It parses the index into a market regime, then stops the Gainium bot during extreme fear, starts it during extreme greed, or sends a neutral no-change notification otherwise. Telegram alerts are sent for successful branch outcomes and for fetch, bot-action, or workflow-level failures.\n\n### Setup steps\n\n- Configure the schedule trigger timezone and confirm the daily 08:00 run time is appropriate.\n- Set the Gainium bot_id, bot_type, and paper_trading values in the Config node for the target bot.\n- Add valid Gainium credentials to the Gainium nodes and verify the bot start/stop operations match the intended account and environment.\n- Add Telegram credentials and set telegram_chat_id so all notification and alert nodes can send messages.\n- Ensure outbound HTTP access is allowed to https://api.alternative.me/fng/.\n\n### Customization\n\nAdjust the fear/greed threshold logic in the Classify Regime code node, change the schedule frequency, or modify the Telegram message text to include additional bot or index details."
