How PolyAlpha works

Everything you need to use the signal bot and trade bot — what each feature does, how alerts arrive, and what every button in Telegram means.

What is PolyAlpha?

PolyAlpha is a Telegram service for Polymarket traders. It watches markets, news, top traders, and unusual wallet activity, then sends you clear trade ideas with links, odds, and context.

You stay in control. PolyAlpha never holds your money and never asks for your private key. You decide whether to trade on Polymarket — manually from an alert, or automatically through the optional trade bot.
