# Telegram usage
## Setup your Telegram bot
Below we explain how to create your Telegram Bot, and how to get your
Telegram user id.
### 1. Create your Telegram bot
Start a chat with the [Telegram BotFather](https://telegram.me/BotFather)
Send the message `/newbot`.
*BotFather response:*
> Alright, a new bot. How are we going to call it? Please choose a name for your bot.
Choose the public name of your bot (e.x. `Freqtrade bot`)
*BotFather response:*
> Good. Now let's choose a username for your bot. It must end in `bot`. Like this, for example: TetrisBot or tetris_bot.
Choose the name id of your bot and send it to the BotFather (e.g. "`My_own_freqtrade_bot`")
*BotFather response:*
> Done! Congratulations on your new bot. You will find it at `t.me/yourbots_name_bot`. You can now add a description, about section and profile picture for your bot, see /help for a list of commands. By the way, when you've finished creating your cool bot, ping our Bot Support if you want a better username for it. Just make sure the bot is fully operational before you do this.
> Use this token to access the HTTP API: `22222222:APITOKEN`
> For a description of the Bot API, see this page: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api Father bot will return you the token (API key)
Copy the API Token (`22222222:APITOKEN` in the above example) and keep use it for the config parameter `token`.
Don't forget to start the conversation with your bot, by clicking `/START` button
### 2. Telegram user_id
#### Get your user id
Talk to the [userinfobot](https://telegram.me/userinfobot)
Get your "Id", you will use it for the config parameter `chat_id`.
#### Use Group id
You can use bots in telegram groups by just adding them to the group. You can find the group id by first adding a [RawDataBot](https://telegram.me/rawdatabot) to your group. The Group id is shown as id in the `"chat"` section, which the RawDataBot will send to you:
``` json
"chat":{
"id":-1001332619709
}
```
For the Freqtrade configuration, you can then use the the full value (including `-` if it's there) as string:
```json
"chat_id": "-1001332619709"
```
## Control telegram noise
Freqtrade provides means to control the verbosity of your telegram bot.
Each setting has the following possible values:
* `on` - Messages will be sent, and user will be notified.
* `silent` - Message will be sent, Notification will be without sound / vibration.
* `off` - Skip sending a message-type all together.
Example configuration showing the different settings:
``` json
"telegram": {
"enabled": true,
"token": "your_telegram_token",
"chat_id": "your_telegram_chat_id",
"notification_settings": {
"status": "silent",
"warning": "on",
"startup": "off",
"buy": "silent",
"sell": "on",
"buy_cancel": "silent",
"sell_cancel": "on"
}
},
```
## Telegram commands

## Telegram commands in action
Below, example of Telegram message you will receive for each command.
### /start
> **Status:** `running`
### /stop
> `Stopping trader ...`
> **Status:** `stopped`
### /stopbuy
> **status:** `Setting max_open_trades to 0. Run /reload_config to reset.`
Prevents the bot from opening new trades by temporarily setting "max_open_trades" to 0. Open trades will be handled via their regular rules (ROI / Sell-signal, stoploss, ...).
After this, give the bot time to close off open trades (can be checked via `/status table`).
Once all positions are sold, run `/stop` to completely stop the bot.
`/reload_config` resets "max_open_trades" to the value set in the configuration and resets this command.
!!! Warning
The stop-buy signal is ONLY active while the bot is running, and is not persisted anyway, so restarting the bot will cause this to reset.
### /status
