Using Telegram Alerts to Monitor Crypto Market Making Bots

Why Monitoring Market Making Bots Matters

Effective crypto market making relies on timely, accurate order placement and continuous monitoring. Automated market making bots—like those in Atlas LP—can operate 24/7, but even the best bots need oversight. Exchange connectivity issues, stale market data, or unexpected market conditions can interrupt normal operation. Without prompt notification, these issues can go unnoticed, potentially reducing liquidity or causing missed trading opportunities.

Atlas LP addresses this challenge by offering Telegram alerts, a simple yet powerful tool to help teams stay informed about their bot’s activity and respond quickly to potential problems.

How Telegram Alerts Work in Atlas LP

Atlas LP’s Telegram alert feature is designed to notify users when a running spot market making bot has not had any fills for a user-defined number of minutes. This can signal:

• Reduced trading activity in the market
• Issues with order placement or cancellation
• Exchange API latency or downtime
• Settings that may be too conservative for current market conditions

By receiving timely alerts, teams can investigate and resolve problems before they impact liquidity provision or trading strategy.

Setting Up Telegram Alerts

To use Telegram alerts in Atlas LP:

1. Connect Your Telegram Account: Follow the instructions in the Atlas LP console to link your Telegram account or group.
2. Configure Alert Thresholds: Choose the number of minutes of inactivity (no fills) that should trigger an alert. This can be tailored per bot based on your trading frequency and risk tolerance.
3. Enable Alerts: Activate Telegram notifications for each bot you want to monitor.

Once set up, Atlas LP will monitor each running bot and send a Telegram message if it detects no fills within your chosen timeframe.

Example Use Cases

1. Monitoring Low-Liquidity Pairs

If you’re providing liquidity on a less active trading pair, fills may naturally be infrequent. However, a sudden drop in fills could indicate an issue with your bot’s configuration or with the exchange. Telegram alerts help you distinguish between normal low activity and potential problems.

2. Responding to Exchange Issues

If an exchange experiences downtime or API errors, your bot may be unable to place or cancel orders. Atlas LP’s alert system notifies you of inactivity, prompting you to check exchange status and take corrective action.

3. Adjusting Strategy in Real Time

Market conditions can change rapidly. If your bot isn’t getting fills, it may be time to adjust your spread, order size, or other parameters. Telegram alerts give you the prompt to review and optimize settings as needed.

How Atlas LP Ensures Secure and Reliable Alerts

Security and reliability are central to Atlas LP’s design:

• No Withdrawal Permissions: Atlas LP never asks for withdrawal rights on your exchange API keys, reducing risk.
• Encrypted API Keys: All API keys and secrets are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and only decrypted by the worker that needs to access the exchange.
• Validated Settings: Bots cannot start unless all settings are validated, minimizing misconfiguration risk.
• Robust Exchange Checks: Atlas LP verifies tickers, order books, balances, and open orders before and during operation.
• Transparent Console: All open orders, fills, balances, and bot events are visible in the Atlas LP console for easy review.

Best Practices for Using Telegram Alerts

• Choose Sensible Thresholds: Set alert intervals that match your expected trading frequency. Too short may cause unnecessary noise; too long may delay your response.
• Combine with Console Monitoring: Use Telegram alerts as a first line of notification, but regularly check the Atlas LP console for detailed status and logs.
• Act Promptly: When you receive an alert, review your bot’s status, check exchange connectivity, and adjust settings if needed.
• Avoid Over-Reliance: Alerts are a supplement—not a substitute—for regular monitoring and review of your market making operations.
