The service

The TradePlatoon member app is a trading journal, a training course and a library of educational content: a daily plan, a trade log, a debrief and a history of your sessions, the course with its drills and ranks, plus videos and documents. It is provided as is, and we may change or withdraw features.

The course, drills and rank

Enlistment includes accepting the platoon's code of conduct, and that acceptance is a stored, versioned record: the version you signed and when. A revised code asks for a fresh signature at your next sign-in before you continue, and earlier signatures stay on your record. Conduct that breaks the code is handled by the discipline ladder described in the handbook — warnings first, on the record, reversible on appeal.

The course teaches a code of conduct. It runs to forty chapters of five sections each: the General's orders, the doctrine, a story, a drill, and an assessment with a written journal entry. Passing a drill or an assessment and holding a rank say one thing only: that you followed that code inside this app. They are not a qualification, a license, a certification or any kind of credential, and they say nothing about your skill or your results.

The assessment at the end of each chapter is marked by the app, the pass mark is every question, and you may retake it as many times as you like. The journal entry that closes a chapter is a stored record: we keep it as you wrote it, with the rank you held and a checksum, and a later entry for the same chapter is added rather than replacing the one before it. Neither we nor you can edit an entry once it is filed; you can always write another, export them or delete your account.

Rank sets the limits the app enforces on your own journal: how many trades it will let you record as open at once, how much risk it will accept across them, and what it asks you to write first. Those limits are a discipline tool inside the app. They do not touch your broker, they cannot stop you trading anywhere else, and they are not a risk-management service. We may change the course, the drills, the rank table and its limits at any time, and a change may move your rank.

The app also keeps a daily routine on the clock you set: a roll call before the open, a check in the middle of the session and a debrief after the close. Marking them late, or not at all, is recorded and counts toward rank, and trades are refused outside the session you declared. These are reminders and record-keeping inside this app; they are not an alarm service, and a reminder email may be late or may not arrive at all.

Paying for the course

Parts of the course may be sold. When they are, the introduction and a number of chapters after it stay free, the app says plainly which ones, and the daily tools — your plans, your trades, your debriefs, your journal and your service record — are never behind a payment.

The full course is sold for one payment (plus tax) and is not billed again: $499.99 for the first 1,000 soldiers, the founding price, and $999.99 after that. Access does not expire for as long as TradePlatoon operates the course. If it ever closes, members receive notice and an export of their own records. It is sold by Lemon Squeezy as the merchant of record: the sale is between you and Lemon Squeezy, who take the payment, charge and remit any tax due, issue the receipt and handle disputes under their terms. TradePlatoon is not the merchant; we open the course on your account when Lemon Squeezy tells us the payment succeeded. We never see or hold your card details. The full terms of sale are part of these terms.

All sales final. The free chapters are the trial; a purchase is not refunded because you changed your mind or read on. Lemon Squeezy, as merchant of record, honours any refund the law requires of it, including a consumer's statutory right of withdrawal in the EU or the UK where that right still applies; at checkout you ask for access at once and acknowledge that the right ends when it opens. If access is ever withdrawn — that way, or because a subscription (should one ever be offered) lapses — nothing you have written is deleted: your progress, your journal entries and your rank stay exactly as they were and are yours again if you buy again.

Before you pay you acknowledge three things: that the course is education and not financial advice, that the purchase is a single payment with no subscription, and that you have read the terms of sale, that the purchase is final and that access opens at once. That acknowledgment is a stored, versioned record on your account, made once, like your acceptance of the code of conduct.

We may also grant the full course to somebody at no charge. A grant is recorded with the reason it was given and can be withdrawn the same way.

Once a week the app writes up the week just finished from your own records and asks you to confirm each line or dispute it with a reason. Until a week is signed off, the app refuses to open new trades in your journal from the following Monday. A dispute goes to an administrator, who either corrects the record or explains why it stands; the correction is a change to what the app shows you, not to what happened.

Conduct recorded against you (moving a stop away from your entry, trading past a limit you set, missing a roll call or a debrief) can reduce your rank inside the app. Your completed training stays completed. Nothing about rank affects your access to your own journal or your right to export or delete it.

Not financial advice

Nothing in the app, the videos or the documents is investment, financial, legal or tax advice, a recommendation, or an offer to buy or sell anything. It is education about discipline and risk management. We are not a broker, adviser or fund. Past performance, ours or yours, says nothing about future results.

Trading involves a substantial risk of loss, including more than your initial deposit in leveraged products. Every decision you make is yours alone. We accept no liability for trading losses.

Your account

• You must be at least 18 and able to enter a binding contract.
• Keep your email account secure; anyone with a sign-in link can access your journal.
• One account per person. Do not share member content outside your account.
• Use the service as a person, through a browser or the installed app. Do not access it with automated tools (bots, scrapers, crawlers or scripts), and do not copy the course, the handbook or the audio in bulk by any means. We rate-limit, and may suspend accounts that do.
• We may suspend accounts used to abuse the service or other members.

Your data

Your journal entries, drill answers, course notes and routine record belong to you. We store them to show them back to you, to work out whether a drill passed and what rank you hold, and for nothing else. You can export or delete all of it at any time. See the privacy policy for retention periods.

Content

Videos, documents and other material in the manual are ours or licensed to us. They are for your personal use as a member. Do not copy, redistribute or resell them.

Availability and liability

We aim for the app to be available but do not guarantee it. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our liability to you for any claim arising from the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including trading losses.

Ending the agreement

You can end it any time by deleting your account. We can end it by closing your account with notice by email, or without notice if you break these terms.

Changes

If we change these terms materially we will tell you by email or in the app before the change takes effect.
