Frequently Asked Questions

No. Sovereign Trader is a personal accountability and self-reflection tool. It does not provide financial advice, investment recommendations, or trading signals. All coaching responses reflect your own rules and patterns back to you — the AI mirrors your stated discipline, it does not advise on trades.

Sovereign Trader is not registered with or authorised by BaFin, ESMA, the SEC, the CFTC, FINRA, or any equivalent financial regulatory body in any jurisdiction. It does not hold any financial services licence. You are solely responsible for all trading decisions you make. If you require financial advice, consult a licensed financial advisor in your jurisdiction.

Sovereign Trader is an AI-powered trading companion that helps you maintain psychological discipline through a structured five-phase daily workflow. It is not a signal service, broker, or financial advisor — it is a personal accountability tool that reflects your own rules and patterns back to you.

Phase 1 — Ground: Assess your mental clarity, emotional state, physical readiness, and sleep quality before markets open.

Phase 2 — Strategize: Articulate your Strategy for this day.

Phase 3 — Prepare: Discipline Readiness Gate — Commit to Rules & Goals before you enter the market.

Phase 4 — Trade: Log trades, thoughts, and emotions. Request coaching or a Trade Check-In anytime.

Phase 5 — Reflect: Review what worked, what to change, and how well you followed your rules.

Yes. Sovereign Trader uses Telegram as its primary interface for the five-phase workflow and as the login method for the web dashboard. You'll need a Telegram account to use the service.

Sovereign Trader costs €39/month. This gives you full access to all five phases, the Telegram bot, AI coaching, weekly reviews, and the Process Score.

Yes. You can cancel at any time using the dedicated cancellation page or the "Cancel subscription" link in your account settings. When you cancel, your access continues until the end of the current billing period — you will not be charged again.

You can also manage your billing (payment method, invoices) via Manage Billing.

All major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) via Stripe. Bank transfer (SEPA Direct Debit) may also be available in your region. Payment is processed securely by Stripe — we do not store your card details.

We handle refund requests case-by-case. If you have a problem, please email support@sovereigntrader.net and we'll work with you.

Click "Have a promo code?" on the landing page or go to /auth/promo. Enter your code before you log in with Telegram. If the code grants a discount, it will be applied automatically at checkout. If it grants free access, you'll skip checkout entirely.

We collect your Telegram user ID, name, and username (from Telegram login), and the content you enter during the five phases — journal entries, mindfulness answers, session prep responses, and debrief notes. We also collect usage logs and billing information (via Stripe).

See the full Privacy Policy for details.

Your trading journal and coaching data is sent to OpenAI's API to generate AI responses. OpenAI does not use API data to train their models. We do not sell, share, or monetise your personal data. Billing data is handled by Stripe.

Yes. You can download a complete export of all your data — journal entries, sessions, scores, and more — as a ZIP of CSV files. Visit Settings → Data Export in the web dashboard. Your data is yours.

You can delete your account and all associated data from Settings → Delete Account in the web dashboard, or by emailing legal@sovereigntrader.net. Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.

The web dashboard works on any modern browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge. The Telegram bot works in the Telegram app on any platform.

Yes. The Telegram bot is fully mobile-friendly — you can complete all five phases on your phone. The web dashboard is also responsive, though it works best on a desktop or tablet for the weekly review and day view features.

Telegram login is more secure than a traditional username and password for several reasons:

No password to steal. Classic password logins require us to store a hashed password in our database. If a breach ever occurred, those hashes could be cracked. With Telegram login, Sovereign Trader stores no password at all — there is nothing to steal.

Cryptographic verification, not a form field. When you click "Log in with Telegram," Telegram's servers sign your identity data with a keyed hash (HMAC-SHA256) using a secret only Telegram and our server share. We verify that signature on every login. A fake login page cannot forge this — it doesn't have the secret.

Phishing-resistant. With a password form, an attacker can create a convincing copy of the login page and collect your credentials. With Telegram login, the actual authentication happens inside the Telegram app on your device — a fake page cannot intercept it, because there is no password to intercept.

Two-factor by design. Access to your Sovereign Trader account requires access to your Telegram account, which is tied to your phone number. If you've also enabled Telegram's optional 2FA passcode, your account has two independent factors — something you have (your phone) and something you know (the passcode).

What we receive from Telegram is only your Telegram ID, display name, and username — the same information visible to anyone in a shared Telegram group. We do not receive your phone number or any private contact data.
