Multi-Account Management

Many traders run more than one MetaTrader account. You might have a Demo for testing, a Live for real trading, and a Prop Firm account for funded challenges. TTMT supports all of these simultaneously, with independent channel routing and per-assignment control.

Why Multiple Accounts?

Here are the most common multi-account setups:

Setup	Accounts	Purpose
Test & Trade	Demo + Live	Test new channels on Demo before committing real capital
Risk Segmentation	Live (Conservative) + Live (Aggressive)	Separate risk profiles for different strategies
Prop Challenge	Demo + Prop Firm	Track your funded account alongside a practice account
Full Stack	Demo + Live + Prop Firm	Complete coverage across all trading activities

Adding Accounts

After connecting your first account during onboarding, you can add more from the Accounts page:

1. Go to /dashboard/accounts
2. Click Add Account
3. Follow the same setup flow as your first account (broker selection, credentials, type)

Each account gets its own secure credentials, independent connection, and separate health monitoring. There is no limit on the number of accounts you can connect (subject to your subscription tier).

Channel-Account Assignments

The core of multi-account management is the channel-account assignment. This is the explicit link between a signal channel and a MetaTrader account.

How Assignments Work

When you follow a channel, TTMT creates a default assignment to your primary account. With multiple accounts, you can:

• Add assignments -- Route a channel's signals to additional accounts
• Remove assignments -- Stop a specific account from trading a channel
• Pause/resume assignments -- Independently control each channel-account pair

In this example:

• Gold Signals VIP sends trades to both Demo and Live
• Forex Daily sends trades to Live and Prop Firm
• Crypto Scalper only trades on Demo (still testing)

Managing Assignments

Configure assignments in the Channel Settings dialog under the General tab:

1. Open Channel Settings for the target channel
2. In the Account Assignment section, add or remove accounts
3. Each assignment is created as Active by default

Independent Pause/Resume

Each channel-account assignment can be paused and resumed independently. This is the foundation of TTMT's assignment-only model.

Practical Examples

Testing a new channel:

1. Follow the channel and assign it to your Demo account (active)
2. Also assign it to your Live account, but pause the Live assignment
3. Monitor Demo performance for a few weeks
4. If results are good, resume the Live assignment

Pausing for news events:

1. Pause all Live account assignments before high-impact news
2. Keep Demo assignments active to observe how channels handle the event
3. Resume Live assignments after the event passes

Account-specific maintenance:

1. Pause all assignments for a specific account if it needs attention (margin call, password change)
2. Other accounts continue trading normally, unaffected

Granular Control

You can pause a single channel on one account while it remains active on another. For example, pause "Gold Signals" on Live (because gold is too volatile today) while keeping it running on Demo and your Prop Firm account.

Routing Strategies

Conservative Ramp-Up

The safest approach for new channels:

1. Week 1-2: Demo only -- Verify signal quality and parsing accuracy
2. Week 3-4: Demo + Live (small lots via Config Profile) -- Test with minimal real capital
3. Month 2+: Live (standard lots) -- Full deployment after validation

Mirror Trading

Run the same channels on Demo and Live to compare theoretical vs. real execution:

• Differences in fills, slippage, and timing between Demo and Live provide valuable insight
• Helps calibrate expectations before scaling up lot sizes

Risk Isolation

Route high-risk channels to accounts with limited capital:

• Aggressive scalper channels on a separate Live account with small balance
• Conservative swing channels on your main Live account
• Crypto channels on a dedicated account (different risk profile than forex)

Account Context Bar

The AccountContextBar in the dashboard header lets you quickly switch between accounts:

• Dropdown selector shows all connected accounts
• Each account displays its type badge (Demo/Live/Prop)
• Switching context updates the dashboard to show data for the selected account
• The Live View, Trade Log, and Performance pages all filter by the selected account

What Stays Independent

Each MetaTrader account maintains full independence:

Feature	Scope
Balance & Equity	Per account
Connection Health	Per account (independent connections)
Open Positions	Per account
Automatic Safety Pause	Per account (one account's failures do not affect others)
Trade History	Per account
Channel Assignments	Per account-channel pair

What is Shared

Some elements are shared across all accounts:

Feature	Scope
Channel Library	Global (same channels available to all accounts)
Account Settings	Per account (but you configure each separately)
Config Profiles	User-level (profiles can be assigned to any channel-account combo)
Telegram Connection	Single connection (one Telegram account monitors channels for all MT accounts)
