Connecting Telegram

To receive signals, TTMT needs to "listen" to the channels you follow. This requires linking your Telegram account to the platform.

Why is this needed?

TTMT acts as a Client on your behalf. By connecting your account, you authorize TTMT to:

1. Read messages from channels you specify.
2. Parse those messages for trading signals.
3. Ignore all other non-trading content.

Privacy First:

TTMT only reads messages from the specific channels you add to your watchlist. It does not read your private DMs or other group chats. Your privacy is paramount.

Authentication Steps

1. Start the Process

On the Dashboard during your onboarding, click the "Connect Telegram" button.

2. Enter Phone Number

Enter the phone number associated with your Telegram account in international format (e.g., +1234567890).

• Click Send Code.

3. Retrieve Code from Telegram

Open the Telegram app on your phone or desktop. You will receive a Service Notification from Telegram (not an SMS) containing a login code.

"Login code: 12345. Do not give this code to anyone..."

4. Enter Code

Type the code into the TTMT input field and click Verify.

5. Two-Step Verification (If Enabled)

If you have 2FA (Cloud Password) enabled on your Telegram account (highly recommended), you will be prompted to enter your password to complete the sign-in.

6. Connection Successful

Once verified, you will see your Telegram profile picture and name appear in the top navigation bar. You are now ready to add channels!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to give my code? Yes. The code is sent directly to the official Telegram servers (via Telethon/MTProto) to generate a secure session string. We do not store your password. Your session is encrypted before being stored in our database.

Can I use a secondary Telegram account? Absolutely. Many users create a dedicated Telegram account just for trading channels to keep their personal chats separate. Just log in with that specific phone number.

What happens if I log out of Telegram sessions? If you terminate the session from your Telegram Privacy settings, TTMT will lose access and you will need to reconnect.
