Cryptocurrency alerts V Telegram
Alerts on rising open interest, extreme funding, large liquidations, and abnormal volumes - right in Telegram. Latency less than 200ms through WebSocket.
The crypto market is open 24/7, but you aren't. Alerts TRdesk monitor derivative data Binance, OKX And Bybit and send a signal to Telegram in milliseconds. Instead of manually monitoring 200+ futures pairs, you set your conditions once and receive a notification when the market moves in your favor.
Why do you need alerts if you have a screener?
The screener shows the current situation for all coins—you open it when you sit down to trade. But market anomalies don't wait until you're at your computer. Funding by ETH could drop below -0.1% at 3am, and a $50M liquidation cascade could begin while you're on the road.
Alerts solve this problem. You set specific conditions—BTC OI grew by 10% in 5 minutes" or "liquidation of more than $1M" - and TRdesk sends a notification to Telegram at the moment of activation. Data comes from the stock exchange API through WebSocketStreams without polling or artificial delays. The delay from the event to your phone is less than 200 milliseconds.
Who's it for: Perpetual futures traders who need automated monitoring. Instead of staring at charts 16 hours a day, you'll only see the events that actually impact your trades.

Types of triggers for alerts
Each trigger tracks a specific anomaly in the derivatives market. Below is a complete list with example conditions and an explanation of why these events are critical for traders.
| Trigger | Example of a condition | Why track? |
|---|---|---|
| Open interest growth | BTC OI +10% in 5 minutes | A sudden influx of leveraged capital—new positions are opened aggressively. Often precedes a momentum price movement. |
| Extreme Funding | ETH Funding < -0.1% | Shorts are paying longs an abnormally high rate. Historically, this is the potential squeeze zone for short positions. |
| Major liquidation | Liquidation > $1M per minute | A forced liquidation of a large position triggers a cascade: subsequent liquidations push the price even further. |
| Abnormal volume | SOL volume +500% of average | A sudden surge in trading activity—the entry of a major participant, a reaction to news, or the beginning of manipulation |
| Breakout of the price level | BTC crossed $100,000 | Psychological and technical levels: no need to monitor the chart, the bot will tell you when the price reaches your level |
| Changing the Long/Short Ratio | L/S BTC< 0.8 | Sharp skew in positioning: When shorts dominate en masse, it's a contrarian bullish signal. |
| Change in funding | DOGE Funding from -0.01% to +0.08% | Rapid change in funding direction: the market switches from bearish to bullish in one calculation period |
| Cascade of liquidations | Liquidations > $10M in 5 minutes | Massive takeout of leveraged positions. During a cascade. FTX liquidation in November 2022 BTC reached $100M per minute |
Real-life scenarios: when an alert saves a deal
Cascade of liquidations: November 2022, collapse FTX
November 8, 2022 liquidation on the market BTC reached $100 million in one minute. Traders with a large liquidation alert (a threshold of $1 million) received the first signal 4–6 seconds before the main wave crashed the price from $20,500 to $15,700. These seconds were enough to close long positions or open short ones.
The difference between a polling service with a 15 second delay and WebSocket With a 200ms delay in such situations, it's the difference between a loss and a profit. During a cascading liquidation, the price can move 5-7% in a minute, and every second of delay increases slippage when closing the position.
Short squeeze: BTC October 2023
In mid-October 2023, funding BTC on Binance dropped to -0.04% and held for two days. Open interest was growing, with short sellers entering aggressively. A trader with an alertBTC "funding below -0.03%" received a notification in the first hours of the anomaly's growth.
Result: BTC The market rose from $27,000 to $35,000 in two weeks. Those who responded to the alert and went long took 30% of the move. Those who only followed the market during sessions saw the already-accomplished fact on the chart. An alert doesn't guarantee anything, but it puts you first in line.
Abnormal growth OI with a sideways movement
ETH It's been trading in the $3,200-$3,300 range for a week now, with volume falling—it's a boring market. But the alertOI "+15% in 10 minutes" triggers at 2 a.m. Someone takes on a large leveraged position without moving the price—classic behavior of an institutional investor or a whale strategy.
This situation is like a compressed spring. The direction is harder to predict, but the very fact of the anomaly suggests a breakout from the range will happen soon, and it will be sharp. Simply place pending orders above and below the range.
How the notification system works
Alerts TRdesk receive data through WebSocket-streams directly from API exchanges - this is a fundamental architectural difference from services that query API By timer (polling). With polling, the delay is from 5 to 30 seconds because the server makes a request to the exchange once every N seconds and only then checks the triggers. WebSocket receives an event at the moment it occurs on the exchange.
Delivery chain: the exchange sends the data through WebSocket → server TRdesk checks the conditions of your alerts → when triggered, sends a message to Telegram Bot APIThe total latency is less than 200 milliseconds. In practice, this means you receive notifications faster than you can manually refresh the exchange page.
