Appearance

Channel Settings ​

Every channel you enable gets its own settings page. Open it from the Channel Hub by clicking a channel's Settings action, which drops you on the Execution tab — the one you'll use most. From there, seven tabs let you control how that channel's signals trade, which accounts they reach, and which symbols and hours are in play.

Opening a channel's settings ​

From the Channel Hub, the Settings action on any enabled channel opens its page at /dashboard/channels/[id]?tab=execution. Seven tabs run across the top: Overview, Signals, Execution, Symbols, SL/TP, Hours, and History.

The Symbols and SL/TP tabs stay disabled until TTMT has linked the channel to your Telegram membership — they unlock once the channel is matched. If you have more than one account, the page is scoped to the account currently selected in the account context bar at the top.

Execution is your home tab

Account routing, execution mode, and config profile all live on the Execution tab, and it's where Settings drops you. Most channel tuning happens there.

Overview tab ​

A read-only performance snapshot for this channel on the selected account: a profit-and-loss hero, a win-rate and metrics row, cumulative and daily P&L charts, a P&L calendar, a symbol breakdown, streaks, and signal frequency. This is your "is this channel working for me" view. For the deeper read, see Performance Tracking.

Signals tab ​

The live signal feed for this channel. Each message the provider posted appears here with how TTMT read it, its status (executed, rejected, skipped, or failed), and the resulting trade. Expand any signal to see the details. This is where you confirm whether a channel's messages are being acted on the way you expect.

Execution tab (the main one) ​

The control center for the channel. Its sections, in order:

Trading account / Broadcast Mode ​

(Multi-account users only.) Choose which account trades this channel. With two or more accounts, a Broadcast Mode toggle lets one channel trade several accounts at once; each selected account gets its own Running/Stopped switch you flip independently. Switching a channel from a demo to a live or prop account triggers a confirmation. This is the channel-side view — the full cross-account story lives on Account Broadcasting.

Signal Execution Mode ​

Two choices:

  • Wait for Full Signal (complete_only) — only execute a signal once it carries an entry, a stop loss, and at least one take profit.
  • Trade on First Alert (execute_on_alert) — execute the moment an alert arrives, then fold the provider's later details into the open trade.

For Trade on First Alert, the tab shows an update window (default 30 minutes — how long TTMT keeps applying the provider's follow-up SL/TP to the open trade) and a duplicate-protection window (default 5 minutes — to avoid acting twice on a repeated alert). Full guidance is on Execution Modes.

Config Profile ​

Pick a config profile to override your account settings for this channel. The tab shows a count like "7 settings customized" so you can see how far the profile diverges from your account baseline. The profile applies to the account shown. See Settings Inheritance for how the profile and your account settings combine.

Default Symbol ​

A fallback symbol for single-instrument channels that don't always name the pair in every message — for example a gold-only channel that posts "BUY NOW" without writing "XAUUSD".

Limit Order Timeout ​

How long an unfilled limit order from this channel waits before TTMT cancels it. A far limit that never fills is cancelled at the timeout instead of hanging for days.

Changes on this tab save automatically — you'll see a "Saving…" then "Saved" indicator. There's no Save button here.

Trade on First Alert needs SL/TP defaults

If you pick Trade on First Alert without setting this channel's SL/TP defaults, the Execution tab warns you and links to the SL/TP tab. Without defaults, an alert trade can reject or open with no protection — because there's nothing to fall back on when the provider's first message has no levels.

Symbols tab ​

A per-account symbol filter for this channel, scoped to the active account. Use the Allow All Symbols toggle, or build an explicit allow-list from the channel's typical and historical symbols plus any custom symbol you add. This lets you trade only a subset of what a multi-asset channel posts — for example allow only XAUUSD and EURUSD so a channel's crypto signals are ignored.

Symbols and SL/TP unlock after linking

These two tabs stay disabled until TTMT has matched the channel to your Telegram membership. Once the channel is linked, they become editable.

SL/TP tab ​

Channel-specific default stop loss and take profit pip distances — SL plus TP1 through TP6 — used only when a signal arrives without them. These defaults are required if you run the channel in Trade on First Alert mode, since an alert often has no levels of its own.

This tab has a Save button. Your edits apply when you click Save, not as you type. See Settings Inheritance for how these defaults fit the resolution model, and Execution Modes for when they're used.

SL/TP tab has a Save button

Unlike the Execution tab, which auto-saves, your SL/TP default edits only take effect when you click Save. If you navigate away without saving, the changes are lost.

Hours tab ​

A trading-hours schedule for this channel. Signals that arrive outside the windows you set are not executed. Use it to skip illiquid sessions or news-heavy hours — for example, restrict a channel to the London and New York sessions so a signal posted at 02:00 your time is skipped rather than filled into thin liquidity at a wide spread.

History tab ​

A change timeline for this channel: what setting changed, when, and the before-and-after value, plus account-assignment and auto-pause events. This is your first stop when a channel suddenly behaves differently. If trades start using a tighter stop loss, the History tab might show a config profile was attached two days ago — answering the "what changed?" question in one read.

How this channel routes to your accounts ​

A channel reaches an account only through an active assignment. Pause an assignment and that account stops trading the channel while your other accounts keep going. There's no separate channel-wide on/off switch behind the scenes — the assignments are the routing.

Reassigning to live trades real money

Moving a channel from a demo to a live or prop account makes its next signals execute with real funds. The Execution tab asks you to confirm — do it deliberately.

For the deeper multi-account story, see Account Broadcasting and Multi-Account Management.

Ideal Settings & Trading Strategy ​

Scenario 1 — Conservative: full-signal channel on a small live account ​

Setup: Cautious trader, one $5k live account, following a clean complete-signal forex channel.

Settings:

  • Execution mode: Wait for Full Signal
  • Trading account: single live account assignment, Running
  • Config profile: "Cautious" (0.01 lots, 2×2 layers, Progressive TP, breakeven at TP1) — or your account baseline if it's already conservative
  • Default symbol: none (the channel always names the pair)
  • Symbols: Allow All (the channel is forex-only)
  • SL/TP defaults: forex-major 25-pip fallback (rarely used — the provider includes levels)
  • Hours: London + New York only
  • Limit order timeout: 60 minutes

Why: Waiting for the full signal means you only trade when the provider gives entry, SL, and TP — no guessing. Session hours keep you out of thin liquidity.

Watch for: If the provider starts firing quick alerts, Wait for Full Signal skips them and you'll wonder why trades stopped — check the Signals tab for "skipped".

Switch when: You confirm the channel posts alert-then-details and you're missing good moves — consider Scenario 2.

Scenario 2 — Moderate: alert-then-details channel, speed-priority ​

Setup: Active trader, one $50k live account, following a fast channel that posts "BUY GOLD NOW" then details minutes later.

Settings:

  • Execution mode: Trade on First Alert
  • SL/TP defaults: required — metals 300-pip SL, TP1 150 / TP2 300 / TP3 500 pips, so the alert trade is protected the instant it opens
  • Config profile: "Gold Alert" (0.03 lots, single layer for fast fills, Progressive TP)
  • Update window: 30 minutes (apply the provider's later SL/TP to the open trade)
  • Duplicate-protection window: 5 minutes
  • Default symbol: XAUUSD (single-instrument channel)
  • Symbols: Allow All
  • Hours: 24h, or session-restricted to taste

Why: The alert is the move; waiting loses the entry. Channel SL/TP defaults give the trade protection immediately, and the update window folds the provider's later levels into the same trade.

Watch for: Forgetting the SL/TP defaults — the Execution tab warns you, but an alert with no defaults can run unprotected.

Switch when: The channel cleans up its format and starts posting complete signals — move back to Wait for Full Signal (Scenario 1) for tighter control.

Scenario 3 — News-disciplined gold specialist ​

Setup: Gold-focused trader who refuses to trade around high-impact news and overnight.

Settings:

  • Execution mode: Wait for Full Signal (avoid impulsive alert entries)
  • Symbols tab: allow only XAUUSD (block any stray forex or index signals the channel posts)
  • Hours tab: weekday windows only, excluding the 08:30 ET news block and the late US session
  • Config profile: "Gold Disciplined" (0.02 lots, 3×2 layers, Extended TP for trend days, breakeven at TP2)
  • SL/TP defaults: metals 350-pip SL fallback
  • Limit order timeout: 45 minutes (don't chase a zone all day)

Why: Combining a symbol filter, an hours schedule, and Wait for Full Signal turns a noisy channel into a disciplined gold-only feed that trades only when you've decided conditions are safe.

Watch for: Tight hours can skip the channel's best move if it lands just outside your window — review the History and Signals tabs to confirm you're not over-filtering.

Switch when: You want broader coverage or add a prop account — widen the symbol filter or run different settings per account (see Settings Inheritance).
