AI Helper mode turns your agent into a fully autonomous trader. It watches your symbols, analyses every new candle, and fires LONG/SHORT/CLOSE signals — with or without your confirmation. Free to run with Groq API.
There are two ways to use AI in the agent — worth understanding the difference before you start.
One-shot analysis (Telegram mode) — you type BTC ai and get a single recommendation right now: direction, SL, TP, confidence score, reasoning. You review it and decide.
AI Helper mode — you add symbols to a watch list, and the agent polls for new candles every 30 seconds. Every time a new candle closes on the low timeframe, it fetches two sets of candles (high TF + low TF) and sends them to the LLM for analysis. The result is either executed automatically or sent to you as a confirmation request.
AI Helper is a separate signal source — like switching from Telegram signals to Quantilan Server, but the "server" is your own LLM running continuously on your watch list.
Open the Setup GUI and find the AI Models card. Three things to fill in:
llama-3.3-70b-versatile is recommendedClick Test Connection — the GUI sends a 5-token ping and shows a green checkmark if everything is working. No need to restart the agent for this test.
Groq's free tier is more than enough for AI Helper — even watching 5 symbols on a 15-minute timeframe costs well under the daily limit.
In the Signal Source section of the GUI, select AI Helper. Save and restart the agent.
You can also switch live from Telegram with the /source command — the agent will ask for confirmation if you have open positions.
After restart, /start will show AI HELPER as the signal source along with your current watch list.
Type /ai to open the preset selector. The preset controls which timeframes the AI analyses and how it interprets the market.
| Preset | High TF | Low TF | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Positional | 1W | 1D | Multi-day holds, macro trend following |
| Swing | 1D | 4H | 2–5 day swings, key structure levels |
| Intraday | 4H | 15M | Same-day trades, momentum setups |
The low TF is the trigger — a new candle on that timeframe kicks off the analysis. A new 15-minute candle fires every 15 minutes; a new daily candle fires once a day.
Tap 🚫 None to pause AI analysis without touching your open positions — they stay protected by stop-loss and take-profit orders as usual.
Two ways to add a symbol:
BTC |
Run analysis right now. If BTC is not in the watch list, the agent suggests adding it at the end. |
BTC ai |
Add to watch list immediately and run analysis. No extra prompt. |
BTC stop |
Remove from watch list (asks for confirmation first). |
The watch list is limited to your max positions setting — you can't watch more symbols than you can hold positions for. If the list is full, the agent will say so and ask you to remove something first.
The watch list persists across restarts — once configured, it survives agent restarts and server reboots without any manual action.
When the AI sees a tradeable setup, it sends a signal with direction, SL, TP, confidence percentage, and its reasoning in plain text.
What happens next depends on your /autoconfirm setting:
Start with auto-confirm OFF while you're getting familiar with the AI's style. Switch to ON once you've seen a few signals and trust the setup quality.
The agent also handles exits: if a position is open and the AI recommends closing or adjusting the stop-loss, the same confirmation flow applies.
Run /positions — each position shows not just P&L and SL/TP, but how it was opened: the signal source and the AI preset used.
🤖 AI Helper · Intraday — opened by the AI watcher on the Intraday preset📡 Quantilan — opened by a server signal💬 Telegram — opened from a manual command or forwarded messageThe same badge appears on the chart when you type a ticker — so you always know the context of any open trade at a glance.
Type BTC stop to remove a symbol from the watch list. The agent asks for confirmation before removing — so there are no accidental removals from a mistyped command.
Your open BTC position (if any) is not affected — it stays open under PositionMonitor protection with its stop-loss and take-profit intact. AI Helper just stops generating new signals for that symbol.
