Learn the two ways to connect your Discord and Telegram sources to the Alpha Platform.
There are two primary ways to connect your alpha sources to Shuriken. For most users, the Official Bots provide the simplest and most secure setup. For power users needing to access private groups, the “Bring Your Own Alpha” (BYO Alpha) method offers maximum flexibility.
We strongly recommend starting with the Official Shuriken Bots. They are purpose-built for security, simplicity, and respecting platform permissions.
Official Bots (Recommended)
Bring Your Own Alpha (Power Users)
Easiest Setup
Invite the bot to your Discord server, authorize, and you’re done. No personal accounts involved.
Secure & Permissioned
The bot only sees what you allow it to see, operating within the standard Discord permission model you already know.
Best for:
Most traders and alpha groups.
Community owners who want to provide signals to their members.
Anyone who wants a secure, “set it and forget it” solution.
Get your community owner to install the official bot! It’s the de facto way to connect your group’s alpha and the best way to ensure everyone in your group can benefit securely.
Connect a personal Discord or Telegram account to access private, invite-only groups you’re a member of.
Total Coverage
The system will process all messages from all joined servers/chats for signal evaluation.
Best for:
Power users with dedicated “alpha burner” accounts.
Accessing private alpha sources where bots are not allowed.
Privacy & Terms of Service NoticeThis advanced method requires connecting a personal user account. Our service will process all messages from that account for signal evaluation. You are responsible for complying with the platform’s (Discord/Telegram) Terms of Service.We make no guarantees of end-to-end privacy when using this method and only recommend it for dedicated “burner” accounts.
