This section covers the fundamental mechanics that power the TTMT trading engine. Understanding these concepts will help you configure your settings effectively and trade with confidence.
In This Section
How TTMT Reads Your Signals
How TTMT reads your channels' messages, cleans up bad prices, and decides what to trade. Covers execution modes, the kinds of signal it recognizes, and why a signal might not become a trade.
Order Execution
How TTMT spreads each signal across layered entries — you pick 1–6 layers and the engine derives how many orders each needs from your lot size and broker rules, up to 36 total — and assigns them to your take-profit levels.
Override Modes
When and how TTMT replaces a signal's entry zone, stop-loss, or take-profits with your own values — and fixed versus dynamic overrides.
How Your Entry Zone Is Decided
How TTMT combines the signal's zone with your settings to produce the price band your trade enters across, including the five possible outcomes.
Entry Zone Expansion
Catch near-miss entries by widening your zone toward your take-profits — without adding risk on the deep side.
Order Management
The deep reference for a trade's full life — volume sizing, how layers become orders, entry-zone pricing, target assignment, fills, target shifting, and how a trade ends.
TP Redistribution
How TTMT dynamically compresses Take Profit targets when deeper layers fill. Covers the proportional compression system, the Layer 1 safety-net lock (on by default, optional), how targets shift as layers fill, and detailed walkthroughs.
Breakeven Management
Automatic stop-loss protection that secures your entry once a trade becomes profitable. Covers the auto-breakeven trigger, buffer configuration, the five ways breakeven can fire, the fallback when it can't be set, and trailing-stop integration.
Limit Order Conversion
How pending limit orders are automatically converted to market orders when followup signals confirm favorable entry conditions. Covers the safety checks and practical examples.
Risk Management
Position sizing safeguards and exposure controls that protect your capital. Covers Fixed Lots sizing, per-asset SL/TP defaults, the total-volume safety ceiling, the per-trade P&L cap, advisory drawdown guidance, the concurrent kill switch, and a link to the account-only enforced daily-loss halt.
