Discovering Channels
Finding the right signal providers is one of the most important decisions you will make as a TTMT user. The Channel Explore page gives you the tools to browse, search, and evaluate channels before committing.
Channel Explore Page
The Explore page is available at two locations depending on your authentication status:
| Access Level | URL | Features |
|---|---|---|
| Public | /explore | Browse channels, view basic stats, Sign-up prompt |
| Signed In | /dashboard/channels/explore | Full stats, follow directly, community analytics |
Both views share the same channel catalog, but authenticated users get richer data and the ability to follow channels directly.
Browsing Channels
The Explore page presents channels as cards with key information at a glance:
- Channel name and avatar
- Quality badges (Verified, Recommended, Two-Phase)
- Signal pattern classification
- Asset focus (Forex, Gold, Indices, Crypto, etc.)
- Community metrics (signal volume, win rate, average P&L)
Search
Use the search bar to find channels by name. Search is instant and filters results as you type.
Filtering
Filter the channel list by asset class to narrow down channels that match your trading interests:
- Forex
- Metals (Gold, Silver)
- Indices
- Crypto
- Commodities
- Mixed (channels that cover multiple asset classes)
Sorting
Sort channels to surface the most relevant results:
- Performance -- Highest community win rate first
- Popularity -- Most followed channels first
- Signal Volume -- Most active channels first
- Newest -- Recently added channels first
Start with Recommended
If you are new to TTMT, sorting by performance and looking for the Recommended badge is a great way to start. These channels have been vetted by both the TTMT team and the community.
Channel Explore Detail
Click on any channel card to open its Explore Detail page at /dashboard/channels/explore/[slug]. This page provides a deep dive into the channel's characteristics and community performance.
Aggregate Analytics
The detail page displays community-wide analytics for the channel:
- Total Signals -- How many signals the channel has sent (across all TTMT users)
- Win Rate -- Community average percentage of profitable trades
- Average P&L -- Mean profit/loss per trade across the community
- Signal Frequency -- How often the channel posts signals (daily/weekly average)
Channel Information
- Signal pattern -- Complete signals, alert-then-details, or alerts only
- Typical asset classes -- What instruments the channel usually covers
- Quality badges with explanations
Follow Action
From the detail page, authenticated users can click Follow to add the channel to their Channel Hub. This takes you directly to the channel configuration flow.
Telegram Membership Required
To receive signals from a channel, you must also be a member of that Telegram channel. TTMT monitors channels through your connected Telegram account, so it can only see messages from channels you have actually joined in Telegram.
Public Explore vs. Authenticated Explore
The public Explore page at /explore serves as a discovery tool for potential users. It shows the same channel catalog but with limited data:
- Basic channel information and badges
- Simplified performance indicators
- Sign up CTA instead of a Follow button
When a visitor who is not signed in clicks on a channel, they see the public detail page at /explore/[slug] with a call-to-action to create a TTMT account.
If you are signed in and visit the public Explore page, you will be automatically taken to the full dashboard version.
