Channel Management

Your "Channels" page is your personal trading floor. This is where you organize which signals you follow and how they are treated.

How the Channel Library Works

TTMT uses a curated library system to ensure you only see high-quality, verified signal channels. Here's how channels become available to you:

The Channel Discovery Flow

Step-by-Step Process

1. Telegram Authentication: When you connect your Telegram account, TTMT automatically scans all channels and groups you're a member of.

2. Library Population: Discovered channels are added to TTMT's central library for review. They start as "not enabled" and are invisible to users.

3. Admin Curation: The TTMT team reviews new channels and enables ones suitable for signal trading. This ensures quality control.

4. User Visibility: You can only see and follow channels that are:

   • Enabled in the library (admin-approved)
   • AND you are a Telegram member of that channel

Why This Approach?

This curated system protects you from accidentally enabling random Telegram groups that aren't signal channels. Only verified signal providers appear in your available channels list.

Browsing Available Channels

Navigate to Dashboard → Channels to see your channel options:

Channel Categories

Section	Description
Enabled	Channels you're currently following and receiving signals from
Available	Channels you can follow (you're a member AND they're library-enabled)
Join to Access	Library channels you're not a Telegram member of yet

Channel Information

Each channel card displays:

• Channel name and description
• Typical symbols traded (e.g., Gold, EURUSD, GBPUSD)
• Follower count and aggregate win rate
• Verified and Recommended badges

Following a Channel

Click the Follow button on any available channel. TTMT will:

1. Subscribe you to the channel's signal feed.
2. Apply all pre-configured settings:
   • TP Distribution: Progressive, Balanced, or Extended
   • Signal Behavior: Auto Detect, Immediate, or Two-Phase
   • Default Symbol: For single-asset channels (e.g., Gold-only)
3. Mark the channel with a Library badge.

One-Click Setup

No manual configuration needed! Library channels come with settings optimized for that signal provider's trading style.

What You'll See

• If you're a member of an enabled channel: It appears in "Available" for you to follow
• If you're NOT a member: It appears in "Join to Access" with a link to join
• If a channel isn't enabled: You won't see it at all (even if you're a Telegram member)

Library Badges

After following channels, you'll see badges indicating the settings status:

Badge	Meaning
Library	Using platform-configured default settings
Custom	You've modified one or more settings
Verified	Channel verified by the TTMT team
Recommended	Featured/top-performing channel

Settings Inheritance

Library channels use a settings inheritance system that gives you flexibility while maintaining optimized defaults.

How It Works

1. Follow from Library: Channel starts with "Library" defaults.
2. Customize (Optional): Modify any setting via the channel settings panel.
3. Badge Updates: Changes to "Custom" when you modify settings.
4. Reset Anytime: One-click reset restores original library defaults.

Customizing Channel Settings

1. Click the Gear Icon on any channel card.
2. The settings panel opens, showing:
   • Current settings status (Library Defaults or Custom)
   • All configurable options
3. Modify settings as needed:
   • TP Distribution: How volume is spread across Take Profits
   • Default Symbol: Fallback when signals don't specify one
   • Signal Behavior: How signals are processed (see below)
4. Click Save Changes.

Settings Status

The panel shows whether you're using "Library Defaults" or "Custom Settings" so you always know the state of your configuration.

Resetting to Library Defaults

If you've customized a library channel and want to restore the original settings:

1. Open the channel settings panel.
2. Click Reset to Defaults.
3. All settings revert to the library configuration.
4. Badge changes back to Library.

Signal Behavior Options

Mode	Description	Use Case
Auto Detect	TTMT automatically determines signal type	Most channels
Immediate	Execute signals instantly	Fast-moving/scalping channels
Two-Phase	Wait for confirmation before executing	Channels that send "Pending" then "Activate"

For Two-Phase mode, you can also configure:

• Action on Initial: Execute immediately or wait for followup
• Followup Timeout: Time window to wait for confirmation (default: 30 minutes)

Requesting New Channels

If you want to follow a Telegram channel that's not in the library:

1. Join the channel on Telegram if you haven't already.
2. Re-authenticate your Telegram in TTMT Settings → Telegram.
3. Wait for admin review — new channels are automatically discovered and queued for review.

Channel Requests

The TTMT team regularly reviews newly discovered channels and enables ones suitable for signal trading. If you have a specific channel request, contact support.

Channel Actions

Pausing & Resuming

Need to stop trading from a specific channel temporarily?

• Pause: Toggle the switch to OFF (Grey).
  • Effect: New signals are parsed and logged but NOT executed.
  • Existing Trades: Trades already open from this channel remain active and managed.
• Resume: Toggle the switch to ON (Green).
  • Effect: New signals will start executing immediately.

Removing Channels

If you no longer want to follow a channel:

1. Click the Three Dots icon on the channel card.
2. Select Remove Channel.
   • Effect: The channel is removed from your dashboard.
   • Note: Any open trades from this channel will continue to be managed until closed, but no new signals will be processed.

Additional Settings

Symbol Mapping

When signals from a channel use different symbol names than your broker (e.g., channel says "GOLD" but broker uses "XAUUSD.pro"), you'll need to create symbol mappings. See the Symbol Mapping guide for details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why don't I see a channel I'm a member of?

The channel may not be enabled in the TTMT library yet. Channels must be reviewed and enabled by the TTMT team before they appear. If you recently joined the channel, try re-authenticating your Telegram to trigger a re-scan.

Can I add any Telegram channel?

No. TTMT uses a curated library system where only admin-approved channels are available. This ensures you only see legitimate signal providers, not random Telegram groups.

What happens to channels I was following that get removed from the library?

Your existing trades will continue to be managed, but no new signals will be processed. The channel will no longer appear in your dashboard.

How do I request a channel be added?

Join the channel on Telegram, re-authenticate in TTMT, and the channel will be automatically discovered. Contact TTMT support if you want to expedite the review process.
