From “who is this?”
to first trade.
Seven short steps, all inside Telegram. You’ll connect your broker via OAuth (we never see your password), pick a risk profile, and be live on a real account.
Open the bot and say hi
Find @TraderJoeBot on Telegram and hit /start. The bot will ask three things to set the scene: do you have an invite code, do you want to start a free month, or do you just want to look around?
Redeem an invite code
Invite codes are single-use, expire in 72 hours, and skip the waitlist. If you’re here from a friend, paste the code and you’re through. Otherwise skip.
Admin-only · codes are generated with/invite
Connect your broker
Pick your broker. TraderJoe supports cTrader (IC Markets, Pepperstone, FxPro, and ~40 others) and OANDA directly. The bot sends you a secure OAuth link — you log in on your broker’s site, approve trading permission, and bounce back.
- ✓ Trading permission only — no withdrawals
- ✓ We never see your broker password
- ✓ Revoke any time from your broker account
Authorize on your broker
You’ll land on your broker’s official OAuth page. Log in as you normally would, approve “TraderJoe may place trades on account X”, and close the tab. We don’t see your credentials — the broker only hands us a scoped access token.
If it looks scammy, it’s not us. The URL should be your broker’s domain.TraderJoe would like to:
- ✓ View account balance and positions
- ✓ Place and cancel orders on account #4829103
- ✕ Withdraw funds — not requested
- ✕ Change account details — not requested
Pick a risk profile
Three presets for the common cases, plus custom if you already know what you want. The profile is passed into every Claude decision — it’s how the advisor knows whether to suggest 0.005 lot or 0.02.
You can change this any time with/profile.
Turn on trading
Nothing happens until you flip the switch. When you’re ready, /go — the bot begins scanning on the next 5-minute tick. When a candidate appears, you’ll see the full decision in chat before anything is placed.
/pause. Emergency halt: /halt.
Take the 2-minute tour
Want to see the dashboard, read about the safety rails, or understand how Claude makes decisions? Type /tour and get a short guided explainer. Or skip it — the bot will onboard you in context as situations come up.
/statsweekly performance/journallast 20 decisions/why [trade-id]Claude re-explains/profilechange risk profile/pausestop trading temporarily/haltemergency stop + close allTotal time: about 5 minutes.
Most of which is the broker login and reading the OAuth prompt carefully. Good.
Ready when you are.
One command in Telegram to start. Cancel any time — also in one command.
