Trust
Hangar sits next to your MetaTrader 5 terminals and your live accounts. That is a lot of trust to ask for, so here is exactly what it touches — and what it is not built to touch at all.
Your account figures are read out of your own terminals and stay on your own machine. The dashboards, the equity curve, the P/L calendar and the performance statistics are all calculated locally from that data — none of it is sent to us.
Hangar talks to our servers for four things and nothing else: signing you in, checking which products your account is entitled to, downloading tool and launcher updates, and fetching news and the economic calendar.
Your Stratotank account uses your email address and a 6-digit code. There is no password to set, reuse or leak. Sign-in is handled by our identity provider, and the site never sees a broker credential of any kind — we never ask for one.
Entitlements are cached on your machine, encrypted with Windows' own data protection, with a 7-day offline grace period. Losing your internet connection does not stop your tools mid-session, and it does not stop the launcher.
The Hangar installer is code-signed by Van Coller Consulting (Pty) Ltd, trading as
Stratotank, and is served from our own
CDN at cdn.stratotank.com. If Windows SmartScreen shows a caution
while our signing reputation builds with Microsoft, choose More info then
Run anyway — and check that the publisher on the prompt reads
Stratotank. If it does not, do not run it, and
tell us.
Hangar uninstalls from Windows Settings like any other application. Uninstalling the launcher does not touch your terminals, your charts, your templates or your trading history.
