Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 14, 2026
1. Overview
Trade Assistant Pro is a self-hosted, locally-run application. It does not transmit your personal data to any third-party servers. All market data is sourced from MetaTrader 5 or Yahoo Finance and processed entirely on your local machine.
2. Data We Store Locally
The application stores signal history, trade outcomes, and performance statistics in a local SQLite database (trade_history.db) on your machine. This data never leaves your device.
3. MetaTrader 5 Connection
When using the MT5 Expert Advisor, your MT5 terminal sends market data (price, candle data) to the locally-running Flask server. This communication is local-only (localhost) and does not traverse the internet unless you configure a remote server URL.
4. No Cookies or Tracking
The web dashboard does not use cookies, analytics trackers, advertising pixels, or any third-party tracking services. Theme preferences are stored in your browser's localStorage, which remains on your device.
5. External Data Sources
When MT5 is not connected, the application may fetch historical candle data from Yahoo Finance (via the yfinance library) for simulation purposes. This is a standard financial data request and does not include any personal information.
6. Data Security
Since the application runs entirely locally, data security is your responsibility. We recommend running the server on localhost only and not exposing port 5000 to the public internet without proper authentication and firewall configuration.
7. Children's Privacy
This Software is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. Financial trading carries substantial risk and requires informed adult decision-making.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will be reflected here with an updated date. Continued use of the Software constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
9. Contact
For any privacy-related questions, please open an issue in the project repository or contact the developer directly.
