# FAQ

### Do I need to connect a wallet?

No. There's nothing to connect. The bot and the analyzer read public data and give you a verdict — no wallet, no account, no signature.

### Do I have to type `/don` every time?

Not in a private chat. Paste a contract address or a ticker on its own and it analyses it. In groups the command is required, otherwise the bot would have to answer every message in the chat.

### Is the Telegram score the same as the browser score?

Yes, and not approximately. The two surfaces are checked against each other automatically before any change to the analysis is allowed to ship — the score has to match exactly. If they ever drift, the change doesn't merge.

### Why does this token score 50 with no signals?

Because 50 is *no opinion*, not *bad*. The score normalises "everything neutral" to the midpoint. A token with too little history for most signals lands near the middle by construction, and that's the honest answer.

### Why does the score not match my TradingView?

Most likely the launch candles. For young tokens the analysis drops the opening stretch of trading before measuring anything, because launch price action poisons every level downstream. Your chart still has it.

Also: this is a composite of many signals weighted by token age. Any single indicator will disagree with it regularly — that's the point of a composite.

### It says "no short-term setup". Is it broken?

No, that's a deliberate message. When recent support and resistance sit within a couple of percent of each other, any tradable zone around them crosses and you'd get "buy up to $X, sell below $X" — a plan that can't be executed. Rather than render nonsense or render nothing, the card says there's no short-term trade here. The long-term plan is usually still valid. [Details](/how-the-analysis-works/zones.md#when-there-is-no-short-term-trade).

### Why is my token showing "−94% from ATH" when it launched yesterday?

Check whether the card flagged a launch spike. If the all-time high was set in the first hours and never revisited, every "% below ATH" number is measuring against a candle that existed for ten minutes. The card marks this; the chart refuses to call a window high an ATH at all.

### Why can't it find my token?

Three possible reasons: there's no discoverable trading pair for it (the most common), the pool has no chart history yet, or it's on a chain that isn't active. [Supported chains](/getting-started/chains.md).

### Why are holder analysis and social sentiment behind buttons?

Because they cost real money per run — a full holder scan is orders of magnitude more work than reading a chart. Running them on every `/don` would exhaust the budget everyone's scans depend on. On demand, cached, rate limited.

### The holder panel doesn't appear in the browser

Either it's switched off, or the page couldn't confirm it's available. The panel fails closed by design: no confirmation means no panel, because a button that produces an error is worse than a missing one.

### I got rate limited

Defaults are 3 scans a minute and 20 an hour per person, plus per-group ceilings. The limits exist so one person holding down `/don` can't degrade the service for everyone. Group chats have their own windows; DMs are exempt from those, so you can keep scanning privately.

### Does the bot need to be an admin in my group?

Only for auto-scan. Under Telegram's privacy mode a bot that isn't an admin never receives ordinary group messages, so it cannot see a pasted contract address — that's a Telegram rule, not a permission grab. Every command, including `/don`, works fine without admin.

### Someone pasted a contract and nothing happened

Most likely the token is too new to analyse and 🆕 **Fresh launches** is off, which is the default. Turn it on in `/setup`, or use `/don`, which always answers. Failing that: the bot isn't an admin, auto-scan is off, or the group is rate limited. [More](/in-your-group/groups.md#when-auto-scan-stays-quiet).

### `/pnl` or `/lb` did nothing

An admin has switched that feature off for the group. It stays silent rather than explaining itself, because the explanation would be exactly the bot output the admin declined. Reopen `/setup` to turn it back on.

### Who gets credit for a call?

Whoever ran the first `/don` on that token in that group. Later scans never overwrite it, so credit belongs to whoever actually called it — not whoever scanned it most recently. [PNL cards](/in-your-group/pnl-cards.md) · [Leaderboard](/in-your-group/leaderboard.md).

### Can I get the raw data out?

The Web Analyzer's bubble map has **export png** and **export csv**, which covers taking a holder set somewhere else. There's no public data API.

### Where do I report a security issue?

Privately, not in public. Contact the team directly rather than posting details anywhere they can be read by whoever else finds them useful.

### Is it financial advice?

No. [At length](/the-rest/disclaimer.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.digitaldon.net/the-rest/faq.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
