• Monitor telegram news channels and send to google sheets for further processing. (Google Apps Script server on Google Sheets is very simple to set up)

• Grab signals from Forex / Crypto telegram channels and send to server for automated trading

Usage

Make sure your in a telegram channel or create your own one to test.

Then run the program

$ node index.js

It is currently set up to poll the telegram server every 60 seconds. It will filter message according to your needs. For mine im using it to compare with distance required me to travel and the locum worth or not of doing it

Contribute

Would love for someone to implement the updates feature so the app doesnt need to constantly poll the server for new messages. Feel free to send a pull request.
