Running this code on heroku doesn't give me what I expect
2021-09-28T20:11:36.231963+00:00 app[web.1]: Time its supposed to post forex 15:14:10 2021-09-28T20:11:36.457226+00:00 app[web.1]: running forex
But after this, it doesn't run any of the other functions, and it always posts the forex chat as soon as the /start command is done. Really, I'm looking for a way to get the /start command to run properly and to get that command to run on each reboot so I don't have to keep going back and manually doing it
Regarding your first problem: you're using run_daily wrong. As explained in the wiki article and in the documentation, the first argument needs to be a function. Instead you pass purchase_forex(update, context), which is the return value of purchase_forex, which is None. Also the function that you pass must accept exactly one argument, not two. Please make sure to read the wiki article, the documentation and probably also this example to better understand how the JobQueue works in PTB.
About scheduling the jobs without a need to call the /start command: the job queue is available as u.job_queue and as u.dispatcher.job_queue (both are the same object as context.job_queue. so you can do the scheduling right in your main.
