Why Traders Trust Us

Built for Accountability

Every element of this system is designed with one goal: to give you reliable, verifiable, and secure automated trading.

Data Transparency

All performance metrics — including losses and drawdowns — are publicly reported. We do not cherry-pick results or hide underperformance.

Risk Management

Built-in stop-loss, position sizing, and drawdown circuit breakers. The system is designed to protect capital before chasing profit.

HWID-Locked License

Every license is bound to your hardware ID. This prevents unauthorized sharing and ensures your access is exclusive and secure.

No Manual Activation

Once configured, the system runs autonomously. No manual intervention required during live sessions — reducing human error entirely.

Advantages

Why Choose MJW Trader

No Emotional Trading

Human emotions — fear, greed, hesitation — are the leading causes of trading losses. The system executes based purely on pre-defined rules and data signals, every single time.

Data-Driven Entries & Exits

Every trade entry, take-profit, and stop-loss level is determined by quantitative signals — not intuition. The strategy has been rigorously tested across market conditions.

Built-In Risk Control

Position sizing, daily loss limits, and drawdown circuit breakers are integrated at the core of the system. Capital preservation is the first priority, profit is the second.

Transparent Reporting

We publish real backtest data including losing months and maximum drawdowns. You should understand the full risk profile of any system you use — and we make that easy.

Bear Market Honesty Note: December 2022 produced the only red month in the full year — WR dropped to 39% in a low-volatility sideways chop after the FTX crash settled. Max streak loss hit 13 consecutive trades. Yet the full year remained strongly positive (+66,188%), demonstrating that one bad month cannot override a robust edge.
⚠ Transparency Notice — 2023 was the hardest year for 15m.
Win rate fell below 50% (49.8%). One red month (September). Max drawdown reached −34.2%. The system remained profitable overall (+2,658%) but performance was significantly compressed. This data is presented without modification — it is what it is.

1H — THE CONSISTENT MACHINE
Max DD never exceeded −7.5% across any year. Win rate never fell below 60%. Green months: 60/60 (perfect). Profit Factor consistently above 2.8 in all years. If you value predictability and drawdown control, 1H is the choice.
15m — HIGH RETURN, HARDER RIDE
Best years (+167,456% in 2021) are explosive but 2023 was genuinely difficult (−34.2% DD, 49.8% WR). The upside is dramatically higher in bull cycles. If you can hold through sideways years without interfering, 15m compounds faster.
UNIVERSAL TRUTH ACROSS 10 YEAR-TF COMBINATIONS
Every year, both timeframes — profitable. 1H: 60/60 green months. 15m: 56/59 green months. No year produced a total loss. The edge is persistent across bull markets, bear markets, and sideways chop.

Leverage amplifies both gains and losses — compound sizing means each drawdown is larger in absolute dollar terms as the account grows. 2023 15m results demonstrate that past profitable periods do not guarantee future consistency. Never allocate capital you cannot afford to lose.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is HWID licensing and why does it matter?+
HWID (Hardware ID) binds your license to a specific computer's hardware fingerprint. This means the bot can only run on the machine where it was activated — it cannot be copied or shared. If you replace your computer, contact support for a one-time HWID reset.
Do I need to keep my computer on for the bot to run?+
Yes. MJW runs locally on your computer — it is not cloud-based. The bot will only trade while your computer is on and the application is running. If you need 24/7 operation without leaving your own machine on, a Windows VPS is a viable option.
Which exchange is supported?+
Binance Futures (USDT-margined). Connect via API key — trading permissions only, withdrawal access is never required or recommended. One account per license.
Can I cancel my subscription early?+
You can stop renewing at any time. Your license remains active until the end of the paid period. We do not offer refunds for unused portions of a subscription — choose the 1-month plan first if you want to try before committing to a longer period.
What are the minimum system requirements?+
Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) · 4GB RAM minimum, 8GB recommended · Stable internet connection · Python 3.10+ (bundled in installer). The bot uses minimal CPU and can run alongside other applications.
Is this guaranteed to profit?+
No. No automated trading system can guarantee profit. The backtest data shows strong historical performance across multiple market conditions, but past performance does not guarantee future results. Drawdowns will occur — the system is designed to manage them, not eliminate them. Read the full Risk Disclaimer before subscribing.

⚠️ Risk Notice: Trading involves significant financial risk. Only use capital you can afford to lose entirely. Review our full Risk Disclaimer before purchasing.

Getting Started

Installation Guide

This guide will walk you through installing MJW CryptoTrader Pro on your Windows machine. The process takes approximately 5–10 minutes.

ℹ️ System Requirements: Windows 10/11 (64-bit) · 4GB RAM minimum · Stable internet connection · .NET Runtime 6.0+

Step 1: Download the Installer

1

Log into your dashboard at mjwcryptotrade.com/login and navigate to the Downloads section. Download the latest installer (MJWCryptoTrade_Setup_vX.X.exe).

Step 2: Run the Installer

2

Right-click the downloaded file and select Run as Administrator. Follow the on-screen installation wizard. Choose your installation directory (default recommended).

Default installation path:
C:\Program Files\MJWCryptoTrader\

Step 3: Install Dependencies

3

The installer will automatically check for and install required dependencies including .NET Runtime 6.0. If prompted, allow the dependency installation to complete before proceeding.

Step 4: Launch the Application

4

Find MJW CryptoTrader Pro in your Start Menu or desktop shortcut. Launch it to see the activation screen. You will need your license key to continue.

⚠️ Antivirus Note: Some antivirus software may flag the installer. This is a false positive due to the software's network communication features. Add an exception for the installation folder if needed.
License

License Activation

Your license key is bound to your Hardware ID (HWID). This section explains how to find your HWID, purchase a license, and activate the software.

What is HWID?

HWID (Hardware ID) is a unique identifier generated from your computer's hardware components — including CPU, motherboard, and storage. It serves as a digital fingerprint for your machine. Each license can only be used on the machine whose HWID was submitted at purchase.

Finding Your HWID

1

Launch MJW CryptoTrader Pro. On the activation screen, your HWID is displayed automatically. It will look like a string of alphanumeric characters.

Example HWID format:
A1B2C3D4E5F6A1B2C3D4E5F6A1B2C3D4

Purchasing & Activating

2

Go to Pricing and choose your plan. During checkout, paste your HWID. After payment is confirmed, your license key will be issued to your registered email and dashboard.

3

Copy your license key from the dashboard. Return to the application activation screen, paste the key in the License Key field, and click Activate.

ℹ️ HWID Reset: If you replace your machine, contact support via Telegram (@mjwCryptoTrade_support) to request a HWID reset. Each license allows one reset per billing period.
Setup

System Configuration

After activation, configure the bot's trading behavior through the Settings panel. Key configuration areas are explained below.

General Settings

  • Trading Pair: Select your primary trading pair (e.g., BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT)
  • Timeframe: Choose the chart interval (1H recommended for beginners)
  • Trade Mode: Futures Only

Strategy Settings

  • Strategy Module: Select your activated strategy (Basic, Advanced, or Multi-Pair)
  • Entry Sensitivity: Adjust how aggressively the bot enters positions
  • Signal Confirmation: Enable double-confirmation for higher precision at the cost of fewer trades
⚠️ We strongly recommend starting with the default settings and a small position size before adjusting any parameters.
Integration

Exchange API Setup

MJW CryptoTrader Pro connects to your exchange via API keys. Here's how to generate and configure API access on supported exchanges.

🔴
Security Critical: Only enable Spot Trading and Futures Trading permissions on your API key. Never enable Withdrawal permissions. The bot does not require withdrawal access under any circumstance.

Binance API Setup

1

Log into Binance → Account → API Management → Create API Key

2

Label the key (e.g., "MJWCryptoTrader") and enable 2FA verification

3

Enable: ✅ Enable Reading ✅ Enable Spot & Margin Trading. Disable everything else.

4

Optionally restrict IP to your machine's IP address for additional security

5

Copy the API Key and Secret Key — paste them into the bot's Exchange Settings panel

Risk Management

Risk Settings Guide

Proper risk configuration is the most critical part of using any automated trading system. Incorrect settings are the primary cause of outsized losses.

Position Size

Set as a percentage of your total account balance. We recommend starting at 1–2% per trade for new users. Increase only after observing stable performance over at least 30 days.

Daily Loss Limit

Set a maximum allowable loss per day (e.g., 5% of account). When this limit is hit, the bot will stop opening new positions for the remainder of the day. This protects against losing streaks in volatile market conditions.

Maximum Drawdown Circuit Breaker

Set a total drawdown limit from peak equity (e.g., 15%). If this threshold is breached, the bot suspends all trading until manually reactivated. This is a critical safety feature — do not disable it.

🔴 Never risk more than you can afford to lose. Even a well-designed system can enter extended drawdown periods during unusual market conditions. Always maintain capital reserves outside the trading account.
Help

Frequently Asked Questions

The bot is not executing trades. What's wrong?+
Check: (1) API key has the correct permissions, (2) your license is active and not expired, (3) your exchange account has sufficient balance, (4) the bot's trading hours setting is not restricting operation. Check the activity log for specific error messages.
My license shows as expired but I just renewed. How do I fix this?+
Restart the application — it should sync the new license automatically. If it still shows as expired after a full restart, log into your dashboard and verify your renewal was processed. If the issue persists, contact support with your Order ID.
Can I run the bot on a VPS?+
Yes. You can run the bot on a Windows VPS. However, if the VPS hardware changes (e.g., migration to a different server), your HWID will change and you will need to request a HWID reset. We recommend using a dedicated VPS with stable hardware configuration.
Does the bot require the computer to be on 24/7?+
Yes. The bot must be running to monitor markets and execute trades. If your computer is off, the bot is inactive. For continuous operation, we recommend using a VPS service. The bot does not execute trades on the exchange independently — it must be running locally.
How do I contact support? +
