Reading the Telegram signals
What arrives in your Telegram signal group, how each signal is generated, and how to use one properly before you act on it.
All steps
Every subscription comes with a private Telegram signal group for each market in your plan. This page explains what lands in that group, how the signals are made, and the right way to use them.
The two types of signal
Two kinds of signal reach you on Telegram, and they live in two different places.
Navigator signals
Alerts for a set list of popular instruments — around 10 per market — fired the moment the indicator prints a label.
Where to find them
Your market's signal group — each instrument has its own topic
Robin's live calls
Robin scans a long list of instruments across different timeframes with the Navigator and handpicks the best opportunities he finds. They land in two topics, split by how long the trade is meant to run.
Where to find them
The main subscriber group, under two topics:
- Short Term Live Calls intraday trades, held 2 days at most
- Long Term Live Calls trades likely to run for more than 2 days
How the Navigator signals are generated
-
Every Navigator signal comes from the 1-hour timeframe, using Pepperstone chart data. To see a signal line up on your own chart, switch your chart to 1h. (Signals moved from the 15-minute chart to the 1-hour chart in August 2026.)
A chart set up to match the signals — Pepperstone data with the signal timeframe selected. This screenshot shows the old 15m setting; pick 1h on yours. -
Every label fires a signal except two: the middle support/resistance dots and the grey NC (new channel) label. Support and resistance hits, buy and sell signals, breakouts — they all reach the group.
That Pepperstone detail matters more than it sounds. A different broker’s price feed produces slightly different bars, which means different channels — and the signals won’t match what you see. This is why we ask subscribers to chart on Pepperstone data.
The three groups of signal
Every message the bot sends belongs to one of three groups, and the group tells you what the message is asking of you: a look, a trade, or caution.
Line hits
R ER ER2 S ES ES2What it means
Price has just touched one of the channel's lines. The message names the line, the trend direction and the price — whether it's the main line or an extended one, the nature is the same.
What to do
Open the chart and watch. A hit is a heads-up that price has reached a level worth trading off, not an instruction to trade.
Buy & sell signals
B EB DTB S ES UTBWhat it means
An entry cue. A channel or extended channel message spells out the whole trade — the entry price, both take-profit levels (TP1 and TP2) and the stop loss (SL). The bracket at the end of the heading is the channel's trend direction: (UPTREND), (DOWNTREND) or (SIDEWAYS). A breakout message gives the entry price and the stop loss only, and its name already tells you the direction.
What to do
Check the channel before you enter: where price sits, and whether the trade goes with the trend or against it. The bracket tells you at a glance — a buy signal marked (DOWNTREND) is a trade against the trend, so weigh it more carefully.
Channel buy signal
Fires once the rebound off the channel's support line is confirmed. The targets are the next lines up:
- TP1 — the middle line
- TP2 — the resistance line
This one is marked (DOWNTREND): the channel slopes down, so the buy goes against the trend.
Extended channel buy signal
Fires once the rebound off the extended support below the channel is confirmed — so the targets sit one line lower:
- TP1 — the support line
- TP2 — the middle line
Marked (UPTREND), so this buy goes with the trend.
Downtrend breakout (buy signal)
Price has pushed up and out of a falling channel — the downtrend may be ending. This is the DTB label on the chart. The message gives the entry price and the stop loss only: there are no take-profit levels, because once price leaves the channel there are no lines above to aim at.
The sell signals mirror all three on the way down — the channel and extended channel sell signals, and the uptrend breakdown (UTB), which fires when price drops out of a rising channel. And every one of these is the automatic version of what you'd work out by hand in the core skills — that's exactly why those skills matter: read the channel yourself and you can often get in earlier, at a better price, than the signal does.
Trend alerts
UTA DTAWhat it means
The trend has just picked up speed — price is accelerating upwards (UTA) or downwards (DTA).
What to do
Nothing to enter — it's context, not a setup. Treat it as a caution: while the move is running, this isn't the moment to take a trade against it.
Use them properly
The core skills always come first. When it comes to entries, read the channel yourself — a signal or label is a prompt to look, never the entry itself.
And mute the instrument topics you don’t trade — around 10 instruments per market adds up to a lot of notifications. Press and hold a topic to mute it.
Looking back at older signals
Signals belong to the channel that was live when they fired. To review the signals from a previous channel, use TradingView’s Bar Replay to step back to the bar just before the NC (new channel) marker — the chart redraws the old channel and its labels. The steps are in Understand the features.
