Following Channels
Once you have discovered signal channels that interest you, the next step is to follow them. Following a channel tells TTMT to start monitoring it for trading signals and routing them to your MetaTrader account(s).
The Channel Hub
The Channel Hub at /dashboard/channels is where you manage all your channels. It organizes everything into three distinct sections:
Active Channels
Channels that are currently monitoring signals and executing trades. These are your "live" channels -- every signal they post will be parsed and (if valid) executed on your assigned MetaTrader account(s).
Paused Channels
Channels where all account assignments are paused. TTMT still recognizes the channel, but signals are not processed. Pausing is useful when you want to temporarily stop trading a channel without unfollowing it entirely.
Available Channels
Channels from the Channel Library that you have not followed yet. These appear at the bottom of the Hub as suggestions, making it easy to expand your channel lineup without leaving the page.
Quick Hub Navigation
Use the search bar and filters at the top of the Channel Hub to quickly find specific channels across all three sections.
Following a Channel
You can follow a channel from two places:
- Channel Explore -- Click the Follow button on any channel's detail page.
- Channel Hub -- Click Follow on any channel card in the "Available" section.
When you follow a channel, TTMT automatically:
- Creates a default channel-account assignment linking the channel to your active MetaTrader account
- Sets the channel's execution mode based on its signal pattern (e.g., two-phase channels default to Execute on Alert)
- Opens the Channel Settings dialog so you can customize the configuration
First Follow Creates Assignment
When you follow a channel, TTMT creates an assignment to your default MetaTrader account. If you have multiple accounts, you can add more assignments in the channel settings.
Channel Card States
Each channel card in the Hub displays one of six visual states that instantly communicate the channel's current status:
| State | Visual Indicator | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Active | Green indicator | Monitoring and executing signals normally |
| Paused | Yellow/amber indicator | All assignments paused, no signals processed |
| Error | Red indicator | Connection issue preventing signal reception |
| Left | Gray indicator | You left this channel in Telegram |
| Available | Outlined/ghost style | Library channel you have not followed |
| Not Member | Warning indicator | Followed in TTMT but not a member in Telegram |
Card Information
Each channel card displays:
- Channel name and avatar
- Quality badges (Verified, Recommended, Two-Phase)
- Signal count and win rate
- Average profit metric
- Current state indicator
Quick Actions
Channel cards provide quick actions so you can manage channels without opening the full settings dialog:
- Pause / Resume -- Toggle all assignments for a channel between active and paused
- Settings -- Open the full Channel Settings dialog
- Unfollow -- Remove the channel from your Hub entirely
Unfollowing Removes All Assignments
Unfollowing a channel removes all channel-account assignments and stops all signal processing for that channel. Open trades from that channel are not affected -- they continue to be managed normally.
Requesting New Channels
Cannot find your signal provider in the Channel Library? You can request a new channel addition.
- Click the Request Channel button in the Channel Hub header.
- Fill in the request form with the Telegram channel name or link.
- Submit the request.
The TTMT team will review the channel, analyze its signal format, configure the AI for accurate signal reading, and add it to the library. You will be notified when the channel becomes available.
Processing Time
New channel requests typically take 1-3 business days to review and configure. Channels with clean, consistent signal formats are processed faster.
Unfollowing a Channel
To stop trading a channel entirely:
- Find the channel in your Channel Hub.
- Click the quick action menu on the channel card.
- Select Unfollow.
- Confirm the action.
Unfollowing removes the channel from your active and paused sections. It will reappear in the "Available" section if it is part of the Channel Library.
