Telegram
One channel per event type — each with its own notification sound.
Blind Monkeys reports every trading event through Telegram. Alerts are split across dedicated channels so each event type can carry its own notification sound: losses and administrative events get neutral tones, while the Ka-ching channel fires the cash-register sound only when you make money.

Scan messages
Every scan — the 15-minute automated Conservative and Risk-Taker runs, plus manual scans — produces exactly one message to the Blind Monkey Channel:
- Buy signals found: a green "Scan — N Buy Signal(s)" message lists up to ten coins with their Z-score, RSI, and momentum.
- No signals: a "Scan Complete: No coin met the buy criteria" message reports the current score threshold (the auto-open value from the futures settings), the highest-scoring coin even though it didn't qualify — with the exact criterion that blocked it (e.g., "blocked by: RSI 67.7 ≥ 60") — and the mode, number of coins scanned, and the 20-day lookback. Negative scores are shown as "NEGATIVE x.x".
