Natural Language Usage

PredictDog's Telegram bot accepts plain-language instructions alongside commands and menus.

PredictDog Telegram bot natural language trade flow

Sending a plain-language instruction like "Buy 10 USDT of the BTC 5-minute market (Up), with take profit set at 70 and stop loss at 30" triggers a full order flow: market lookup, balance check, structured Order Preview, and one-tap Confirm or Cancel — no commands needed.

Best way to start​

Start with short intents such as:

  • my positions
  • my balance
  • open orders
  • bitcoin markets

Once you see how the bot responds, move into more targeted trade or market requests where supported.

URL + command trading​

PredictDog Telegram bot URL + command trade — Order Preview

The fastest way to trade a specific market is to paste the Polymarket URL directly into chat, followed by a trade instruction on the same message.

Format: <market URL> <instruction>

Examples:

https://polymarket.com/event/btc-100k buy yes 50

Buy YES with 50 USDC.e

https://polymarket.com/event/btc-100k buy no 10 shares

Buy 10 NO shares

https://polymarket.com/event/btc-100k sell yes 5 shares

Sell 5 YES shares

https://polymarket.com/event/btc-100k buy yes 68000

For multi-outcome events, the number matches the relevant sub-market (e.g. the outcome closest to 68000)

Pasting a URL without a trade instruction opens the event view so you can browse before deciding.

Intent phrases​

The bot also understands free-text queries without a URL. Supported intent categories and example phrases:

Positions

  • my positions
  • what do I hold
  • 我现在持仓

Balance

  • my balance
  • how much USDC do I have
  • 余额

Open orders

  • open orders
  • pending orders
  • 未成交订单

Market search

  • bitcoin markets
  • US election 2025
  • BTC 5m price markets

Language is detected per message. English, Chinese, Korean, and Spanish are all supported.

When to use natural language vs. commands​

Use natural language for quick account queries, market search, and URL-based trades.

Use commands or menus when a specific venue flow requires it (Predict.fun, Memecoins), when the bot asks for an explicit choice, or when a flow depends on state the bot shouldn't infer.

Natural language depth varies by venue. If the bot routes you to a menu or web, that flow is intentionally explicit.
