Quick start

You place your first order by selecting Send under Sample alert on a bot. Getting there takes a simulated broker, a strategy that buys a SPY call on each long entry, and a bot with a budget per entry of 500.

Before you start

You need:

• A Nyria account (sign up)
• An alert source, such as TradingView, Discord, Telegram or any service that can send a webhook

You don't need a brokerage account. This guide uses Nyria Paper, the built-in simulated broker. It connects in one click and is free on every plan.

The example strategy takes TradingView alerts, buys a SPY call on each long entry and sells it on the long exit.

Step 1: Connect a broker

1. Select Integrations in the left sidebar.
2. Select the Nyria Paper card in the Brokers grid.
3. Select Create Nyria Paper account.

Tradier and Alpaca also offer their own paper accounts. To test on one of those instead, see paper trading.

Step 2: Create your strategy

A strategy says where alerts come from and what each alert does.

Name and alert source

1. Go to My strategies.
2. Select Create strategy.
3. Fill in:
   • Strategy name: "My SPY Strategy"
   • Alert source: TradingView
4. Select Next.

For Discord alerts, invite the Nyria bot to the server before you start. The form asks for the server and channel on this screen.

What it trades

Set these fields:

1. Asset type: Options
2. Contract selection: From my rules
3. Long behavior:
   • On a long entry alert: Enter position
   • Close on exit alerts: on
   • Order type: Market order
4. Short behavior:
   • On a short entry alert: Do nothing

Option legs

Set Leg 1 to a call about 30 delta, one to six weeks out:

• Action: Buy
• Type: Call
• Strike selection: Delta, 0.30
• Days to expiry: 7–31

Select Next.

Who can copy it

1. Select Private.
2. Select Next.

Which tickers

1. Search for "SPY" and add it.
2. Enter a Max cost per contract: the most one contract costs to enter. An option quoted at $6.00 costs $600 a contract, so enter 600.
3. Select Next.

Review

1. Check the summary.
2. Select Create draft.

Nyria saves the strategy as a draft. It can't trade until step 3 checks its alert format.

Strategies →

Step 3: Check the alert format

Creating the strategy opens its Integration tab. With TradingView as the alert source, that tab runs a guided wizard: Script type → Create the alert → Check format → Done.

1. In Create the alert, follow the steps to paste the alert message and webhook URL into a TradingView alert.
2. In Check format, select Check and save.
3. When it passes, the strategy status changes from Draft to Active.

For Discord and Telegram strategies, the tab shows an Alert format card instead. It checks messages you pick from the chat's preview, one per enabled trade type. In a new Telegram chat, post one test message per enabled trade type first. For a Custom webhook strategy, type one example alert per enabled trade type, then select Check format. Alert format →

Step 4: Deploy your bot

1. On your strategy, select Deploy bot.
2. If the switch at the top says Live, select Paper.
3. Set Budget per entry to 500 and select Next.
4. Select Deploy on Nyria Paper.

With Paper on and Nyria Paper as your only account, the wizard skips Account.

The bot now places an order on Nyria Paper for the next alert that matches the strategy.

Bots →

Step 5: Test your setup

1. Open your bot from My bots.
2. Under Sample alert, select Send. Nyria sends the bot a sample alert, and the card marks each stage as it happens: Sent, Read, Order placed, Filled.
3. Select View trade to see the order.

An options sample runs only while the options market is open. Outside market hours the card shows Rejected: Options market is closed.

To test with a real alert, let your TradingView alert fire. For a Discord or Telegram strategy, post SPY long entry in the channel; for a custom webhook, POST it to the webhook URL. The order shows on the bot's Logs tab.

Go live

A bot on a live broker account needs a Nyria Pro plan, or access to a Premium strategy you've bought. Paper bots are free, so run the strategy on Nyria Paper until its trades look right. See pricing and limits.

1. Connect a Live account.
2. Deploy a bot on it, or edit a bot and pick it.
3. Start with a small budget per entry.

Before going live, see the checklist. Once live, run the daily check.
