From invite code
to first trade.

Seven short steps, all inside Telegram. You’ll redeem your invite code, connect your broker via OAuth (we never see your password), pick a risk profile, and be live on a real account.

1
Step one

Open the bot and say hi

Find @TraderJoeBot on Telegram and hit /start. The bot will ask if you have an invite code. Without a valid invite, the bot will not respond — access is invite-only.

Tip · Invite codes are single-use and expire in 72 hours.

Step two

Connect your broker

Pick your broker. TraderJoe supports any broker on the cTrader Open API (IC Markets, Pepperstone, FxPro, and ~40 others). The bot sends you a secure OAuth link — you log in on your broker’s site, approve trading permission, and bounce back.

Step three

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.

  • ✓ Trading permission only — no withdrawals
  • ✓ We never see your broker password
  • ✓ Revoke any time from your broker account

Step four

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.

Step five

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 any time with /pause. Emergency halt: /halt.

Step six · optional

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.

Key commands: /stats /journal /pause /halt
Commands you’ll use

/journallast 20 decisions
/why [trade-id]Claude re-explains
/profilechange risk profile
/pausestop trading temporarily
/haltemergency stop + close all
That’s it

Total time: about 5 minutes.

Most of which is the broker login and reading the OAuth prompt carefully. Good.
