One Signal, Many Accounts
When you assign one channel to several accounts, a single signal from that channel becomes several trades — one on each account. TTMT calls this broadcast, and the important part is that each account's trade is completely independent: its own entry, its own stop, its own profit and loss. This page explains how broadcast works, the difference between mirroring and letting accounts diverge, and the one place where mirroring everything is a mistake.
What broadcast means
Assign a channel to N active accounts and TTMT routes every signal from that channel to all of them. One Telegram message becomes N trades — one per active assignment.
Each of those trades is its own thing:
- A separate fill, at whatever price each broker gives.
- Its own profit and loss.
- Its own Risk Limit.
- Its own position that you can manage independently.
TTMT routes the signal to every account you've assigned the channel to. There's no "primary" account — each one gets a full, standalone copy of the trade.
Only active assignments receive the broadcast
Every channel-account pairing is either active or paused. The broadcast goes to active assignments only — paused ones are skipped. When a signal is skipped on a paused account, TTMT records that it was paused there, so it's visible in your history rather than silently dropped.
This is why you can keep a channel assigned to your live account but paused: it sits ready, broadcasting nothing, until you switch it back to active with one click. You set each account's active/paused status in Channel settings, and you can pause or resume accounts independently from Multi-account management.
Paused assignments are your staging area
Keep a channel assigned but paused on an account to broadcast to it later with one click — no re-assigning, no re-configuring.
Mirror vs divergence
There are two ways to run the same channel across accounts, and the choice is yours:
- Mirror — every account uses the same config profile, so the trade is as close to identical everywhere as the brokers allow. Good for comparing demo vs live execution, or running one proven strategy across several similar accounts.
- Divergence — each account uses its own default profile, so the same signal trades conservatively on one account and normally on another. Good when accounts differ in size, risk tolerance, or rules.
One thing to be clear about: even when you mirror, fills, slippage, and spreads differ from broker to broker. Two accounts on two brokers will not show identical profit and loss. Mirroring controls your settings — it does not control the market.
"Mirror" means same settings, not same result
Fills, spreads, and slippage differ per broker. Mirrored accounts still show different profit and loss. If you're comparing, compare the settings and execution behavior, not the exact numbers.
Why each account's trade is independent
Because every account's trade is isolated:
- A position you close on the live account stays open on the prop account.
- A Risk Limit halt on one account doesn't stop the others.
- Deleting a trade from one account's history doesn't touch another account's.
This isolation is deliberate. It's what makes per-account strategies possible — you can run the same channel everywhere while each account keeps its own behavior, history, and protection.
When NOT to mirror: prop firms
Prop-firm accounts carry their own daily-loss and total-drawdown rules that personal accounts don't. Mirroring your full live channel set onto a prop account means a bad day that's merely unpleasant on your live account can breach the prop firm and end the challenge.
The right pattern for a prop account:
- Assign only vetted, low-drawdown channels to it.
- Give it its own conservative profile.
- Set its Risk Limit below the firm's daily-loss rule, so TTMT halts the account before the firm does.
Don't mirror your full channel set onto a prop account
Prop rules differ from personal accounts, and an everyday loss on live can breach a prop firm. Assign vetted channels only, give the prop account a conservative profile, and set its Risk Limit under the firm's rule. See Prop-firm setup and Risk Limits halt.
Watching broadcast on the dashboard
The account switcher's All view aggregates trades across every account. Switch to a single account's pill and you see just that account's copy of the broadcast trade. The Trade Log and Live View filter the same way, so you can look at one broadcast across all accounts or zoom into one account at a time.
Ideal Settings & Trading Strategy
Scenario 1 — Mirror demo + live for calibration (capital preservation, learning)
- Setup: Trader validating execution quality, running one or two channels on Demo plus a small Live account with the same profile.
- Settings: Both accounts get the identical default profile (for example 4×3 = 12 orders, Progressive TP, small lot). Both assignments active. Risk Limits on for both, with the Live threshold set to a one-day loss you can absorb.
- Why: Mirroring isolates the one real difference — live broker execution — so you learn exactly how much fills and spread cost you on live versus the demo's optimistic numbers, before you scale up.
- Watch for: Concluding a channel is bad when it's really just live spread. Compare TP-hit timing, not only the profit-and-loss figure.
- Switch when: You're calibrated and ready to scale or differentiate accounts → Scenario 2.
Scenario 2 — Diverge by account size (balanced)
- Setup: Profitable trader broadcasting proven channels to a main Live account and a smaller satellite, each sized differently.
- Settings: Main Live runs a standard-lot profile with a moderate Risk Limit; the satellite runs a small-lot per-account profile with a tighter Risk Limit. The same channels are assigned active to both — the per-account profiles create the divergence automatically.
- Why: One assignment decision broadcasts every signal to both accounts, but each trades proportionate to its own size and risk. No duplicate channel management.
- Watch for: Drift between the two profiles over time. Review the per-account defaults periodically so they stay in proportion.
- Switch when: You add a funded challenge → Scenario 3.
Scenario 3 — Prop firm: deliberately NOT mirroring (rule-bound)
- Setup: Trader with a Live account plus a funded Prop Firm account, broadcasting selectively.
- Settings: Live runs the full vetted channel set on a normal profile and a normal Risk Limit. The Prop account has only low-drawdown channels active, on a conservative per-account profile (smaller lot, earlier TP), with a Risk Limit set below the firm's daily-loss rule. New or unproven channels stay paused on the prop assignment — staged, not broadcasting.
- Why: Broadcast still fires every signal on every active account, so the protection has to come from which channels are active on the prop account and how tightly it's limited — not from hoping the prop account behaves differently on its own. A tighter Risk Limit halts the prop account before the firm does.
- Watch for: Accidentally leaving a high-drawdown channel active on the prop assignment after testing it. Audit the prop account's active channels before each challenge phase.
- Switch when: You pass, or the firm changes its rules → re-tune the prop account's active channel set and Risk Limit threshold.
