QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
Hi,
Doggie52/QuantConnect-Telegram-Bot
I've been working a bit on a (very basic) Telegram bot for QuantConnect algorithms. For QuantConnect deployments, it can only display $ NAV. For Oanda accounts, it can display a greater array of information.
Looking for some input regarding what functionality to add! Feel free to raise Issues or contact me directly. Hopefully it's of some use to someone.

Wow. I think this will be very valuable. My thoughts (in general) may be somewhat useful:
- For long term strategies, I personally would want to be notified of every trade. And have the bot provide some statistics as well with such notification such as (since inception): realized % PL, perhaps realized sharpe ratio, and %PL/month. Which would allow me to get a feel for how the algorithm is trending in various market conditions.
- If one can query the bot directly, it would be useful to get a list of one's current positions, as well as the stats.
- For intra-day strategies, I would prefer a daily summary of activity, including daily statistics as well as the longer-term ones.
- Finally, I think it would be worthwhile to create a sort of alarm upon drawdown of say 5% 10%, 15%, 20%... etc. From account high that is. For instance in going down to 15% 3 alerts would be triggered, then upon going to 5% below starting balance the 10% and 15% alerts would be available for re-trigger so one isn't blinded by adverse activity. This would allow one to be alerted if the algo begins going haywire.
- An alarm upon excessive trading as well, although obviously 'excessive' varies depending on the strategy.
I'm still working on my first algorithm, so um, take the suggestions with a grain of salt I suppose.Â

Hey Ian - thanks for the extensive feedback, it's greatly appreciated. If you trade via OANDA, you can currently get a list of your open positions along with the realized/unrealized P&L.Â
Unfortunately, right now, most of the other things you've suggested requires the QuantConnect API to be extended so that more information can be gathered from a live deployment. I have made a few GH issues in the bot repository and also made one in the main LEAN repo.
