Polycopybot.app Telegram Bot - Alerts, Commands & Setup

Polycopybot.app runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — which means trades execute while you're asleep, at work, or away from your desk. The Polycopybot.app Telegram bot is your mobile monitoring and control layer: instant push notifications for every trade, every resolution, and every drawdown warning, plus a full set of remote commands that let you control your copy trading bot from anywhere Telegram runs.

This article covers every alert type, every available command, and the 2-minute connection process. For the broader context on Telegram integration across copy trading tools, see our Polymarket Telegram bot guide.

What the Polycopybot.app Telegram Bot Does

The Telegram integration serves two functions: push notifications (outbound, from Polycopybot.app to you) and remote commands (inbound, from you to Polycopybot.app). Together they give you the same visibility and control as the web dashboard, on any device that runs Telegram.

Telegram integration is optional — Polycopybot.app executes trades regardless of whether it's connected. But for traders who want real-time awareness without constantly checking a browser tab, it's the most practical monitoring setup available.

Trade Execution Alerts

Every time Polycopybot.app mirrors a trade, you receive an immediate Telegram notification. Each alert includes:

• Market name — the Polymarket market the trade was placed in
• Followed wallet — address (truncated) of the wallet whose trade triggered the copy
• Direction — YES or NO position
• Your position size — USDC amount placed
• Your fill price — actual on-chain fill in cents
• Original wallet's fill price — what the copied wallet paid
• Fill deviation — percentage difference between the two fills
• Market link — direct link to the Polymarket market page

The fill deviation figure is the most actionable data point in the alert — it tells you exactly how much execution lag cost you on that specific trade. Over time, tracking this number helps you understand the real cost of copying each wallet.

Other Alert Types

Position Resolution Alerts

When a Polymarket market resolves, Polycopybot.app sends a resolution alert showing: market name, your final position, resolution outcome (YES or NO wins), your gross PnL on the position, and the cumulative PnL from that copied wallet since you started following it.

Wallet Drawdown Warnings

When a followed wallet's 30-day return approaches your configured auto-pause threshold, Polycopybot.app sends a warning alert — giving you time to manually review and decide whether to keep copying or pause before the automatic threshold is reached.

Auto-Pause Notifications

When a wallet's drawdown triggers the automatic pause threshold, you receive an immediate alert: wallet address, the drawdown percentage that triggered the pause, and a reminder that manual re-enable is required. The bot does not resume copying from a paused wallet automatically.

Infrastructure Alerts

If a node failover occurs (primary Frankfurt node → Singapore backup), you receive a brief notification. Sub-80ms failover means no trades are missed — the alert is informational, not a warning of missed signals.

Remote Commands

Send these commands directly to @PolycopyBot in Telegram:

Command	Action
/status	Returns current bot state: active/paused, number of wallets being copied, open positions count
/pause	Immediately halts all new copy trades across all wallets
/resume	Resumes copying from all active (non-drawdown-paused) wallets
/positions	Lists all currently open mirror positions with market, size, entry price, and current price
/wallets	Lists all followed wallets with their AI scores, 30-day return, and active/paused status
/pnl	Returns 24h, 7d, and 30d PnL across all copied positions
/pause_wallet [address]	Pauses copying from a specific wallet while others remain active
/resume_wallet [address]	Resumes copying from a specific wallet that was manually paused

Daily Summary

Each morning at 8:00 AM your local time, Polycopybot.app sends an automated daily summary containing:

• Total open positions count and aggregate USDC exposure
• Previous day's realized PnL (from resolved markets)
• Unrealized PnL on open positions at current prices
• Number of trades executed in the previous 24 hours
• Any wallets currently in drawdown-paused state

The daily summary is designed to give you a full picture of your copy portfolio's state in under 30 seconds, without requiring any active interaction.

Setup: Connect in 2 Minutes

1. Open your Polycopybot.app dashboard and navigate to Settings → Telegram Integration
2. Start a chat with @PolycopyBot on Telegram — you'll receive a unique 6-digit verification code
3. Enter the code in the dashboard and click Save
4. Send /status in Telegram to confirm the connection is active

The connection is immediate — your next trade execution will trigger a Telegram notification. No webhook configuration, no API keys to manage, no additional setup.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of It

• Pin the @PolycopyBot chat in Telegram so alerts are never missed in a busy notification stack
• Enable Telegram notifications for the bot — if your Telegram notification settings mute new chats by default, you'll miss trade alerts
• Use /pnl weekly rather than checking individual trade alerts for performance reviews — the aggregate view is more useful than per-trade tracking for strategy evaluation
• Use /pause_wallet proactively when you see a followed wallet taking positions in a category you're uncertain about — it's faster than adjusting category exclusions in the dashboard
• Check fill deviation trends in your weekly /pnl review — consistently high fill deviation on a specific wallet may indicate it's trading in thin liquidity markets where copying costs more than the signal value
