How to Connect Telegram Signals to Bybit with AlgoWay AI
Set up Bybit API execution first, then connect Telegram signals through AlgoWay AI for automated crypto trading.
AlgoWay AI Telegram Signals can read trading signals from Telegram channels or groups, convert them into structured trading commands, and route them to a connected trading platform such as Bybit.
For Telegram to Bybit automation, the correct setup order is important.
You do not start from Telegram first. You first prepare Bybit as the execution destination, then create the AlgoWay route, and only after that connect the Telegram signal source.
The full workflow is:
Bybit API key → AlgoWay Bybit execution route → Telegram source route → Telegram channel selection → AI signal parsing → Bybit order execution
This guide explains the complete setup without relying on screenshots.
Step 1. Create a Bybit API key for AlgoWay
Log in to your Bybit account and open the API management area.
When Bybit asks which API key type you want to create, choose System-generated API Keys.
For this AlgoWay setup, the API key must provide the normal API Key and API Secret pair. AlgoWay uses these credentials to send trading requests to your Bybit account through the Bybit API.
Create a dedicated API key for AlgoWay. A dedicated key is easier to identify later, easier to disable if needed, and easier to replace without affecting other tools.
Use a clear API key name, for example:
algoway
When Bybit asks for the API usage type, select API Transaction.
When Bybit asks for permission level, select Read-Write.
If Bybit offers IP restriction, select the option that allows access only from trusted IP addresses, then enter the AlgoWay IP address shown inside your AlgoWay dashboard.
After that, enable the trading permissions required for the Bybit route you want to use.
For futures or perpetual trading, you normally need permissions related to orders, positions, trading, and unified trading features if your Bybit account uses a Unified Trading Account.
For spot trading, enable spot permissions only if your automation route is intended for spot markets.
After selecting the required permissions, submit the API key form.
Step 2. Save the Bybit API Key and API Secret
After security verification, Bybit will show the API Key and API Secret.
Copy both values immediately.
The API Secret is usually shown only once during key creation. If you close the window before saving it, you may need to create a new API key and update the AlgoWay webhook settings again.
Keep the API Key and API Secret ready. You will paste them into the Bybit webhook form inside AlgoWay.
Step 3. Create the Bybit execution route in AlgoWay
Now log in to your AlgoWay dashboard.
Create a new webhook route. In AlgoWay, a webhook is the internal routing object that connects a signal source with an execution destination.
For the execution platform, choose Bybit.
In the Bybit webhook form, fill in the required fields.
The important settings are:
Source:
Choose the signal source that will be connected to this route. If this route is being prepared for Telegram signals, choose Telegram as the source when creating the Telegram-to-Bybit route.
Platform:
Choose Bybit as the execution platform.
API Key:
Paste the API Key copied from Bybit.
API Secret:
Paste the API Secret copied from Bybit.
Market Type:
Select the market type you want to trade, such as futures, perpetual, or spot, depending on your AlgoWay route and Bybit account setup.
Margin Mode:
Choose cross or isolated, according to your trading setup.
Trade Type:
Choose the execution mode that matches your strategy and account behavior. This may depend on whether you want one-way, hedge, reverse, or another supported execution logic inside AlgoWay.
Quantity or size settings:
Choose how AlgoWay should interpret trade size. For Telegram signals, this can later be combined with Auto Size or Manual Size mode in the Telegram Copier settings.
After saving the form, AlgoWay creates the Bybit execution route.
At this stage, Bybit is ready as the destination. Telegram is not connected yet.
Step 4. Create the Telegram-to-Bybit route
Create another route or select the route where the source is Telegram and the destination platform is Bybit.
In the Source field, choose:
Telegram
This tells AlgoWay that incoming trading signals will come from a Telegram channel or Telegram group.
In the Platform field, choose:
Bybit
This tells AlgoWay that recognized Telegram signals should be converted into structured trade commands and sent to Bybit.
After saving, AlgoWay has the logical route:
Telegram source → AlgoWay AI parser → Bybit execution
However, the system still does not know which Telegram account or channel to read. That is configured separately in the Telegram Copier settings.
Step 5. Connect your Telegram account
Open the Settings page in AlgoWay and find the Telegram Copier block.
In the Telegram Source Webhook field, select the Telegram-to-Bybit route you created.
Then enter the phone number of the Telegram account that has access to the signal channel.
Use the international format, for example:
+374XXXXXXXX
+33XXXXXXXXX
+1XXXXXXXXXX
Click Send Code.
Telegram will send a confirmation code to that Telegram account.
Enter the received code into the verification field in AlgoWay and click Connect Telegram.
If the Telegram account has a two-factor authentication password, AlgoWay may ask for that password before the connection can be completed.
After the Telegram account is connected, AlgoWay can load the list of channels and groups available to that Telegram account.
Important: connecting the Telegram account does not start copying trades yet. It only gives AlgoWay access to the list of available Telegram chats.
Step 6. Select the Telegram signal channel
In the Telegram Copier block, click Load My Chats.
AlgoWay will load the Telegram channels and groups that are visible to the connected Telegram account.
Select the exact Telegram channel or group where the trading signals are posted.
If the channel does not appear in the list, check that the connected Telegram account is already a member of that channel or group. After joining the channel with that account, return to AlgoWay and click Load My Chats again.
After selecting the correct channel, save the copier settings.
At this stage, AlgoWay knows the route:
this Telegram account → this Telegram channel → this AlgoWay Telegram route → Bybit
Step 7. Configure trade size
Telegram signals do not always include trade size.
Some providers may write a full signal like:
BUY BTCUSDT
Entry: 65000
SL: 64200
TP: 66500
Size: 0.01
In that case, AlgoWay AI can try to read the size from the message.
Other providers may write only:
BUY BTCUSDT
SL 64200
TP 66500
In this case, the signal has direction, symbol, stop loss, and take profit, but no position size.
AlgoWay gives you two main options.
Auto Size Mode:
AlgoWay tries to extract the size from the Telegram signal itself.
Manual Size Mode:
You set a default trade size inside AlgoWay. If the Telegram signal does not contain size, AlgoWay uses the default size configured by the user.
For a new Telegram signal provider, Manual Size Mode is often easier for testing because you control the default order size directly.
After choosing the size mode, save the copier settings.
Step 8. Enable Telegram Copier
After the Telegram account is connected, the signal channel is selected, and trade size is configured, enable Telegram Copier.
Then save the settings.
The active workflow becomes:
New Telegram message → AlgoWay AI signal detection → structured trading command → Bybit execution route → Bybit order
When a real trading signal appears in the selected Telegram channel, AlgoWay AI analyzes the message, extracts the trading parameters, and sends the resulting command to the Bybit route.
Step 9. What AlgoWay AI reads from Telegram signals
AlgoWay AI is designed to work with human-written trading messages, not only strict templates.
A Telegram signal may contain:
symbol
trade direction
entry price
market execution instruction
stop loss
take profit
trade size
partial close instruction
break-even update
position management instruction
For example, a provider may write:
BUY BTCUSDT
Entry 65000
SL 64200
TP1 66000
TP2 67000
Another provider may write:
Bitcoin long now
Stop below 64200
Targets 66000 and 67000
A strict parser may fail if every signal is not written in the same format. AlgoWay AI is used before execution to understand the message and convert usable trading instructions into structured order data.
Step 10. Messages that should not become trades
Not every Telegram message is a trading signal.
Telegram channels often contain updates, results, promotions, comments, screenshots, or market opinions.
Examples of messages that should not open a trade:
Net Profit: +12%
Trade closed in profit
Win rate update
Join VIP
Market looks risky today
BTC is moving fast
Good morning traders
AlgoWay AI is intended to separate real trading instructions from general channel noise.
The system should only route a message when it contains a real trading command that can be converted into an order.
Step 11. Test before using meaningful size
Before using meaningful order size, test the full route with a small size.
Check the following:
The Bybit API key is active.
The API Secret was copied correctly.
The AlgoWay IP address is allowed in the Bybit API settings.
The required Bybit trading permissions are enabled.
The selected market type matches the symbol.
The margin mode matches the Bybit account setup.
The Telegram account can see the selected channel.
The Telegram Copier is enabled.
The trade size mode is configured.
The signal format is being interpreted correctly.
AlgoWay logs show the received Telegram message and the destination response.
If Bybit rejects an order, check the Bybit response and verify symbol, quantity, account mode, permission set, margin settings, and market type.
Step 12. Why use AlgoWay for Telegram to Bybit automation
A custom Telegram to Bybit bot requires several technical components.
You would need to build or maintain:
a Telegram listener
a message parser
AI or rule-based signal extraction
a Bybit API client
credential storage
symbol mapping
order routing
error logs
position logic
execution monitoring
server hosting
AlgoWay combines the signal source, AI parsing, routing layer, logs, and exchange execution route inside one workflow.
Telegram provides the signal.
AlgoWay AI reads and structures the signal.
Bybit executes the order through the connected API route.
This makes AlgoWay useful for traders who want Telegram signal automation without building and hosting their own Bybit trading bot.
