Scope
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information Steady Edge Trading LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company ("Steady Edge Trading") collects, why it is collected, who it is shared with, and what choices you have. It applies to steadyedgetrading.com, The Forge training platform, the Steady Edge Trading email lists including the Sunday Macro Brief and the Thursday Mid-Week Read, the Steady Edge Trading Discord server, and all Steady Edge Trading products.
Steady Edge Trading is operated from Tennessee, United States. Questions go to info@steadyedgetrading.com.
Information Collected
2.1 Information you provide
Account information. When you create a Forge account you provide an email address and set a password. Passwords are handled by the authentication service and are never visible to Steady Edge Trading.
Onboarding profile. Before entering The Forge you provide a first name, last name, city, state, and a display name. First name, last name, city, and state are private and are used for member records, support, and community context. The display name is public inside The Forge as described in section 4.
Marketing consent. Onboarding includes an optional, unchecked email opt-in. The choice you make and the time you made it are recorded.
Training activity. As you use The Forge, the platform records lesson completions and check scores, gate attempts and per-item results, completed simulator repetitions including the verdict, entry path, outcome, rule-by-rule adherence, the captured journal, and the emotional tag you select, saved artifacts such as The Why, the sizing worksheet, the trade plan and the readiness document, workout activity, experience points, levels, and streaks.
Support and correspondence. Anything you send by email, through a feedback form, or through Discord.
Purchases. Order records from the platforms that process your payment.
2.2 Information collected automatically
Technical logs. The website host and the database platform record standard server log information including IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and timestamps, for security, abuse prevention, and reliability.
Browser storage. The Forge sets an authentication session token so you stay logged in, and stores small preference values in your browser, such as which panels you have dismissed and unsaved work held for retry when a save fails. These are functional and are not used for advertising.
Referral parameters. Links to partner platforms carry a referral identifier so the partner can attribute a signup to Steady Edge Trading. That identifier is not personal information about you.
Analytics. Steady Edge Trading does not currently run third-party website analytics or advertising pixels. If that changes, this policy is updated before the change goes live and the effective date at the top of this page reflects it.
2.3 Information Steady Edge Trading does not collect
Steady Edge Trading never receives or stores your full payment card number, bank details, brokerage credentials, or proprietary trading firm account credentials. Payments are processed entirely by the third-party platforms named in section 5. Steady Edge Trading does not collect Social Security numbers, government identifiers, health information, or biometric data.
How Information Is Used
Personal information is used to:
- create and maintain your account and grant the access you purchased;
- deliver, personalize, and improve the training experience, including progress tracking, badges, scoreboards, and the daily workout;
- process and confirm purchases and manage subscription status;
- send transactional messages such as receipts, access notices, and account alerts, which are sent regardless of marketing consent because they are necessary to the service;
- send marketing email, including the Sunday Macro Brief and the Thursday Mid-Week Read, only where you have opted in;
- provide support and respond to your questions;
- maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, and enforce the Terms of Service; and
- meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations.
Aggregated and de-identified data may be used to understand how the platform performs and to describe it publicly. Such data never identifies an individual member.
Steady Edge Trading does not sell personal information and does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
The Public Leaderboard
The Forge includes a member leaderboard visible to other logged-in members. The leaderboard shows only your display name, experience points, level, and rank. It never shows your legal name, email address, city, state, adherence percentage, or any dollar figure.
If you have not set a display name, an anonymous handle is shown instead. You may change or clear your display name at any time on the profile page, which returns you to the anonymous handle.
Service Providers
Steady Edge Trading uses the following providers, each of which processes some personal information on its own terms:
| Provider | Purpose | Information involved |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Database, authentication, and application hosting for The Forge | Account, profile, training activity, technical logs |

Each provider is bound by its own agreement and privacy policy. Steady Edge Trading shares only what a provider needs to perform its function.
Personal information may also be disclosed where required by law, subpoena, or valid legal process, to protect the rights, safety, or property of Steady Edge Trading or others, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case notice will be given.
Email and Your Choices
Marketing email is sent only to people who opted in. Every marketing email includes a one-click unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing takes effect immediately across all Steady Edge Trading marketing lists.
Transactional email related to your account, your purchase, or your access is not marketing and continues while your account is active.
You can update your profile fields at any time inside The Forge. To change your email address, request a copy of your data, or request deletion, write to info@steadyedgetrading.com.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information is held about you, to obtain a copy of it, to correct it, to delete it, to opt out of sale or targeted advertising, which Steady Edge Trading does not conduct, and to be free from discrimination for exercising these rights.
To exercise any right, write to info@steadyedgetrading.com from the email address on your account. Steady Edge Trading will verify your identity by confirming control of that address and will respond within the period required by applicable law. An authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf with proof of authorization.
Steady Edge Trading is a small business that currently falls below the applicability thresholds of most state comprehensive privacy laws. The commitments in this section are offered voluntarily to every member regardless of residence, and they are honored.
Steady Edge Trading operates from and stores data in the United States and does not target the European Union or the United Kingdom. If you access the Services from outside the United States, you understand that your information is processed in the United States.
Retention
Account and training data are kept while your account exists and for a reasonable period afterward for records, dispute resolution, and legal compliance. Purchase and tax records are kept for the period required by law, generally seven years. Email list records are kept until you unsubscribe, and a suppression record is kept afterward so that an unsubscribed address is not re-added. On a verified deletion request, personal information is deleted or anonymized except where retention is legally required.
Security
Access to member data is restricted at the database level so that each member can read and write only their own rows. Public leaderboard data passes through narrowly scoped functions that expose only the four public fields. Traffic is encrypted in transit. Payment card data never touches Steady Edge Trading systems.
No system is perfectly secure. Steady Edge Trading cannot guarantee absolute security and you use the Services at your own risk. If a breach affecting your personal information occurs, Steady Edge Trading will notify affected members by email without unreasonable delay and will comply with applicable breach notification law.
Children
The Services are for adults. Steady Edge Trading does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided information, write to info@steadyedgetrading.com and it will be deleted.
Changes
This policy may be updated. The current version is always posted at steadyedgetrading.com/privacy with the effective date at the top. Material changes will be announced by email to opted-in subscribers or by notice inside The Forge.
