Configure which signals trigger alerts and auto-buys, and customize how each signal source trades. ARCHR offers three types of signals: hand-picked calls from Telegram call channels, paid promotion signals from DexScreener, and tracked wallet signals via copy trading.

**Access:** Main Menu → 🚀 Signal Preferences, or Settings → Signal Preferences

## Signal Categories

### 📡 Call Channel Signals
Hand-picked token calls monitored from multiple Telegram channels:

**MadApes Channels:**
- 🦍 MadApes (community) — theT1T4N's Community Lounge
- 🎲🦍 Gambles MadApes — MadApes gamble signals
- 🦍☎️ MadApes Calls — MadApes main call channel

**Other Call Channels:**
- 🪙 Crypto Gems 555
- 🎻 Maestros Degen
- 💎 Anime Gems
- 🎲 Ryoshi Gamble
- 🃏 Chigga Gambles
- 🐟 Catfish Calls
- 🏀 Kobe's Gambles
- 👑 Kween's Journal

### 📊 DexScreener Signals
Tokens where developers have paid for promotions, ranging from $99 (Small Boost) to $3,999+ (Golden Ticker).

### 📋 Copy Trading (Tracked Wallets)
Monitor Solana wallets and automatically mirror their trades. See [Copy Trading](/docs/copy-trading) for full details.

## Per-Channel Settings

Every call channel, DEX signal type, and tracked wallet can be configured independently. Tap any signal source in Signal Preferences to access its settings panel.

### What You Can Customize Per Channel

| Setting | Description | Default |
|---------|-------------|---------|
| **Alerts** | Receive Telegram notifications | ON |
| **Auto-Buy** | Automatically buy on signal | OFF |
| **Buy Amount** | Global default, fixed SOL, or % of balance | Global |
| **Exit Strategy** | Trading Plan, Basic Mode, or Manual Only | Global default |
| **Filters** | Use global filters or set custom overrides | Global |
| **ABP Override** | Bypass Auto-Buy Protection for this channel | OFF |

This means you can, for example:
- Auto-buy MadApes Calls with 0.5 SOL and a Trench Snipe plan
- Auto-buy Golden Ticker with 1 SOL and a Moonbag Runner plan
- Receive alerts only (no auto-buy) from Anime Gems
- Copy trade a wallet with custom filters that allow lower market cap tokens

### How Settings Cascade

Per-channel settings override your global defaults. If a setting is left on "Global," your main settings apply:

```
Per-Channel Setting (if configured)
  └── Falls back to → Global Default Setting
```

## Alert Settings

- Choose specific signal types to receive
- Enable/disable boost upgrade notifications (DexScreener signals only)
- You receive ALL alerts, including tokens with security warnings (see Shield Filter)
- Each call channel, DexScreener signal type, and tracked wallet can be toggled independently

## Auto-Buy Settings

- Independent auto-buy configuration per signal type
- Separate from alert preferences (you can receive alerts without auto-buying)
- Golden Ticker can bypass market cap and holder filters
- Dangerous security warnings always block auto-buy (manual "Trade Anyway" required)

### Signal auto-buy gates

Enabling **Auto-Buy** on a channel is only one step. For signal auto-buys to actually execute, all three must be ON:

1. **Global Auto-Trade** (main menu **🤖 Auto** or Settings)
2. **Per-signal auto-buy** (this screen → channel → Auto-Buy)
3. **Execution-wallet auto-buy** (Manage Wallets → wallet → Auto-Buy)

If you enable per-signal auto-buy while another gate is off, the bot warns you. Check **🤖 Auto → Diagnostics** for the full blocker list. See [Buy Options](/docs/buy-options).

## Shield Filter

The Shield Filter uses Jupiter's Shield API and has three independent sub-toggles:

- **📢 Alert Blocking**: When ON, suppresses alerts entirely for tokens with Shield warnings. When OFF (default), you receive all alerts — dangerous tokens show a "Trade Anyway" button.
- **🤖 Auto-Buy Filter**: When ON, blocks auto-buy for tokens with minor display warnings (high supply concentration, low organic activity, etc.). Dangerous tokens (honeypots, mint/freeze authority, etc.) are **always** blocked from auto-buy regardless of this setting.
- **🔓 Bypass Low Organic**: When ON, ignores "Low Organic Activity" warnings entirely — this common flag is stripped before any filter checks, so it won't suppress alerts or block auto-buys.

See [Filtering System](/docs/filtering-system) for the full list of dangerous vs minor warnings.
