Creating Config Profiles ​

Config profiles are created from the Profiles settings page at Settings > Profiles in the TTMT dashboard. This page lists all your existing profiles and provides a button to create new ones.

Creating a New Profile ​

Click Create Profile to open the creation dialog. You will need to provide:

FieldRequiredDescription
NameYesA descriptive name for the profile (e.g., "Conservative Gold", "Scalping", "Demo Testing")
DescriptionNoOptional notes about when and why to use this profile
Base TemplateYesStart from scratch or clone an existing profile

Base Template Options ​

  • Start from scratch: All settings begin in the Inherit state (using your account defaults). You then selectively override only the settings you want to change.
  • Clone existing profile: Copies all overrides from an existing profile into the new one. Useful when you want a variation of an existing profile without modifying the original.

Naming Convention

Use names that describe the purpose, not the technical details. "Conservative Gold Channel" is better than "0.02 lots Progressive TP1 breakeven". You can always open the profile to see its settings — the name should help you quickly identify which profile to assign.

The Inherit / Override Pattern ​

This is the key concept for understanding how profile settings work. Every setting in a config profile has three possible states:

1. Inherit (Default) ​

The setting is not overridden. TTMT uses your account-level value (from Order Setup or Active Trade Setup).

In the UI, the setting appears grayed out with a label showing the inherited value from your account settings.

2. Override ​

The setting is explicitly overridden with a custom value. When a signal comes from a channel using this profile, TTMT uses this value instead of your account default.

In the UI, overridden settings are visually distinct — highlighted with an active state and showing the custom value you have set.

3. Disabled ​

The feature is explicitly turned off for channels using this profile, even if it is enabled in your account settings.

This state is available for toggle settings like auto-breakeven, trailing stop, and TP redistribution. It means "I specifically do not want this feature active for signals from this channel."

Visual Indicators

The profile editor makes the three states visually clear:

  • Inherit: Dimmed appearance, shows "Using account default: [value]"
  • Override: Full-color appearance, shows your custom value
  • Disabled: Shown as explicitly off with a clear indicator

Overridable Settings (~35 Total) ​

The profile editor organizes settings into the same sections as the account-level settings pages. Here is the complete list of what you can override:

Editing a Profile ​

Click any profile card on the Profiles page to open the full profile editor. The editor page mirrors the structure of the account-level settings pages, with every setting using the inherit/override pattern.

To override a setting:

  1. Find the setting in the appropriate section.
  2. Click the setting to switch it from Inherit to Override.
  3. Enter your custom value.
  4. The setting now appears highlighted, showing your override value.

To revert to Inherit:

  1. Click the reset icon next to the overridden setting.
  2. The setting returns to Inherit state, showing the account default.

To disable a feature:

  1. For toggle settings (breakeven, trailing, redistribution), you can set the state to Disabled.
  2. This explicitly turns the feature off for this profile, even if it is on in your account settings.

Changes are saved automatically — there is no manual save button. You will see a brief save indicator when changes are persisted.

Profile Best Practices ​

Start Minimal ​

Do not override every setting. Start with Inherit for everything, then override only the settings that need to differ from your account defaults. Fewer overrides mean easier maintenance — when you change your account settings, profiles with Inherit automatically pick up the change.

Name Descriptively ​

Use names that remind you why the profile exists:

  • "Low Risk - New Channels" instead of "Profile 1"
  • "Gold Scalping" instead of "Metals Config"
  • "Demo Testing - High Volume" instead of "Test"

Document Your Reasoning ​

Use the description field to note why you created the profile and what channels it is intended for. Your future self will thank you.

Review After Account Changes ​

When you change your account-level settings, review your profiles to ensure the inherited values still make sense. A profile that overrides lot size to 0.05 may have been created when your account default was 0.10 — if you lower the default to 0.03, the profile is now increasing risk rather than reducing it.
