Symbol Mapping

One of the most common challenges in copy trading is that Telegram channels and Brokers often speak different languages.

• Channel says: GOLD, Gold, XAUUSD, Gold Spot
• Broker uses: XAUUSD, XAUUSD.m, Gold.pro, XAUUSD_i

If the bot tries to open a trade for GOLD on a broker that only knows XAUUSD.m, the trade will fail. Symbol Mapping is the bridge that solves this.

How it Works

When a signal arrives, TTMT follows this logic:

1. Direct Match: Does the broker have a symbol with the exact same name? (e.g., EURUSD matches EURUSD).
2. Auto-Normalization (Gold Only): For gold trading, TTMT automatically maps common signal names (GOLD, GOLDSPOT, XAU, GOLD SPOT) to your broker's gold symbol (typically XAUUSD or variants like XAUUSD.pro). This happens automatically during account setup.
3. Manual Map: For all other symbols, you must create manual mappings in Settings → Symbol Mappings.

Symbol Discovery & Manual Mapping

TTMT can automatically discover symbols from your broker account. When you first connect a MetaTrader account, the system fetches all available symbols and stores them.

Creating a Manual Map

If trades are failing with "Symbol not found" errors, you likely need to create a manual map.

1. Go to Settings → Symbol Mappings in the sidebar.
2. Click "Discover Symbols from Broker" to refresh your broker's available symbols.
3. Click Add Mapping to create a new mapping.
4. Signal Symbol: Enter exactly what the channel uses (e.g., US30).
5. Broker Symbol: Select from your broker's available symbols (e.g., DJ30.mini).
6. Save.

Now, whenever a channel sends a signal for US30, TTMT will execute it as DJ30.mini on your account.

Common Mappings

Here are some standard mappings you might need, depending on your broker:

Asset	Common Channel Names	Common Broker Names	Auto-Mapped?
Gold	GOLD, XAUUSD, Gold Spot	XAUUSD, XAUUSD.m, Gold	✅ Yes
Dow Jones	US30, DJ30, Dow	US30, .US30Cash, DJI	❌ Manual
Nasdaq	NAS100, US100, Nasdaq	USTEC, US100.cash	❌ Manual
S&P 500	SPX500, US500	US500, SPX	❌ Manual
Oil	USOIL, WTI, Crude	WTI, XTIUSD, USOIL	❌ Manual

INFO

Gold Auto-Mapping: Gold is the only symbol with automatic normalization. All other symbols (indices, forex pairs, commodities) must be manually mapped in Settings → Symbol Mappings.

Pro Tip:

Always check the Signals Log if a trade fails. It will show you exactly what symbol the channel sent and what symbol TTMT tried to execute.
