Can it touch my trades or my money?
No. Hangar reads account data (balance, equity, positions, history) through a lightweight service in each terminal to power the dashboards. There is no order path in the launcher: it doesn't place, modify or close trades, and it never asks for your broker password.
The full list of what it does and doesn't access.
Is the installer signed?
Yes. The installer is code-signed by Stratotank and always downloads from our own CDN at cdn.stratotank.com. Check that the publisher on the Windows prompt reads Stratotank before you run it.
Where does my account data go?
Nowhere. Balances, positions and trade history are read from your own terminals and stay on your machine — every dashboard is calculated locally. Hangar contacts our servers only to sign you in, check your entitlements, fetch updates, and pull news and the calendar.
Is it actually free, or free-until-it-isn't?
Actually free. Hangar costs nothing, forever — every feature, unlimited terminals. There's no trial timer and nothing expires. Plus exists for the trading tools; you never need it to keep using what's on this page.
Does it work with my broker?
Yes. Hangar works with any MetaTrader 5 terminal from any broker. It auto-discovers every MT5 installation on your machine — nothing to configure.
How often is it updated?
Hangar updates itself in the background and shows you what changed on the next launch. Every version we've shipped is listed with its date in the
release notes.
Do I need an account?
Yes — that's the signup form at the bottom of this page. Your free Stratotank account links your terminals and keeps your tools licensed. It takes about 30 seconds, uses a 6-digit email code rather than a password, and doesn't require a card.
What does it run on?
Windows 10 or 11. The download is about 80 MB and Hangar keeps itself up to date automatically — you install it once.
