PL Trading Bot documentation
Everything the Trading Bot does — installation, every built-in market feed, the Premium add-ons, the single slash command, and the web dashboard. The free tier includes the full set of built-in feeds; Premium adds custom feeds and branding.
Getting started
1 · Add the bot
On the Trading Bot page, click Install Free Bot and authorize it onto your server. The Trading Bot only needs permission to view channels, send messages, embed links, attach files and manage channels (so it can create your feed channels). It has no moderation powers — it can’t kick or ban. It’s free to run; Premium unlocks custom feeds and branding.
As soon as the bot joins, it posts a setup & config panel in a private #start-here channel (visible only to admins), and registers your server in your member dashboard (sign in with Discord to manage it from the web).
2 · Set up your feeds
You don’t need to create any channels yourself. The setup panel has one button per content category — Stock Titan News, Market News, General News, SEC Filings and Stock Voices. Click a category and the bot creates that category’s channels automatically and starts posting.
Set up only the categories you want — each one is independent, and you can add more at any time. If the panel didn’t appear (or you reinstalled), run /pl-setup at any time and the bot re-posts it in #start-here.
3 · Permissions
The #start-here config channel is created admin-only by default, so members can’t see the setup panel, and the /pl-setup command is limited to server managers. The bot posts feed content only to the channels it creates for you.
Built-in feeds · free on every install
Assign each feed to a channel from the setup panel and it runs on its own. All of the below are included at no cost.

Premium features
Managed from your web dashboard once you upgrade. See pricing.
Custom Footer
PremiumReplace the default footer text on the bot’s embed feed cards with your own (up to 40 characters) — e.g. your server name or brand.
Custom RSS Feeds
PremiumAdd up to 10 of your own RSS / Atom feeds. Any public feed works — the bot validates it and delivers headline + link posts to a channel you choose.
Custom YouTube Feeds
PremiumAdd up to 5 YouTube channels. Paste a channel and the bot posts a notification whenever it uploads a new video.
Ping Roles
PremiumAttach a role ping under each feature’s posts, per-feature or applied in bulk across a category — so the right members are notified for the feeds they care about.
AI-Interpreted Form 4 Cards
PremiumA plain-language card for every Form 4 insider filing — company, insider, action, price and holdings after — with an AI-generated read on what it means.
Commands
The Trading Bot is almost entirely panel- and dashboard-driven. It registers a single slash command:
| Command | What it does | Who can run it |
|---|---|---|
/pl-setup | Re-posts the setup & config panel in #start-here — safe to run any time | Server managers |
Web dashboard Premium
Manage the Trading Bot from dashboard.paul-laurent-trading.com — sign in with the Discord account that owns your server. The dashboard is a Premium feature; it has four sections:
| Section | What you manage there |
|---|---|
| Overview | At-a-glance status of your footer, feeds and ping roles, a short “how it works” note, and a Refresh lists button to pull in newly-created channels/roles |
| Footer | Set or clear your custom embed footer |
| Feeds | Add or remove your custom RSS and YouTube feeds |
| Ping roles | Assign a ping role under each feature’s posts — individually or in bulk per category |
Saved changes reach the bot on its next cycle — allow up to ~15 minutes to go live.
