Preset Sharing ​

Once you've tuned a preset that works, you can hand it to another trader — or to your future self on a new account — as a single import link. The link carries a complete, self-contained copy of the preset: every setting is filled in with your actual values before it's shared, so it behaves identically no matter whose account imports it. The preset's execution schedule travels with it too. Your accounts, your channel assignments, and your identity stay private.

Sharing a preset ​

Open the preset and press Share link in its header, or choose Share link from the preset card's ⋯ menu. The Share Trading Profile dialog generates a one-click import link; press Copy and send it anywhere (Telegram, email). The link looks like:

https://app.telegramtometatrader.com/dashboard/settings/profiles/import/ABCDEFGH

The trailing 8-character code is the preset. Anyone with the link can import a copy — but nothing else of yours travels with it. Links made before presets got their new name work exactly the same.

TIP

Finish your account setup before sharing. If your account defaults are incomplete, the link fills the blanks with platform defaults instead of your intended values.

What gets shared (and what doesn't) ​

Shared: every setting, fully filled in, plus the preset's trading hours (its blocked-hours pattern and timezone). Every setting you left inherited (blank) is replaced with your own account's current value before the link is created, so the recipient gets exactly the behaviour you intended.

Not shared: your trading accounts, your channel assignments, and your name or identity. The preset's name travels along only as a label the recipient can change.

INFO

The share link contains the preset's settings — fully filled in — and its trading hours. It does not include your trading accounts, your channel assignments, or your identity. The recipient gets a copy they own and can change freely.

Why inherited settings are filled in before sharing ​

In your account, a blank setting means "use my account default." If that blank crossed to someone else unchanged, their default would fill it — and the preset would quietly behave differently for them. So before the link is made, every blank is replaced with your real value. The preset is locked to the behaviour you actually tested.

Concrete example: your default stop loss is 60 pips and you share a preset that left the default SL inherited. A friend whose account default is 20 pips imports it. Because the setting was resolved to your 60-pip value before sharing, they get your intended wider stop — not a silent tightening to their 20. Without this step, the same preset would behave differently for every recipient.

Importing a preset ​

There are two ways in:

  • Open the share link while you're signed in. TTMT takes you to Settings → Presets with the Import from link dialog already filled in.
  • Press Import from link in Settings → Presets and paste the link or its 8-character code.

The dialog says "Paste a preset share link or its code. You can check what it changes before you import it." Once it finds the preset it shows Found: {name} · changes {n} settings. Before importing you can:

  • Choose the account. Import to picks the account the preset is checked against: "What it changes and the warnings below are worked out against this account."
  • Choose whether to take its trading hours. Also import its trading hours is ticked by default. Leave it ticked to take the sharer's blocked hours; untick it to import only the settings, so your account and channel blocked hours apply instead.
  • Rename it if you already have a preset with that name; the dialog asks for a new name.

Press Import. The toast says "Imported {name}. It isn't used by any channel yet.", and a banner offers Choose channels… to put it to work. The preset is now yours, like any other, and it shows under the Imported view.

Edit before importing ​

To change the preset before it lands, press Edit before importing. That opens the full Import Trading Profile page, which shows the source's name, colour, icon and code, and lets you:

  • Rename it — it defaults to "<name> (Imported)" — and change its colour, icon and description.
  • Review every setting. The page shows "X settings differ from your account defaults" and lets you adjust any of them.
  • Preview the hours. If the shared preset carries trading hours, the page shows the blocked-hours pattern so you can see when it would pause trading before you take it on, with the same import-hours switch.
  • See where it goes. The page shows "Importing to account: <name>".

TIP

Read the "Found: … · changes {n} settings" line, or the "X differ from your defaults" summary, before importing — it's the fastest way to see what this preset actually changes versus your normal setup.

Hours import is best-effort

When you import the hours, TTMT applies the sharer's blocked hours as closely as it can to your copy. If any part can't be applied cleanly, the import still succeeds with the settings — open the preset's Trading hours afterwards and confirm the blocked hours look right. If you didn't import the hours, the preset arrives with none of its own and falls back to your account and channel blocked hours.

Example: you import a friend's "Gold Sniper" preset with Edit before importing. It lands as "Gold Sniper (Imported)", and you rename it to "Gold – from Alex" before saving so you can tell your presets apart.

Adjustments and warnings on import ​

The full import page (Edit before importing) surfaces two guard rails before anything reaches your trading. The Import from link dialog shows its warnings too, worked out against the account you import to.

Adjusted-values banner. If the shared preset has a value below your platform's current minimum — say a pip distance under the allowed floor — it's clamped up, and the page lists each change as "original → adjusted". Dismiss the banner once you've reviewed it. For example, a shared preset sets BE Buffer to a value the platform no longer allows; on import the banner shows "BE Buffer: 0 → 1 pips" so you know it was nudged up before saving.

Can't-import block. The same cross-field validation that runs in the editor runs on import. If the resolved settings are inconsistent, a red banner lists what to fix and the Import Profile button stays disabled until you resolve it. For example, a shared preset has Default TP1 = 150 and Default TP2 = 120; the page blocks with "Take Profit values must be in ascending order" and won't import until you fix one of them.

WARNING

If you see the validation banner, the preset can't be imported until the listed conflicts are resolved. This is deliberate — it stops a self-contradicting preset from ever reaching live trading.

After importing ​

An imported preset starts out unassigned. Assign it like any preset — see Applying Presets. Customise it freely; your edits never affect the sharer's original, and theirs never affect your copy.

If the link or code is wrong or expired, the dialog says "No preset at that link or code. It may have expired.", or "That doesn't look like a TTMT share link." for something that isn't one; the full import page says "Preset Not Found — ask the sender for a new link." If you're not logged in, you're prompted to log in first and then returned to the import.

Community stats for shared presets ​

Availability

Community Stats is enabled per account by the TTMT team and is rolling out gradually. If you don't see the Community stats entry on your presets yet, contact support to request access — the sharing and import flow above works regardless.

Once you've shared a preset, you can see how many other traders are actually using it. Open Community stats from the preset card's ⋯ menu, and a panel slides in from the right (or up from the bottom on your phone). This is not a performance ranking — it counts adoption, never results. There is no P&L, no win rate, and no other trader's name or account anywhere in it. These stats are visible only to you, the preset's owner — nobody browsing can see them on your behalf.

TIP

Where it's enabled, you don't have to switch anything on. The moment someone imports your preset and starts trading it, the numbers begin to fill in. Just open Community Stats on any preset you've shared to check.

The drawer shows up to three numbers, each from a different source — never conflated:

What you seeWhat it countsWhere it comes from
Used by N traders · last 30 daysDistinct other traders whose imported copy of your preset actually placed a trade in the last 30 days (live or demo)Real trades the platform executed
Total adoptersDistinct people who currently hold a copy imported from your share linkThe permanent import record
Times sharedHow many share links you've generated for this presetYour own account

The headline number — "Used by N traders" — is the trust anchor, because it's grounded in trades the platform itself executed, not in clicks or imports. Example. You share your "Gold Sniper" preset. Twelve other traders import it and let it trade XAUUSD over the next month — the drawer reads "Used by 12 traders · last 30 days", with Total adopters 20 and Times shared 7 underneath.

Why some numbers stay hidden ​

The cross-user counts only appear once a small minimum number of traders is involved — currently three. Below that, the number is hidden behind a "—" with the caption "Hidden until 3+ traders" — even from you. This is the same privacy floor used on the Explore directory: with only one or two people using a preset, showing the exact count could effectively identify them, so the platform shows nothing until a third joins. It protects the people who imported your preset — and it protects yours when you import someone else's.

Worked example — a preset that's only just catching on

You shared "London Breakout" and two friends imported and traded it. The drawer doesn't say "Used by 2 traders" — instead it shows the friendly "It's early days" message and a "—" where the count would be, with "Hidden until 3+ traders" beneath. Your own Times shared number still shows (that's your data, so no floor applies). The day a third trader's copy places a trade, the headline flips to "Used by 3 traders · last 30 days."

What counts as "using" your preset ​

A trader only counts toward Used by N traders once their imported copy is assigned to a channel and actually places a trade. Someone who imports your preset but never assigns it to a channel — or assigns it but receives no signals yet — honestly reads as zero. So a low number doesn't always mean low interest; it can mean people have your preset saved but haven't put it to work yet. The window is rolling: it always reflects the last 30 days, and both demo and live trading count, because the number measures how widely your settings are adopted, not how much money is at stake.

WARNING

Community Stats deliberately show no performance figures — no profit, no win rate, no drawdown. A high "Used by" count tells you a preset is popular, not that it's profitable. Judge a preset's results the same way you'd judge any setup: by testing it on a demo account and watching the Trade Log and Performance pages, not by how many people use it.
