Channels
Channels are the heartbeat of TTMT. Every trade starts with a signal, and every signal comes from a Telegram channel.
In the TTMT ecosystem, a channel is a Telegram group or broadcast channel where signal providers post trading signals. TTMT monitors these channels in real-time, parses the signals using AI, and executes trades on your MetaTrader account -- all in milliseconds.
How Channels Work
The channel workflow follows four steps:
- Discover -- Browse the Channel Library or Explore page to find signal providers that match your trading style.
- Follow -- Add channels to your Channel Hub so TTMT can monitor them.
- Configure -- Set execution modes, symbol filters, account assignments, and risk parameters per channel.
- Trade -- Sit back. TTMT parses incoming signals and executes trades automatically based on your configuration.
Signal Flow
When a signal provider posts a message in a Telegram channel you follow, here is what happens behind the scenes:
- TTMT receives the Telegram message in real-time through your connected account.
- TTMT processes the message in the order it arrived.
- TTMT's AI engine parses the message to extract the symbol, direction, entry price, stop loss, and take profit levels.
- TTMT validates the signal -- checking the stop loss, take profit levels, entry zone, and filtering out duplicate signals.
- If valid, the signal is sent to the MetaTrader account(s) you have assigned to that channel.
- The 12-order layered entry strategy executes the trade.
One Channel, Multiple Accounts
A single channel can be assigned to multiple MetaTrader accounts. For example, you might run the same signals on both a Demo and Live account. Each assignment can be configured and paused independently.
Channel Hub
The Channel Hub at /dashboard/channels is your command center for managing all your channels. It organizes channels into three clear sections:
- Active -- Channels that are monitoring signals and executing trades.
- Paused -- Channels where monitoring is paused (no signals processed).
- Available -- Channels from the library that you have not followed yet.
