Questions
Do I need a card?
Yes, but nothing is charged today. Stripe holds it so that if you decide to keep the panel your trading isn't interrupted by a payment step on day three. Cancel inside the three days and no charge is ever made.
Why do you need my Machine ID?
Your key is cryptographically bound to that one computer, which is what stops keys being passed around. It's the same mechanism paying customers get. NinjaTrader shows it under Help → About.
What happens on day 4?
If you did nothing, $89 is charged and the panel keeps working — your key updates itself, you don't have to do anything. If you cancelled, the panel shows UNLICENSED and stops placing new entries, while FLATTEN and your existing stop/target protection keep working so an ending trial can never trap you in a position.
How do I cancel?
Open My Account, hit Manage billing, and cancel — it's Stripe's own portal, one click, no email to anybody. Do it before day three and you are never charged.
Will it work on my prop account?
Yes, on anything NinjaTrader 8 connects to. Prop-firm traders are most of who this was built for — the daily-loss and contract-cap gates exist because of evaluation rules.
What if it doesn't fit how I trade?
Then you've lost nothing, and I'd honestly like to hear why — send feedback. Feature requests from real sessions are where most of this panel came from.
