PLATFORMS
One license.
Every platform we support.
Meridian — next-generation risk management that acts before the order, not after the loss — started inside NinjaTrader® 8, and that is still home base. The same engine now also runs as a standalone app that connects straight to your Tradovate® or Ironbeam account.

Same engine. Honest differences.
Enforcement depends on what each platform exposes. Here is exactly what you get on each platform.

Early access means the app is validated against the platform's demo environment and is newer than the NT8 add-on — you download it yourself, and the standard 14-day free trial applies when you subscribe. The Tradovate® broker-level lock is executed through the platform's published account risk-control API; Ironbeam's API does not expose an account-level kill switch, so enforcement there is app-level (entry blocking and flatten). On Tradovate, live unrealized-P&L readouts depend on the account's market-data setup — core monitoring and enforcement need no market-data subscription at all. All Meridian apps are Windows, and Meridian never places entry orders for you.
FUNDED ACCOUNTS
Trading a funded account? Start here.
Meridian watches the account you trade, so what matters is the platform your firm gave you — not the firm's name on the door.
Your firm lets you trade through NinjaTrader 8
Many funded programs (for example Apex Trader Funding, My Funded Futures, Take Profit Trader and most Rithmic-based programs) let you run NinjaTrader 8 on your desktop. If that is your setup, install the Meridian add-on inside NT8 — it works with your funded connection today. Download →
Your account runs on Tradovate
If your program issues Tradovate-based accounts, the standalone Meridian app connects straight to that account — no NinjaTrader anywhere. Early access — download it. Get the app →
Topstep (TopstepX)
Honest answer: not yet. TopstepX is a closed platform, and Meridian cannot run inside it today. If that changes, the early-access list hears it first.
Something else, or not sure?
Email contactmeridianpsi@gmail.com with your firm and platform, and you'll get an honest answer — including when it's no.
Always confirm your own firm's rules on third-party tools before arming enforcement. Meridian reads only your own account activity and never places entry orders for you.
EARLY ACCESS
Early access: Tradovate & Ironbeam
Early-access build, June 2026 — shown on simulated data.
Guided connect — pick your broker, follow three steps; Meridian detects Demo vs Live for you.
The Tradovate and Ironbeam apps are in early access — the full Meridian system, connecting straight to your account. Download the app and you're running in minutes, on the same 14-day free trial as everything else. One subscription covers every platform: the same license runs your NinjaTrader 8, Tradovate, and Ironbeam — you never pay twice.
This is early-access software — the engine has shipped in NinjaTrader 8 for months, and the standalone app around it is newer. The builder is one email away if you need anything.
Not sure Meridian fits your setup? Ask first.
Common questions
I trade through TradingView or a DOM. Does Meridian see my trades?
Meridian's standalone apps watch the account, not the charting software. If your front-end routes orders through a Tradovate account, Meridian reads your orders and fills live no matter where you click. If your setup runs on a different broker stack, write us and we'll tell you honestly whether it's covered.
Is the license really shared across platforms?
Yes. One subscription, every platform we support, including new ones as they reach general release.
What does "early access" mean if I can just download it?
The engine is the same one that has shipped inside NinjaTrader 8 for months. The standalone app around it is newer: validated and self-installing, but you will be among the first to run it daily. Early access is honest labeling of that last mile — you download it today and trade with it on the standard 14-day trial.
Platform compatibility notice. Meridian connects to trading platforms and brokerage accounts that you hold with third parties. NinjaTrader® 8 support is delivered as a NinjaScript add-on for the NinjaTrader platform. Tradovate® support and Ironbeam support are delivered as standalone Windows applications that connect to your existing account using each provider's published API. You must have your own account, platform license, and any required market-data subscriptions with the relevant provider; Meridian does not open, hold, or manage brokerage accounts. All product and company names are trademarks of their respective owners; use of these names does not imply any affiliation with, or endorsement, sponsorship, or approval by, the trademark owners. Meridian's monitoring and lockout features are risk-management tools only — they do not guarantee the prevention of losses, and there is a substantial risk of loss in trading futures. Losses in excess of your initial investment may occur.
