How can I have my telegramBot send automatically messages in a group?

def handle_event(event):
    #print(event)
    global amount0In
    global amount1Out
    global amount1In
    global amount0Out
    amount0In = event['args']['amount0In']
    amount1Out = event['args']['amount1Out']
    amount1In = event['args']['amount1In']
    amount0Out = event['args']['amount0Out']
    if amount0In and amount1Out != 0:
        print(f"Token Sold {amount0In /10**18}, and eth {amount1Out/10**18}")
        buy()
    else:
        print(f"Token Bought {amount0Out /10**18}, and eth {amount1In/10**18}")
        sell()

    
def buy(update,context):
            buyMessage = f"Buy!!!!\n: {amount1In/10**18}\nToken Bought: {amount0Out /10**18} \n"
            update.message.reply_text(buyMessage)       

def sell(update, context):
            sellMessage = f"Sell!!!!\n: {amount1In/10**18}\nToken Sold: {amount0Out /10**18} \n"
            update.message.reply_text(sellMessage)

In case the IF statement is met I want to send a message to a telgram group, however I cant execute the update message this way, because I keep getting this error: TypeError: buy() missing 2 required positional arguments: 'update' and 'context'

How can I fix this?

To send a message, all you need is an instance of telegram.Bot. Please have a look at the introduction to the API for more details. The functions buy and sell look like callback functions for handler. Since you are apparently not using python-telegram-bots handler setup to handle the event, there is no sense in defining those functions to accept the update and context arguments.
