Overview
Signal Sources are the foundation of automated trading in Tradecraft. A signal source is any input stream that notifies your trading strategies about a new token.
Think of signal sources as your automated scouts - they watch the market 24/7 and alert your strategies the moment interesting tokens appear.
How Signal Sources Work
Configure Source - Connect a signal source (Telegram channel, Discord server, wallet tracker, etc.)
Assign to Strategy - Link one or more signal sources to your trading strategy
Automatic Detection - The source continuously monitors for new token mentions
Signal Generation - When a token is detected, a "signal" is created with token metadata (address, price, market cap, etc.)
Strategy Evaluation - Your strategy receives the signal and decides whether to trade
Execution - If conditions are met, trades execute automatically
