Condor provides a Telegram bot interface for mobile-friendly control of your trading infrastructure. You can interact with it conversationally or use structured commands.

​
Conversational Mode

Before creating Trading Agents, you can talk to Condor directly using natural language:

​
/servers, /keys, /gateway - System Configuration

Configuration is three separate commands rather than one menu:

​
Exchange credentials are dashboard-only

/keys lists the exchanges currently connected and nothing more. Connecting a new one, or removing an existing one, happens in the web dashboard under Settings → Keys — the command hands you a login link, valid for 5 minutes, to get there. An API secret is never typed into a Telegram chat, where it would sit in message history on Telegram’s servers.
When creating the key at your exchange, enable read + trade only. Do not enable withdrawal or transfer permissions.
Older material refers to a single /config command. It no longer exists — use the three above, or the dashboard’s Settings page, which covers the same ground in one place.

​
/update - Updates and Restart

Admin only. Checks Condor and the Hummingbot API beside it, showing what each is running and what is available — for the API, both its git checkout and its container image, since they answer different questions. Before anything runs, a preflight reports blockers (a diverged checkout, local changes that would be overwritten, an unreachable registry) with a way out where one exists — a dirty checkout offers discard or stash — and warnings that never refuse, such as restarting the API reaping its executors. An update lands the code, syncs dependencies, rebuilds the dashboard, and then asks you to relaunch rather than restarting itself: Condor is rarely the top of its own process tree, so re-execing races the parent into a second Condor on the same port and token. Run make restart when it asks.
The dashboard has the same panel at Settings → Updates, over the same engine — an update started here can be watched to completion there, and a Local mode install uses that panel instead of this command. See Keeping Condor updated.

​
/cancel - Back Out of a Flow

Several flows ask for the next message as their answer — a server name, a price, an amount. /cancel abandons that flow and returns you to normal command handling. It is what the prompts themselves tell you to send, and it works from inside any of them.

​
Notifications

Condor sends notifications for:
  • Executor state changes (created, filled, stopped)
  • Risk limit violations
  • Bot status changes
  • Price alerts from routines

​
Voice Commands

Send voice messages to Condor for hands-free trading. Condor uses Whisper for local transcription—no audio leaves your server.

​
How It Works

  1. Hold the microphone button in Telegram
  2. Speak your command
  3. Release to send
  4. Condor transcribes and processes your request

​
Examples

Check prices:
Create executors:
Check status:
The first voice message may take longer as Condor downloads the Whisper model (~1GB). Subsequent messages are faster.

​
Security

  • User Whitelist: Only authorized Telegram user IDs can interact with the bot
  • No Credential Storage: API keys are stored encrypted on the server, not in Telegram
  • Session Isolation: Each user’s session is isolated
