TRUST & SECURITY
Anonymous by design.
Honest about the rest.
Meridian runs on your Windows PC — inside NinjaTrader 8, or as a standalone app connected to your Tradovate or Ironbeam account (early access). It never collects your name, broker credentials, account numbers, or funds, and never sells your data — your record is local-first and stays with you. This page states exactly what the software does, and what it does not.
WHAT LEAVES THE MACHINE
Local-first — and specific about it.
Meridian is local-first. The two requests it does make — license check and optional research data — carry nothing that could identify you, and the product keeps working even if you block them.
On startup, Meridian checks your subscription with Whop. The request contains only a license identifier — no trade data, no personally identifiable information. If you have questions about how Whop handles subscription data, see whop.com/privacy.
Anonymized trading and behavioral records — tied only to a random identifier, never your name, credentials, account numbers, or funds — sent over HTTPS to improve the product and study trading discipline. Never sold, fully optional, and you can opt out at any time. Details in the Data & Research Notice.
WHAT STAYS ON YOUR PC
Your record lives with you.
Everything Meridian builds about your trading is written to your own machine first. You hold the history; you decide when it goes away.
PSI scores, signal readings, composure grades, trade counts, and timestamps — written to a local database on your Windows PC.
Guard rules, session parameters, and baseline preferences — stored locally in the app's data folder (for the NT8 add-on, NinjaTrader's standard add-on data path).
Kept on your machine. Uninstalling Meridian removes the software; your local data files stay under your control unless you delete them.
WHAT MERIDIAN NEVER DOES
The lines we don't cross.
A risk tool earns trust by what it refuses to touch. These are the hard limits.
No name, broker credentials, account numbers, card details, or funds — ever. None of it is required to run the software, and none of it is transmitted.
The NinjaTrader 8 add-on reads execution data from NinjaTrader's internal data layer — your broker credentials never touch Meridian. The standalone Tradovate and Ironbeam apps (early access) sign in to your own account from your own PC; those credentials are used locally to open your session and are never transmitted to us.
PSI is a behavioral stability score, not a directional indicator. Meridian generates no buy or sell signals and offers no investment advice.
Meridian protects your discipline, not your P&L. We make no guarantee of trading results, returns, or outcomes — no tool can.
No third-party ad tracking, no profiling, no resale. The only data that leaves is anonymized data for product improvement and research — and you can turn it off.
GUARD'S BOUNDARY
By default, Guard never
closes your positions.
Guard's job is to stop you from adding risk — it intercepts new entries and size increases when you cross a line you set. By default it leaves the position you're already in completely alone: it does not close, flatten, or exit your trade.
The one exception is opt-in. On a Trading Pause or a full broker Disconnect — the two strictest levels — you can choose to enable auto-flatten, which closes your open positions at the moment the trigger fires. If you don't enable it, your positions stay open and under your full manual control.
It blocks new order entry. When a threshold you configured is crossed, Guard intercepts the next order at the platform level — inside NinjaTrader 8, or at the account API on the standalone apps — before it's submitted. Orders already working in the market are left alone.
Strict Lock can't be switched off mid-tilt. With it on, any pause or disconnect Guard fires runs its full window and Guard's settings are frozen — the heated version of you can't loosen a trigger, drop a level, or switch it off — but it still only blocks adding risk.
Broker disconnect is the ceiling, and it's yours to choose. The highest level (Disconnect) drops the broker connection (through NinjaTrader's standard disconnect API on NT8, or the account session on the standalone apps) — and can optionally auto-flatten open positions at the trigger. If you hold a position it first offers a flatten countdown before severing. It's an advanced, opt-in mode for full disengagement — understand and test it in simulation before using it live.
