Less Spammy Telegram

Please disable candlestick detection messages in Telegram, since they can be quite spammy.

A flag to mute them, set to default

Describe alternatives you've considered
Hacking that out of the code

This will be configurable when Telegram integrated with logger. So user will be able to pick which level of logs to get Telegram.
Telegram (in general Chat) logs may be have a separate log level than logger so chat configuration would have a little more detail.

I agree with @rcarmo that candlestick detection messages are spammy as a default. As a default Telegram should only be receiving buy and sell events. @emreeroglu if the user wants to receive more verbose messaging then they could increase the logging level as you describe. Are you able to help me remove those spammy messages as a default?

I would like to help, have some design ideas but need to finalize those and discuss with you so we can be future proof about possible new chat clients.

I was at a wedding the other day and my watch kept pinging me candlesticks!

I am writing this comment in agreement that it would be nice to customize which types of messages to receive from telegram (via the JSON file for example).

Any progress here ? I think that we have two options: one flag to disable candlestick detection or add a notification level.

I was thinking about implementing telegram (and possibly other messengers) as logging handlers in python. Did a quick proof of concept:

Leads to:

So we could just use log.debug, log.error, log.info etc and let the handlers handle it. Console Handler will log to stdout/stderr, filehandler will log to file, and $messengerHandler will send messages to $messenger (extendable, we could easily add more messengers).
Also each Handler could have its own level, so telegram could have a higher level than log file, and the ConsoleHandler could have the lowest level, as an example.
Didn't have the time to implement, but it's not exactly rocket science, so if someone wants to...
