Privacy: what we store
Updated
Short version: we keep only what we need to run your account and answer you. We never sell your data. The panel in MT4 does not send your trades to us.
The panel in MT4
Your journal, screenshots and reports are files on your own computer. The panel does not upload them. The only internet calls are the news calendar and, if you turn them on, phone alerts through MetaTrader's own push service.
If you create an account
We store:
- Your email address.
- Your password, as a scrambled code (a hash). We cannot read your password.
- Your name, if you add one, your time zone and your language.
- Whether you want our emails (newsletter on or off).
- Your journal entries: date, symbol, buy or sell, risk %, result in R, whether you followed your rules, the emotion tag and your note.
- Your rules list (up to 10) and the articles you saved.
- Your settings: default risk %, account currency and account size.
- Your plan and its last day, which we enter by hand.
- Log-ins: the browser name and the time, so you can log out everywhere. Security events (sign-up, log-in, failed log-in, password change) with the time and your country in two letters.
If you request a trial key
- Your MT4 account number and your broker server name, so we can make a key for that one account.
- Your Telegram username, only if you give it.
We never ask for your broker password or your trading password.
If you use the email form
Your email, what you asked for (trial, news or a question), your platform and question if you give them, the page language, the page or post that brought you, the date and your country in two letters.
What we do not store
- Your IP address.
- Your broker or trading passwords.
- Payment card details. We take USDT by hand, and we only keep the transaction ID you send us.
Cookies and browser storage
- When you log in, we set two cookies: one that keeps you logged in, and one that tells our pages to show "Dashboard" instead of "Log in". There are no advertising cookies.
- Your browser also keeps a few settings on your device, not on our server: light or dark theme, your last calculator inputs, today's ticks on your rules checklist, and whether you chose to show live prices.
Live prices from TradingView
The home page shows a live price ribbon from TradingView. The Markets page and the dashboard can also show live prices and an economic calendar from TradingView; those load only after you press "Show live prices". When TradingView content loads, TradingView receives your visit and may set its own cookies. Their privacy policy applies to that part.
Page statistics
To improve the site we count page views, time on a page, clicks on links and buttons, the link you came from and your country. No IP address, no cookies for this, no third-party trackers. We never record what you type in your journal or in the calculators.
Why we keep it and who can see it
To run your account, send your key, answer you and, if you agreed, send you news. We never sell your data. We use it only for Discipline Guard. It is stored in a database at Cloudflare, the company that hosts this website. Only the Discipline Guard team can read it.
Your choices
- Download your data: Dashboard, Settings, Download my data.
- Stop our emails: turn off the newsletter in Settings, or reply "unsubscribe" to any email from us.
- Delete your account: Dashboard, Settings, Delete account. This removes your account, your journal, your rules, your saved articles and your settings.
- Change of plan: if we start using an email sending service, we will name it here before we use it.
