Setting Up Alerts
QARI sends trade notifications directly to your personal Telegram account. Setup takes about two minutes and requires no technical knowledge. You just need to know your Telegram Chat ID, which the QARI bot gives you automatically.
- 1
Open the QARI dashboard
Go to app.qari.trade and log into your account.
- 2
Open Settings and scroll to Telegram Alerts
In the left menu, click Settings. You will see a card called "Telegram Alerts". It shows your current connection status.
- 3
Start a conversation with the QARI bot on Telegram
The Settings card shows a direct link to the QARI bot. Tap it to open Telegram, then tap Start or type /start and send it. If you do not see a link, open Telegram and search for the QARI Bot by name.
- 4
The bot sends you your Chat ID
Within a second, the bot replies with a message containing your unique Chat ID. It looks like a 9 to 11 digit number, for example: 123456789.
- 5
Paste the Chat ID into the dashboard
Copy the number from Telegram. Back in QARI Settings, paste it into the Chat ID field under the Telegram Alerts card and click "Link".
- 6
Confirm the connection
The dashboard immediately sends a confirmation message to your Telegram. If you receive it, setup is complete. The status badge in the card changes to Linked.
What if the bot does not reply?
Make sure you tapped Start or typed /start and sent it. Telegram does not allow bots to message you unless you have started the conversation first. If you already started the conversation, try sending /start again.
Is this the same as the Telegram signal channel?
No. The QARI bot sends you notifications about your personal trades. It is private to your account. The signal channels that QARI monitors are separate and are configured by the operator, not users.
Can I unlink later?
Yes. In Settings under the Telegram Alerts card, click Unlink. You will stop receiving notifications immediately. You can re-link at any time with the same steps above.
Reading an Entry Alert
When QARI places Leg 1 of a trade, you receive an entry alert. Here is an example alert and what each field means.
QARI ENTRY ALERT
Symbol: SOLUSDT
Leg: 1 of 2
Entry Price: $142.50
Position Size: $200 USDT
Stop-Loss: $121.10 (-15.0%)
PT1: $170.00 (+19.3%)
PT2: $195.00 (+36.8%)
Confidence Score: 78 / 100
R/R Ratio: 2.4R
The trading pair. All trades are spot pairs against USDT.
QARI enters in two legs. This shows which leg just filled. Leg 1 is the initial entry. Leg 2 enters after confirmation.
The price at which this leg was executed.
The USDT amount used for this leg.
The price at which QARI will close the entire position if hit. The percentage shows how far below entry it is placed.
Profit targets. At PT1, 40% of the position closes. At PT2, 30% closes. The remaining 30% trails.
QARI's internal scoring of how many layers aligned and how strongly. Higher is better. 70+ is the minimum for entry.
Risk-to-reward. A 2.4R means for every $1 risked, the target returns $2.40. Minimum entry threshold is 2.0R.
Reading an Exit Alert
When any part of a position closes, you receive an exit alert. Here is an example PT1 partial exit.
QARI EXIT ALERT
Symbol: SOLUSDT
Exit Type: PT1 Reached
Closed: 40% of position
Exit Price: $170.20
Realised P&L: +$21.84 (+19.5%)
Remaining: 60% still open
Stop moved to: Breakeven ($142.50)
After PT1, the stop-loss moves to the entry price (breakeven). The remaining 60% of the position is now risk-free. You have locked in a partial profit and the worst outcome on the rest is a breakeven exit.
Full trade lifecycle
PT1 hit
40% of position sold at PT1. Stop-loss moved to entry (breakeven). 60% remains open.
PT2 hit
30% of the remaining position sold at PT2. Trailing stop armed at entry. Roughly 42% of original position now rides with a ratcheting stop.
Trailing stop fires
As price rises, the trailing stop ratchets upward, locking in profit. When price reverses and hits the trailing stop, QARI sells the entire remaining position and the trade is fully closed.
Stop-loss hit
If price reaches the stop-loss before any profit targets, the entire position is closed immediately. A cooldown period prevents re-entry on the same symbol for 24 hours.
Understanding R-Multiples
R stands for Risk. One R is the amount you risked on a trade. If you risked $100 and lost, that is -1R. If you risked $100 and made $200, that is +2R.
R-multiples let you evaluate performance independent of position size. Whether your trade was $100 or $1,000, a 2R result means you made twice what you risked.
Example R-multiple calculations
What "Leg 2 Filled" Means
QARI uses a two-leg entry system. Leg 1 enters when the initial setup criteria are met. Leg 2 enters only after the market makes a CHoCH (Change of Character), a structural confirmation that the trade direction is valid.
When you receive a "Leg 2 Filled" alert, it means the trade has now fully entered at a larger total size. The combined position now has a single stop-loss (at the original level), and profit targets apply to the full combined size.
If a Leg 2 alert never arrives, it means the CHoCH confirmation never occurred. The trade may still close at stop, breakeven, or PT1 based solely on Leg 1. This is intentional. Leg 2 is only added when the market validates the trade.
What Not To Do
These are the most common mistakes new users make after seeing their first QARI alerts.
Do not manually close a position early
QARI's exit logic is built around the full trade lifecycle. Closing early disrupts the statistical edge and means you may miss PT2 and trailing gains.
Do not move the stop-loss manually
The stop-loss is placed at a structurally significant level. Moving it manually invalidates the setup logic.
Do not add to QARI's positions manually
Adding size outside of QARI's leg system creates inconsistent position sizing that breaks the R-tracker calculations.
Do not react emotionally to unrealised losses
Every open trade will show unrealised loss at some point. The stop-loss is there to define the maximum. Trust the process.
Do not disable trading after one losing trade
A single stop-loss is not a signal that QARI is not working. Evaluate performance over 20 or more trades using R-multiples.
