Profile Sharing
Once you've tuned a profile that works, you can hand it to another trader — or to your future self on a new account — as a single import link. The link carries a complete, self-contained copy of the profile: every setting is filled in with your actual values before it's shared, so it behaves identically no matter whose account imports it. Your accounts, your channel assignments, and your identity stay private.
Sharing a profile
From the profile — its card or the editor — open Share. The Share Trading Profile dialog generates a one-click import link you copy and send (Telegram, email, anywhere). The link looks like:
https://app.telegramtometatrader.com/dashboard/settings/profiles/import/ABCDEFGHThe trailing 8-character code is the profile. Anyone with the link can import a copy — but nothing else of yours travels with it.
TIP
Finish your account setup before sharing. If your global settings are incomplete, the link fills the blanks with platform defaults instead of your intended values.
What gets shared (and what doesn't)
Shared: all 45 settings, fully filled in. Every setting you left inherited (blank) is replaced with your own account's current value before the link is created, so the recipient gets exactly the behaviour you intended.
Not shared: your trading accounts, your channel assignments, and your name or identity. The profile's name travels along only as a label the recipient can change.
INFO
The share link contains only the profile's settings — fully filled in. It does not include your trading accounts, your channel assignments, or your identity. The recipient gets a copy they own and can change freely.
Why inherited settings are filled in before sharing
In your account, a blank setting means "use my account default." If that blank crossed to someone else unchanged, their default would fill it — and the profile would quietly behave differently for them. So before the link is made, every blank is replaced with your real value. The profile is locked to the behaviour you actually tested.
Concrete example: your default stop loss is 60 pips and you share a profile that left the default SL inherited. A friend whose account default is 20 pips imports it. Because the setting was resolved to your 60-pip value before sharing, they get your intended wider stop — not a silent tightening to their 20. Without this step, the same profile would behave differently for every recipient.
Importing a profile
Open a share link while logged in. You land on the Import Trading Profile page, which shows the source profile's name, colour, icon, and the 8-character code. Before importing you can:
- Rename it — it defaults to "<name> (Imported)" — and change its colour, icon, and description.
- Review every setting. The page shows "X of 45 settings differ from your account defaults" and lets you adjust any of them, using the same inherit/override controls as the editor.
- See where it goes. The page shows "Importing to account: <name>" — your active account.
Click Import Profile. On success you get a confirmation and a "Review Profile Settings" button into the editor. The profile is now yours, like any other.
TIP
Review the "X of 45 differ from your defaults" summary before importing — it's the fastest way to see what this profile actually changes versus your normal setup.
Example: you import a friend's "Gold Sniper" profile. It lands as "Gold Sniper (Imported)", and you rename it to "Gold – from Alex" before saving so you can tell your profiles apart.
Adjustments and warnings on import
The import page surfaces two guard rails before anything reaches your trading.
Adjusted-values banner. If the shared profile has a value below your platform's current minimum — say a pip distance under the allowed floor — it's clamped up, and the page lists each change as "original → adjusted". Dismiss the banner once you've reviewed it. For example, a shared profile sets BE Buffer to a value the platform no longer allows; on import the banner shows "BE Buffer: 0 → 1 pips" so you know it was nudged up before saving.
Can't-import block. The same cross-field validation that runs in the editor runs on import. If the resolved settings are inconsistent, a red banner lists what to fix and the Import Profile button stays disabled until you resolve it. For example, a shared profile has Default TP1 = 150 and Default TP2 = 120; the page blocks with "Take Profit values must be in ascending order" and won't import until you fix one of them.
WARNING
If you see the validation banner, the profile can't be imported until the listed conflicts are resolved. This is deliberate — it stops a self-contradicting profile from ever reaching live trading.
After importing
An imported profile starts out unassigned. Assign it like any profile — see Applying Profiles. Customise it freely; your edits never affect the sharer's original, and theirs never affect your copy.
When a link doesn't work
If the link is invalid or expired, the import page shows "Profile Not Found — ask the sender for a new link." If you're not logged in, you're prompted to log in first and then returned to the import page.
