Trade Configuration

Trade Configuration is everything that decides how TTMT turns a Telegram signal into real trades on your account: your lot size, how a trade enters the market, where its profit targets and stop-loss sit, and how it is managed once it is open. Your settings apply to every channel by default, and you can override them per channel with a Config Profile. This page is the map.

TIP

If you are just starting, set your lot size on Position Sizing, pick a default stop-loss on Entries & Targets, and leave everything else on its defaults. Tune one thing at a time and watch the Trade Preview.

Two questions every setting answers

Every setting on these pages answers one of two questions. This is the way to think about them, not the way the tabs are laid out.

1. How does a trade open? Your lot size, how the position is split into entry layers, the entry zone, the take-profit and stop-loss defaults, whether you trust the signal's levels or your own, and what happens to a malformed signal. This lives in Order Setup.

2. How is an open trade managed? Moving the stop to breakeven, trailing a runner, shifting take-profit targets as deeper layers fill, applying follow-up messages from the channel, respecting changes you make by hand, and trading-hours limits. This lives in Active Trade Setup.

For example: Order Setup decides that a EUR/USD BUY opens as 4 entry layers with a 60-pip stop-loss and 3 take-profits. Active Trade Setup decides that once the first target hits, the stop moves to entry so the trade can no longer turn into a loss.

Your settings pages

The Settings area has four tabs plus a Config Profiles button.

Entries & Targets	Entry strategy and layers, entry zone, take-profit and stop-loss defaults, signal overrides, bad-signal protection	Order Setup
Trade Management	Breakeven, trailing stop, take-profit rebalancing, signal follow-ups, manual-override behavior, trading hours	Active Trade Setup
Risk Limits	The enforced daily-loss halt and position limits	Risk Limits
Config Profiles	Named presets you assign to individual channels	Config Profiles

INFO

Nothing auto-saves. Each page has a Save Changes button (and a Reset to Defaults button) in the bar at the bottom. A live Trade Preview panel shows the effect of your edits on a sample trade before you save.

The adaptive engine in one paragraph

Each trade is split into 1 to 6 layers of up to 6 orders each. The default is 4 layers of 3 orders, which is 12 orders; the maximum is 6 layers of 6 orders, which is 36. Layer 1 enters near the signal price; deeper layers wait as limit orders in case price retraces, averaging your entry to a better price. Orders are spread across your take-profit levels, and as deeper layers fill, TTMT can shift those targets to lock in profit on the now-larger position. The mechanics live in Order Execution and Take-Profit Rebalancing.

How channel profiles override your defaults

Your account settings are the baseline for every channel. A Config Profile assigned to a channel overrides only the fields you change inside it; every field you leave untouched falls back to your account settings. There is no deeper stack — it is exactly two layers.

For example: your account default is 0.10 lots. You create an "Aggressive Gold" profile that sets 0.30 lots and assign it to one gold channel. Only that channel trades at 0.30; every other channel still uses your 0.10 default.

WARNING

Per-asset overrides are not a third settings layer. They only supply default stop-loss and take-profit pip distances for one asset class, such as gold or indices. They do not override entry strategy, breakeven, or anything else. A profile changes settings for one channel; a per-asset override changes the default pips for every trade on one asset class across all channels. They are different tools.

Ideal Settings & Trading Strategy

Scenario 1 — Conservative First-Timer

Setup: A new $1,500 account following one channel that posts complete signals.

Settings: Position Sizing — Fixed 0.02 lots. Entries & Targets — Even strategy with 4 layers, Progressive take-profit, default stop-loss 60 pips, all signal overrides off, Auto-Correct on. Trade Management — breakeven from the first target, trailing off, take-profit rebalancing on, manual override "Respect Until Next Signal." No Config Profiles yet. Risk Limits — a 5% daily-loss cap.

Why: One channel, the smallest practical lot size, and early profit-taking keep losses tiny while you learn how settings translate into trades in the Trade Preview.

Watch for: At 0.02 lots the deepest layers may be too small for the broker to fill — that is fine while you are learning. The viability badge will tell you.

Switch when: You add a second channel with a different style. That is the moment to create your first Config Profile.

Scenario 2 — Moderate Multi-Channel Trader

Setup: A $10,000 account following three channels: a calm forex one, a fast gold one, and a swing one.

Settings: Tune your account baseline for the calm forex channel (Fixed 0.15, Even with 4 layers, Progressive, stop-loss 50 pips). Then build two Config Profiles: a "Fast Gold" profile (Front-Loaded with 3 layers, a tighter zone, Close Immediately when a target is already passed) assigned to the gold channel, and a "Swing" profile (Extended take-profit, Keep Signal Settings, trailing via runners) assigned to the swing channel. Risk Limits — a 4% daily cap.

Why: One baseline plus two targeted profiles lets each channel trade in its own style without re-tuning the whole account.

Watch for: A profile only overrides the fields you set. Leave a field blank and it falls back to your account default, which may not suit that channel.

Switch when: A channel's instrument behaves so differently that you need different stop-loss and take-profit pips for it specifically — add a Per-Asset Override.

Scenario 3 — Prop-Firm Trader

Setup: A $100,000 challenge account with strict daily-drawdown rules, following two fast channels.

Settings: A conservative account baseline (Fixed 0.25, Even with 3 layers, stop-loss 30 pips, Override signal SL on so every trade respects your stop). Risk Limits set just inside the firm's daily loss line. Trade Management — breakeven from the first target, manual override "Respect Forever." One Config Profile per channel to fine-tune entry style.

Why: The Risk Limits halt is the safety net that protects the challenge, the SL override guarantees no trade exceeds your planned risk, and early breakeven removes the chance of a winner reversing into a loss.

Watch for: A burst of fast signals can stack risk quickly. The daily halt is what stops a single bad hour from failing the challenge.

Switch when: You are funded and the rules loosen — relax the SL override and let winners run with Extended take-profit.
