How It Works articles
Under the marketing, a signal copier is a pipeline. These posts open it up step by step and say which parts are worth spending engineering time on.
A provider presses send, and under two seconds later orders exist at your broker. The walk-through of that path names every step and where the time goes. Others cover what runs afterwards: the monitoring that has to notice a broker closing a position on its own, the two-phase check that catches a missing decimal place in a posted price before it reaches your account, and the MT4 and MT5 differences that matter when software places the trades. Settings and reference material live in the TTMT docs.
