Explore Channels
Explore is the community channel directory. Instead of a single dollar figure that means nothing without context, each channel shows how many of its traders are actually in profit — and lets you compare that across live accounts, demo accounts, or both. When you find a channel worth trying, one click enables it for your active account.
Browsing the directory
The directory is a grid of channel cards. Each card carries the channel's name, a track-record badge, its headline relative metrics, and the Traders-in-Profit card. You can:
- Search by channel name
- Filter by quality, and by whether the channel has live-account data ("Has live data")
- Sort by metrics including Highest Trader Win Rate
A featured row at the top highlights standout channels.
INFO
Explore appears when your account has it enabled. If it's hidden, the link lands you on your Channels page instead.
The Traders-in-Profit metric (and why no dollar P&L)
Each card shows "X of Y in profit (90d)" — of the traders who ran this channel over the last 90 days, how many ended up net positive. This leads instead of an average dollar P&L for one reason: a dollar figure depends entirely on someone else's lot size and account balance, so it tells you nothing about whether the channel actually works for real people.
A few things to understand about the metric:
- The privacy gate. If fewer than 3 traders ran the channel in the mode you're viewing, the metric is hidden and the card reads "Building track record". Small cohorts could expose an individual's results, so they're withheld until at least three traders are in the sample.
- The colour. The card greens up as more of the cohort is in profit — a stronger green means a higher in-profit ratio.
- It's a signal, not a promise. A strong ratio means the channel has worked for others recently. It does not guarantee it will work for you.
INFO
"8 of 14 in profit (90d)" counts traders, not dollars. It tells you whether real people running this channel ended up positive — a far better signal than an average P&L that depends on someone else's lot size.
WARNING
Past performance is a signal, not a guarantee. A strong Traders-in-Profit ratio means the channel has worked for others recently — it does not promise it will work for you. Test it on a demo account first.
Comparing modes (Combined / Live / Demo)
A toggle switches every card's metric between three modes:
- Live — real-money accounts only
- Demo — practice accounts only
- Combined — both together
Your mode choice is preserved when you click into a channel, so the grid and the detail page always agree. This matters because demo results carry no slippage and no emotion; live numbers are the truer test.
A channel showing "9 of 12 in profit (90d)" on Combined can read "2 of 4 in profit" on Live — telling you most of its track record is demo, so you treat the headline cautiously.
TIP
Always check the Live mode before trusting a channel. A channel that shines on demo but has few or unprofitable live traders hasn't proven itself under real spreads and slippage.
The channel detail page
Opening a channel shows a stat hero — Traders in Profit, Win Rate, and Profit Factor for the active mode — followed by the three-mode comparator chips so you can read Live, Demo, and Combined side by side. Below that sits the fuller metric grid: Win Rate, Profit Factor, Avg R:R, Max Drawdown, signal frequency, and profitable months.
Modes with too little data show "—" rather than disappearing, so you can see the mode exists but lacks numbers yet.
Your own results on a channel
If you've already enabled the channel, the detail page shows your personal 90-day performance on it — your P&L, your trade count, and your win rate. When there's enough data, it adds a neutral one-line comparison to the channel's median trader, such as "Below the channel's median trader (€120)".
For example, after a month on a channel you might see "−€40 over 14 trades, below the channel's median trader (€120)" — a sign you're underperforming the typical trader on it, which often points to a settings issue worth reviewing. This block is visible only to you, signed in.
Enabling a channel
When a channel looks worth trying, the Enable button connects it to your active account so its signals start flowing. Enabling routes the channel to whichever account is active — see Following Channels for managing the channels you've enabled, and Multi-Account for how per-account routing works.
Public vs in-dashboard Explore
The same directory exists publicly on the marketing site, at telegramtometatrader.com/explore, for people who aren't signed in. It shows the same Traders-in-Profit metric and the same mode comparison, but it blurs detailed charts and hides the personal-results block until you sign in. The in-dashboard version here — at app.telegramtometatrader.com — adds your personal results and the one-click Enable.
