Mintmark: Gold and Crypto Trading Course and Bot

Desk notes

What actually moves the markets we trade

Check these drivers before you look at a single candle. Each one is covered in depth in the course.

XAU/USDGold

Macro

Real yields set the tide

Gold pays no interest, so it competes with inflation-protected bonds. When the US 10-year real yield falls, gold usually finds buyers. When it climbs, rallies struggle. Check it before you hold a swing trade.

Currency

Watch the dollar index

Gold is priced in dollars. A rising DXY makes gold more expensive for buyers outside the US and often caps a move higher. A falling dollar tends to give gold room to run.

Flows

Central banks are steady buyers

Central banks bought more than 1,000 tonnes of gold in each of 2022, 2023 and 2024, according to the World Gold Council. That kind of buying tends to support dips rather than chase highs.

Timing

Trade the overlap, skip the rollover

Volume peaks while London and New York are both open. Spreads widen around the 17:00 New York rollover, and US inflation, jobs and Fed releases can move gold sharply in seconds. Know the calendar before you enter.

BTC · ETHCrypto

Structure

Bitcoin leads, altcoins follow

Most altcoins move in Bitcoin's direction with bigger swings. When BTC dominance rises, money is leaving altcoins, which often signals risk-off inside crypto. Trade ETH with one eye on BTC.

Positioning

Read funding rates and open interest

High positive funding with rising open interest means traders are crowded into leveraged longs. That is when a small drop can set off a chain of liquidations. Crowded shorts work the same way in reverse.

Timing

Weekends are thin

Liquidity drops on Saturday and Sunday, so price can move a long way on little volume. Weekend breakouts often reverse once Monday's volume returns. Size down or wait.

Macro

The Fed moves crypto too

Bitcoin has often traded alongside tech stocks during risk-off periods. Fed decisions and US inflation prints regularly move crypto, so the same economic calendar applies here as for gold.

Risk tools

Size every trade so a losing streak doesn't sink your account

Position sizing decides whether you survive long enough to find out if a strategy works. Both tools below come from the course's position sizing module, and they're free to use.

Position size calculator

Enter your account balance, how much you're willing to lose, and your stop. It works out how big the trade should be.

Gain needed to recover from a loss

Losses compound against you. Lose half your account and you have to double what's left just to get back to where you started.

gain needed = loss ÷ (1 − loss)

Show as a table

Loss from peak	Gain needed to recover

Strategy lab

See what win rate, reward and risk do to an account

Enter the numbers for any strategy and run 500 simulated sequences of trades. You'll see the range of outcomes, the drawdowns and the losing streaks to expect before you risk real money.

These are example inputs, not Mintmark's results. Change them to test any strategy.

Chance of a losing streak

Chance of at least one run of this many losses in a row.

Hypothetical simulation from the example inputs or your own numbers. It is not a record of real trades and does not predict future results. Real trading adds fees, slippage and human error.

The trading bot

It doesn't panic. It doesn't revenge-trade. It follows the rules.

The bot runs the Mintmark strategy on your own exchange account, exactly the way the course teaches it, for as long as it runs on an always-on computer or VPS. You set the risk. It does the rest.

What it does every time a candle closes

1
Scans
Reads the latest price on BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT the moment each candle closes.
2
Checks
Tests the course's entry rules. No valid setup means no trade.
3
Sizes
Works out the position size from the risk per trade you chose.
4
Places
Sends the order with its stop-loss and take-profit already attached.
5
Protects
Stops trading for the day if your daily loss limit is reached.

Your exchange, your keys

Connects with API keys that allow trading only. Keep withdrawals switched off. The bot never needs them.

A stop-loss on every order

No trade is placed without a stop, sized from the risk percentage you choose.

Daily loss limit

Trading pauses for the day once losses reach the limit you set.

Paper mode first

Run it on simulated funds until you trust it, then switch to live.

# example settings

markets: BTC/USDT ETH/USDT
risk_per_trade: 1.0%
daily_loss_limit: 3.0%
stop_loss: required
mode: paper

Message us on Telegram before you buy to confirm your exchange is supported.

Setup

Up and running in four steps. No coding.

If you can install an app and copy a key, you can run the bot. Stuck at any point? Message us on Telegram and we'll walk you through it.

Get your licence
Once your payment confirms, we send your download link and licence key on Telegram.
Install the app
Run the installer on Windows or macOS, or the one-line setup script on a Linux server.
Connect your exchange
Create an API key with trading switched on and withdrawals switched off, then paste it into the bot.
Paper trade, then go live
Watch it trade simulated funds first. When you trust it, switch to live with one setting.

Runs on

Windows

Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit

macOS

macOS 12 or newer, Intel and Apple silicon

Linux and VPS

Ubuntu 22.04 or newer. Best for running 24/7

Phones and tablets

Can't run the bot itself. Run it on a computer or server.

What you need

An account on a supported exchange with API access. Ask us on Telegram which ones.
A computer that stays on while the bot trades, or a small VPS.
A starting balance you can afford to lose. Start small while you learn.

Want it trading 24/7?The bot only trades while it's running, so a laptop that goes to sleep stops it. A basic VPS (a computer you rent in the cloud) keeps it on around the clock, and most cost a few dollars a month.

Before you buy

What to expect

Knowing this up front keeps you trading the plan when it gets hard.

Losing trades are normal

Even a sound strategy has losing streaks of five trades or more. The rules keep the loss on each trade small, so a streak costs a limited share of your account.

Paper trade first

Practise the rules on simulated money for a few weeks before you put real funds behind them.

Risk only what you can lose

Never trade with money you need for rent, bills or debt. Leverage multiplies losses as fast as gains.

The past doesn't promise the future

Markets change. Results depend on conditions and on how closely you follow the rules.

14-day money-back guarantee on the bot

You have 14 days from the day we send your licence key. If the bot won't install on a supported system or doesn't work as this page describes, message us on Telegram with your TxID, from the account we sent your licence to. We'll help you fix it, and if we can't, we refund the USDT you paid, in full, to a TRC-20 (Tron) address you give us. Testing in paper mode is enough to make a claim. The guarantee covers installation and function, not trading results.

We accept USDT on TRC-20 (Tron). On-chain transfers can't be reversed, so refunds under the bot guarantee are sent as a new transfer.

Trading can lose you money, including trades the bot places for you. Only use funds you can afford to lose.

FAQ

Questions people ask before buying

Will this strategy definitely make me money?

No, and you should walk away from anyone who promises that. The course teaches a complete set of rules and how to manage risk around them. Your results depend on the market and on how closely you follow the rules.

Do I need trading experience?

No. Module 1 starts with reading a chart. You'll need an account with an exchange or broker to place trades, and we recommend paper trading first.

Which exchanges does the bot work with?

Message us on Telegram with the exchange you use before you buy, and we'll confirm whether it's supported.

What devices does the bot run on?

Windows 10 and 11, macOS 12 or newer, and Linux servers running Ubuntu 22.04 or newer. Phones and tablets can't run the bot itself.

Do I need to keep my computer on?

Yes. The bot only trades while it's running. For round-the-clock trading, run it on a VPS, a computer you rent in the cloud for a few dollars a month. The setup guide shows you how.

Can the bot withdraw my money?

No. Your funds stay on your exchange. You create the API key yourself with withdrawals switched off, so the bot can place trades but can't move money out.

What if the bot doesn't work for me?

You're covered by the 14-day money-back guarantee, counted from the day we send your licence key. If it won't install on a supported system or doesn't work as described, message us on Telegram with your TxID, from the account we sent your licence to. If we can't fix it, we refund the full amount in USDT to a TRC-20 (Tron) address you give us. The guarantee doesn't cover trading results.

What does lifetime mean?

You pay once and keep your bot licence. There's no subscription and nothing renews.

How do I pay?

Choose a plan and send that amount in USDT on TRC-20 (Tron) to the address shown at checkout, making sure the full amount arrives. If you send from an exchange, add its withdrawal fee. If you send from your own wallet, keep some TRX in it to cover the Tron network fee. Then send the transaction ID (TxID) and the plan name to us on Telegram. We send your access once the payment confirms.

How does a monthly plan work with crypto?

Crypto payments don't renew by themselves. To keep course access, send the monthly amount again before your month ends, then send us the new TxID. If you stop paying, access simply ends.

Is this financial advice?

No. The course and free tools are education. The bot is software that places trades by the rules and risk settings you choose. You decide whether to run it, on which account and at what risk, and you're responsible for the results. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell any asset.
