first.
  • A drawdown warning naming the account, the percentage of its daily loss limit used, and the dollars used against the limit.
  • A rule break notice after the end-of-session review, listing which rules were broken and your adherence figure.
  • Coach messages: the review the coach writes after the session, with the headline and the next step.
  • A weekly recap: trades, win rate, net P&L, best instrument and your current streak.

Every one of them carries a link straight to the page in Propfy that shows the detail.

Nothing arrives while you are disconnected

Delivery requires both a paired chat and the switch on. With either missing, Propfy sends nothing rather than queuing it, so turning the switch back on does not produce a backlog.

Press Disconnect on the same card. Pairing is removed and messages stop. You can reconnect later and it is the same one-click flow.

WhatsApp

The Notifications tab shows a WhatsApp card marked "Coming soon". It is not live and there is nothing to connect. Telegram is the channel that works today.

Risk Disclosure

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect trading results.
