From Tweet to Trade

Trading tweets contain valuable levels, but they're buried in unstructured text. 'Supports at 35/20, targeting 70/90, below 10 look for 5980' means nothing to machines. Traders miss updates or misread shorthand. By the time you parse the tweet, the trade's already moved.

"The solution had to understand trading shorthand, resolve ambiguous prices from context, and deliver structured data fast enough to matter."

$ ./project-overview

A Telegram bot that scrapes trading tweets, uses AI to extract structured price levels (supports, targets, fail levels), and delivers formatted alerts to subscribers. When ES futures approach extracted levels, users get price alerts with visual charts showing the levels overlaid on price data.

Feature

AI Level Extraction

Custom-tuned prompts parse trading tweets into structured data. Handles shorthand like '35' meaning 6935 based on current ES price context. Extracts supports, targets, fail levels, downside targets, and reclaim levels.

• Parses trading shorthand and abbreviations
• Resolves ambiguous prices from market context
• Structured JSON output for every tweet

$ ./realtime-alerts

• Formatted messages with full level breakdown
• Subscription tiers with multiple trader slots

$ ./visual-charts

Feature

When ES approaches an extracted level, the bot sends a chart showing price action with all levels overlaid. See exactly where you are relative to supports and targets.

• Auto-generated charts on price approach
• All levels visualized on price data
• Market hours awareness (pre-market, RTH, overnight)

What I Learned

AI prompt engineering is the real work. Getting consistent structured output from unstructured trading tweets took more iteration than the code itself.

Telegram Bots are underrated. The API is clean, webhooks work reliably, and users already have the app installed.

Speed matters in trading tools. Every minute of latency is a minute traders are behind. Optimize the pipeline, not just the code.
