How it works

Architecture

Discovery (tgstat.com)
    ↓ @usernames
Telegram Crawler (t.me/s/username)
    ↓ raw messages
Parser — Level 1 (Regex Engine)
    ↓ fallback
Parser — Level 2 (Positional Heuristics)
    ↓ structured signal
Dataset + Webhook

Signal parser — 2 levels

Level 1 — Regex Engine (~70% of signals) Handles all known label formats: Entry/TP/SL, Target/Stop, Invalidation, Buy at, inline pipe format, numbered TPs, entry zones, European decimal prices, $-prefixed prices.

Level 2 — Positional Heuristics (~20% of signals) When no labels are found, infers signal structure from the position of numbers in the text. First price = entry, prices above/below = TPs, outlier = SL.

Zero account required

This Actor scrapes the public web view of Telegram (t.me/s/username) — no Telegram account, no API key, no risk of ban.

Confidence score

Each signal includes a confidence score (0–100):

Score	Meaning
80–100	All fields present (pair, action, entry, TP, SL, R:R)
60–79	Most fields present
40–59	Parsed via heuristic — use with caution
< 40	Low confidence — likely incomplete signal

Spam filter

The parser automatically rejects:

• NFT drops, airdrops, mint announcements
• Wallet/AML tool promotions
• Broker advertisements
• Subscription pitches
• Non-trading content

Performance

• Average run time: ~8 minutes for 58 channels
• Signal conversion rate: ~62%
• Deduplication: built-in (same signal from same channel skipped)
• Timeout handling: failed channels are skipped, crawl continues

Recommended keywords for discovery

[
  "crypto trading signals",
  "forex signals",
  "BTC signals",
  "XAU gold signals",
  "indices trading signals",
  "forex TP SL daily signals"
]
