Melian Dialogue — Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1

What is Melian Dialogue?

Accepted Answer

Kenya's first pure proprietary trading evaluation platform. Trade the NSE + FX + Commodities + Options on 100% virtual capital, rank on public leaderboards, and get an AI-powered Trading Assistant (institutional-only). Individuals free forever; brokers, education institutions, and fintechs pay a metered per-active-user fee (Obondo Standard/Growth/Scale) after an application review.

Question 2

Do I need trading experience?

Accepted Answer

No. Every individual account starts with a KES 1,000,000 virtual balance and the full trading terminal. Try small positions before you touch any advanced order type.

Question 3

How does copy-trading work here?

Accepted Answer

Every public Leader publishes their trades live. As a Copier, you allocate a proportion of your virtual equity — entries and exits mirror in real time on the same synthetic tick. Max 5 copiers per leader keeps signals clean. Copy-trade fees are virtual — nothing real changes hands.

Question 4

Do I risk my own money?

Accepted Answer

Never. Everything on Melian Dialogue happens on simulated virtual capital. Individual accounts are free forever — you never pay a bill, and there is no live retail-payout pool that could pull real money in or out of the platform.

Question 5

Who is this for?

Accepted Answer

Kenyan retail traders wanting to prove edge, aspiring Strategy Providers wanting to publish disciplined playbooks, CMA-regulated brokerages onboarding client rosters, and Ministry-of-Education institutions running trading curricula.

Question 6

What is a PWA?

Accepted Answer

A Progressive Web App — it runs in your phone browser but installs to your home screen like a native app. No Play Store, no App Store, no download queue. Fast on 3G.

Question 7

How do I sign up?

Accepted Answer

1. Tap Create free account on the landing page. 2. Enter your email + password. Optionally add your phone number for in-app alerts. 3. Save the 10 recovery codes we show you — that's the only way back in if you forget your password. 4. You're in — no ID upload, no selfie, no KYC review queue. Individual accounts are free forever, no card required.

Question 8

Do I need to link a broker or prop-firm account?

Accepted Answer

No. Melian Dialogue is a self-contained evaluation platform. Your account here is not connected to any external broker, MetaTrader, or live capital market. Everything runs on our simulated NSE + FX + Commodities + Options feed.

Question 9

Can I install it to my phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On Chrome / Safari: tap the browser menu → Add to Home Screen. The icon behaves like a native app afterward.

Question 10

Do you require KYC / ID upload?

Accepted Answer

No. Because we're a closed-loop simulator (virtual capital only, zero external money movement), traditional AML KYC obligations don't apply. Standard onboarding is email + password + recovery codes — under 30 seconds. Institutional (MoE / CMA) accounts are verified via their existing regulatory paperwork with the broker, not with Melian.

Question 11

What if I forget my password?

Accepted Answer

Use any of your 10 recovery codes we issued at signup on the /reset-password page — each one is single-use. If you've lost all 10 codes too, email info@meliandialogue.com and an admin will reset your account after ID verification. There is no email link or SMS OTP flow.

Question 12

Is there a delay in copied trades?

Accepted Answer

Copies fire on the same simulated tick as the Leader — under 1 second of internal latency. Because every user trades against the same synthetic tick engine, execution timing is identical for Leader and Copier by construction.

Question 13

Can I set a maximum loss limit?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and the platform enforces it automatically. Prop-firm rules apply to every account: Max daily drawdown: 5% of starting equity Max drawdown: 10% of starting balance (KES 100,000 on a KES 1,000,000 account). Not trailing. Minimum trading days: 5 unique days per evaluation Breach any of these and the account freezes pending review.

Question 14

How many positions can I hold?

Accepted Answer

Position limits are set per account and start at 3 concurrent open positions on the default individual account. Institutional-bundled traders may be granted higher limits by their broker or MoE admin from the agency dashboard.

Question 15

What happens when my account freezes?

Accepted Answer

Trading stops immediately. Balance snapshots for the leaderboard. You can appeal via info@meliandialogue.com or reset after the current evaluation window ends.

Question 16

Which asset classes can I trade?

Accepted Answer

130+ live-priced instruments on one KES-consolidated portfolio. Every symbol has an independent live-quote provider you can verify against Mansa Markets or FMP — no synthetic-only tickers: Pan-African Equities — Kenya NSE (SCOM, EQTY, KCB, EABL, COOP, ABSA, BAT, NCBA, SBIC, STANBIC, DTBK, JUB, BAMB, BRIT, IMH + Mansa's full listed universe), Tanzania DSE (CRDB, NMB, NICO, TCB + more), Uganda USE (SBU, UMEME, BATU + more), Rwanda RSE (BOK, BLR, IM + more), Ethiopia ESX (AWASH, ABAY, CBE) US Equities & ETFs — AAPL, MSFT, TSLA, NVDA, AMZN, GOOGL, META, SPY, VWO (FMP-quoted) Major Crypto — BTCUSD, ETHUSD, SOLUSD, BNBUSD, XRPUSD, ADAUSD, DOGEUSD Major FX — EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, USDCHF, AUDUSD, USDCAD Execution is a KES-denominated mock-trade simulator — real prices, virtual capital, virtual PnL. Trades and rule breaches are audited to CMA prop-firm evaluation standards. Universe grows automatically as Mansa lists new African stocks (hourly reconciliation, no code deploy required).

Question 17

Can I trade Forex (FX) on Melian Dialogue?

Accepted Answer

Yes — six major FX pairs, live-priced via FMP: Global majors — EURUSD · GBPUSD · USDJPY · USDCHF · AUDUSD · USDCAD All FX prices are pulled live from FMP's free tier. Trading is spot-only, no leverage — same conservative philosophy as our equity book. KES-quote pairs (USDKES, EURKES, GBPKES) were retired in Feb 2026 because no independent live provider quotes them — display FX conversions still use the live USDKES rate from open.er-api.com, that's separate from the tradable instrument list.

Question 18

How are FX and NSE profits combined in my portfolio?

Accepted Answer

One book. One KES-denominated equity. Every FX PnL is converted to Kenyan Shillings the moment it's realized (or floats, for open positions) via the current USDKES rate. Your 5% daily drawdown and 10% max drawdown apply to the combined portfolio — a loss on EURUSD counts exactly the same as a loss on SCOM against your budget.

Question 19

When is FX trading open? What about NSE?

Accepted Answer

NSE: 09:30 – 15:00 EAT (East Africa Time), Monday to Friday. Outside these hours the tape freezes at the last close. FX: 24×5 — opens Sunday 22:00 UTC, closes Friday 22:00 UTC. Weekends are closed for FX and positions freeze at Friday-close price. A market-hours indicator on the Terminal shows the live status for each asset class and, when closed, the next open time.

Question 20

Why doesn't Melian Dialogue use a real (live or delayed) NSE feed?

Accepted Answer

Three reasons, and all of them are deliberate: 1. CMA compliance by construction — because we consume zero real market data and users trade only virtual capital, we sit cleanly outside the licensed-brokerage regulatory perimeter. You are trading a realistic simulator, not a live market with a delay. 2. Fairness — every user on the platform, including copy-trade Leaders and their Copiers, trades the identical synthetic tick stream at identical timing. There is no informational edge to buy, cheat, or arbitrage. 3. Cost + reliability — real-market feed licensing is expensive and introduces upstream dependencies. Our synthetic engine is deterministic under test and can never go down because of a third-party outage. Our simulator is calibrated on real NSE volatility patterns — average daily range, spread behaviour under news bursts, sector correlations — so what you learn here transfers directly to real trading. But the tick prices you see are simulated. That is a feature, not a bug.

Question 21

How does the tick engine actually work?

Accepted Answer

Every price on Melian Dialogue is generated by our synthetic tick simulator, applying random-walk theory with three principles: Random Walk Core — the direction of each next tick is statistically independent of the past. Chart-pattern guessing has zero value; the platform forces you to compete on structural risk management. Volatility Clustering — real markets alternate between calm and turbulence. We scale each random step using historical NSE/FX volatility curves to mimic that behaviour. Order Execution Friction — synthetic spreads + dynamic slippage replace the perfect fills of a normal demo, giving you real market microstructure. Combined with strict prop-firm rules (5% daily, 10% max drawdown, minimum trading days), this turns paper trading into a high-pressure discipline trial.

Question 22

If the ticks are random, how is trading a skill?

Accepted Answer

Because the platform strips away prediction as a viable edge and forces you to compete on structural risk management. What we measure: Position sizing under a hard 10% max drawdown Reaction to volatility clustering — do you panic, over-leverage, or stay disciplined during localised shocks? Execution quality under synthetic spreads and friction Consistency across a minimum of 5 trading days Random ticks + fixed prop-firm rules = pure skill test.

Question 23

How much does it cost for individuals?

Accepted Answer

Free forever. No card required, no trial expiry, no downgrade. Individuals get the full trading terminal, 130+ live-priced instruments across Pan-African exchanges (NSE·DSE·USE·RSE·ESX) + US stocks + crypto + FX, Community feed, in-app inbox, PDF audit trail, and the public leaderboard.

Question 24

How do institutions subscribe?

Accepted Answer

Institutional / API access is by application, not self-serve signup. Apply at /apply with your organisation's details, use case, and regulatory affirmations — our team reviews for regulatory fit and IP protection before onboarding. Once approved, you get a 7-day free trial and self-service billing on the Obondo Metered Billing Engine: Obondo Standard — $4.99 per active user/month (1–200 monthly active users) Obondo Growth — $4.19 per active user/month (201–500 monthly active users) Obondo Scale — $3.49 per active user/month (501+ monthly active users) Your tier is set automatically by your current month's active-user count — no manual upgrade needed. Billing is metered (you only pay for users who actually trigger the API), not a flat seat licence.

Question 25

How do I pay once my application is approved?

Accepted Answer

Everything is self-service from your Obondo client dashboard — no manual bank transfer required. Buy Prepaid Slots (one-time card purchase via Stripe: $499→100 slots, $838→200 slots, $1,745→500 slots) and top up your Cash Buffer ($50/$100/$250/$500 presets) any time. Auto-refill and auto-top-up rules can be configured so you never get caught mid-cycle. Large institutional clients who need an invoice/bank-transfer arrangement instead can request one during application review.

Question 26

Do you accept M-Pesa, cards, or online payment processors?

Accepted Answer

Individuals: M-Pesa Paybill or Stripe Checkout (card/SEPA), same tier either way. Institutional / Obondo API clients: self-service Stripe card payments from your client dashboard (Prepaid Slots + Cash Buffer top-ups) once your application is approved. Large clients can request an invoice/bank-transfer arrangement during application review instead.

Question 27

Can I refer another institution and earn a discount?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every institution on the platform has a unique referral code (e.g. MELIAN-KMTECH-A7QK) visible on their agency dashboard. Share it with a school or broker you know — when they activate their annual plan, we automatically extend YOUR subscription by 60 days (or bank the credit for your next activation if you're not currently on annual/trial).

Question 28

Is my subscription a capital deposit?

Accepted Answer

No. It is a platform-access fee for software and infrastructure, paid only by institutions. It never sits in a trading wallet — it goes to Melian Dialogue Limited's operational account.

Question 29

Are there any payouts or prize pools?

Accepted Answer

No live cash payouts at this time. The platform is currently operating in a prestige-only mode — top-3 traders on any leaderboard criterion (Net Profit / Win Rate / Consistency) unlock a rank-personalised share card, but there is no monetary payout attached. Focus is on skill development and public ranking.

Question 30

How do referrals work?

Accepted Answer

Every account gets a unique referral code and an auto-generated OG share card. Referred sign-ups land straight onto the public leaderboard alongside you, so you can benchmark against people you actually know. Referrals build your community, not your billing balance — because individuals are free forever, there is no bill to skip.

Question 31

Who is Obondo?

Accepted Answer

Obondo — an AI-powered copilot that reads your open positions, floating PnL, drawdown state, and recently closed trades — then coaches you in English, Kiswahili, or authentic Nairobi Sheng. Obondo can review portfolio concentration, explain the Greeks, draw payoff diagrams, or narrate its answer aloud. Available to every seat on the Institutional tier.

Question 32

Can I use Obondo on the Free tier?

Accepted Answer

Obondo is institutional-tier only. Every individual account still has access to Kimani, our AI trading copilot in the bottom-right corner, which answers platform questions instantly.

Question 33

How do the Voice and Graph modes work?

Accepted Answer

Voice mode uses your browser's native text-to-speech (Web Speech API) — no external TTS service, no audio leaving your device. Graph mode parses fenced JSON blocks the AI emits and renders them inline as recharts charts (line, payoff diagram, yield curve, portfolio-weight pie). Both modes are toggled from the preferences bar at the top of the assistant page.

Question 34

What are the proactive Buy/Sell signals?

Accepted Answer

A rule-based scanner sweeps every institutional trader's portfolio every 5 minutes and fires signals when concentration, drawdown, option-expiry, or crypto-ballast conditions cross a threshold. Signals appear in the Assistant's inbox and can be opened for a full LLM-narrated rationale.

Question 35

Can I log in with my Google mail account?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can instantly log in using your Google mail account via Google Sign-In for a fast, passwordless experience.

Question 36

How do I reset my password or recover my account if I get locked out?

Accepted Answer

You can instantly regain entry using any of your 10 unique, single-use recovery codes generated at sign-up. Because we prioritize extreme security and identity privacy, we do not send password-reset links or SMS OTPs.

Question 37

What happens if I lose access to both my login method AND my 10 recovery codes?

Accepted Answer

To protect our community from account takeover fraud and network hijacking, we maintain a Zero-Trust architecture. We do not keep a master key to your account. If both elements are lost, the account is permanently inaccessible.

Question 38

Is my capital safe?

Accepted Answer

There is no retail capital to hold. Individual accounts never deposit money. Institutional / Obondo API clients pay a metered per-active-user fee via self-service Stripe card payments (Prepaid Slots + Cash Buffer) — funds never sit in a trading wallet.

Question 39

What about CMA regulation?

Accepted Answer

Melian Dialogue is a gamified prop-firm-style evaluation platform using virtual capital. We are not a licensed stockbroker or investment advisor. We are pursuing a formal CMA No-Action Letter to sit inside the Capital Markets Authority's innovation framework. Full disclaimer sits in every footer.

Question 40

How do you protect my identity and account?

Accepted Answer

Passwords are hashed with bcrypt (adaptive cost factor). Sessions use signed JWT tokens over HTTPS-only, delivered via httpOnly cookies. 10 single-use recovery codes are issued at signup — that's the only password-reset path. No email OTP flow, no SMS OTP flow, no third-party OAuth provider active at this time. Kenyan National IDs are validated via mock IPRS during launch; live IPRS is Phase 2.

Question 41

Can I delete my account and data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Email info@meliandialogue.com — full account + all associated data removed within 72 hours per Kenya Data Protection Act.

Question 42

How do I contact support?

Accepted Answer

Email: info@meliandialogue.com (reply within 24 business hours) Phone / WhatsApp: +254 758 004 013 (Mon–Fri, 09:00–18:00 EAT) In-app chat: tap the Kimani bubble bottom-right — instant answers for platform questions, escalates to a human when needed.

Question 43

Is this investment advice?

Accepted Answer

No. Melian Dialogue is a skill-evaluation and community platform. Nothing on it constitutes personal financial advice. Consult a CMA-licensed investment advisor before making real-market decisions.

Question 44

What is Behavioral Alpha?

Accepted Answer

Behavioral Alpha is the KES value Melian's cognitive guardrails and coaching prompts created for you over the last 30 days — measured against a shadow copy of your own trading that had no guardrails and against another shadow copy that traded at half your size. It is the answer to the question every prop-firm trader eventually asks: "How much money did discipline actually make me?" We show it in Kenyan Shillings on your Dashboard, decomposed into four attributions — entry quality, sizing quality, exit quality, and cognitive-state quality. We do not publish the formula or the internal weights — it is a coaching signal, not a leaderboard rank.

Question 45

How is Behavioral Alpha calculated? Show me the math.

Accepted Answer

We deliberately keep the exact formula private for two reasons: (1) it is a coaching signal meant to nudge behaviour, not a scoreboard to game, and (2) publishing the weights would let sophisticated users optimise for the metric instead of for their real edge. What we will tell you: every real trade you place spawns two "alt-you" shadow trades in a parallel counterfactual ledger — one with no stop-loss or take-profit, one at 50% size. When your real position closes, both shadows close at the same price. The KES delta between your real book and each shadow book, aggregated over 30 rolling days, is your Behavioral Alpha.

Question 46

What are the 11 Cognitive Layers?

Accepted Answer

A stack of 11 behavioural checks that run silently in the background of every session: 1. Fatigue — flight-time drift, cursor jitter, focus blurs 2. Revenge trading — rapid entries within 10 min of a losing close 3. FOMO clusters — 3+ rapid BUYs on one symbol in 2 min 4. Tilt early-warning — deletion bursts, rapid-fire orders after a loss 5. Overconfidence — winning streak plus 2×-median size 6. Herd bias — concentration in platform-wide trending symbols 7. Loss chasing — follow-on BUYs on an already-open losing long 8. Sunk-cost / disposition effect — losers held 3× longer than winners 9. Anchoring / concentration — >60% of open notional in one symbol 10. Confirmation bias — recent orders 85%+ in one asset class 11. Max 2% Risk Throttle — hard cap on per-trade risk Each layer produces a green / amber / red verdict. Ambers and reds trigger a coaching prompt from Obondo (institutional) or a soft nudge in the terminal (individual). Only Layer 11 is a hard gate — it can block an order.

Question 47

What does Layer 11 actually block?

Accepted Answer

Layer 11 is the one non-negotiable rule: no single trade can risk more than 2% of your account equity. If you send an order that breaches this ceiling — factoring in your entry, stop-loss, and quantity — the platform returns a 403 with the exact numbers (risk KES, max allowed KES, risk %, max %) and refuses to place the order. Admins bypass it. Sells (closes) always pass. This is the layer that protects your Behavioral Alpha from a single tail event.

Question 48

Can I opt out of the guardrails?

Accepted Answer

Rules 2–10, yes. Rule 11 (the 2% throttle), no. On Settings › Cognitive Guardrails every non-hard rule has a toggle backed by a Dual-Key verification modal: you type a language-specific confirmation string (YES DISABLE, NDIO ZIMA, OUI DÉSACTIVER, تعطيل نعم, SIM DESATIVAR, NDIO ZIMA for Sheng) and confirm with your active session — both keys must match before the opt-out flips. Free-tier accounts always bypass Rule 3 (Dual-Rationale Gate) — no charge. There is also a Kill Switch that disables every opt-out-able rule in one go after the same dual-key confirmation. Every opt-out and every kill-switch event is written to the Compliance audit log and surfaced on the admin dashboard at /admin/compliance/layer11-audit — brokers and MoE admins can see who is trading unshielded before reviewing their evaluation. You cannot disable Rule 11; that limit stays regardless of tier.

Question 49

What is the Psychological Paystub?

Accepted Answer

A bi-weekly Dashboard card that summarises the same picture your bank statement would show a therapist: total Behavioral Alpha in KES, worst cognitive verdict of the fortnight, hours-of-fatigue-under-tilt, and count of Layer 11 blocks that saved you money. It is a mirror, not a scorecard — designed to make discipline visible.

Question 50

What behavioural telemetry do you collect and why?

Accepted Answer

With your consent (a modal fires on first login and can be revoked in Settings), the platform captures timing and geometric micro-signals only: keystroke flight time between presses, deletion bursts, cursor velocity variance over 500-ms windows, click cadence, and focus/blur transitions. We do not capture what you type, where you click, or which pages you visit. The batches are debounced, sanitised, and TTL-deleted from the database after 7 days. A per-user 60-minute rolling aggregate is what the Fatigue and Tilt layers actually read. Everything is anonymised for the research export.

Question 51

Do you sell my data or share it with brokers?

Accepted Answer

No third-party sale. We publish a de-identified research export of aggregate cognitive-state statistics (never individual traces) for academic partners registered under Kenya's Data Protection Act. Institutional admins (MoE / CMA) can see per-seat cognitive verdicts for the traders they onboarded — because they are legally responsible for those seats' evaluation. Individual retail accounts are visible only to the account holder and Melian's super-admin.

Question 52

What is the counterfactual (OAP) ledger?

Accepted Answer

OAP = Observed Alternative Path. For every real trade you open, we spawn two shadow trades in a private ledger: (1) the same trade with no stop-loss or take-profit (the "no guardrail" alt-you), (2) the same trade at 50% size (the "half size" alt-you). When your real position closes, both shadows close at the same market price, respecting their own SL/TP bounds where applicable. The KES delta between real and shadow — good or bad — is what feeds Behavioral Alpha. It is the reason we can quote your discipline in shillings instead of vibes.

Question 53

In which languages does Obondo coach me?

Accepted Answer

Six languages, dynamically selected from your Settings › Preferences: English, Kiswahili, Nairobi Sheng, French, Arabic, Portuguese. Arabic automatically flips the whole interface to RTL. Voice interventions (Web Speech API, on-device only) speak in the matching BCP-47 locale. Kimani (the rule-based FAQ bot) speaks whatever you write to it in.

Question 54

Is Melian Dialogue a financial brokerage or a fund management firm?

Accepted Answer

No. Melian Dialogue is an educational technology and data analytics platform. We do not execute trades on live financial markets, we do not provide investment advice, and we do not act as an intermediary for securities transactions. Our platform operates entirely as a closed, simulated software environment.

Question 55

Why doesn't Melian Dialogue require a licence from the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) of Kenya?

Accepted Answer

Our operations sit entirely outside the regulatory scope of the CMA due to three strict operational boundaries: Zero Client Funds — we never accept, hold, or manage user deposits for investment purposes. Individuals never pay us; institutions pay a metered software licence via self-service card payments, billed per active user. Purely Simulated Trading — all trading activities on the platform use virtual tokens within a demo environment. Zero Real Market Data — the platform consumes no live NSE feed. Prices are synthetic ticks generated by our own random-walk engine. Live execution, front-running, and market manipulation are structurally impossible.

Question 56

What exactly do institutions pay for when they subscribe?

Accepted Answer

Approved institutional / API clients pay a metered fee on the Obondo Standard/Growth/Scale tiers (billed per active user, not a flat seat licence) for access to the multi-seat admin dashboard, private per-agency leaderboards, prepaid trader slots (100/200/500 depending on tier), configurable virtual capital, bulk CSV import, self-service API keys, and the Obondo AI Trading Assistant for every activated seat. The fee is a standard software-as-a-service (SaaS) licence for platform access — it is not an investment stake, a leverage deposit, or a margin payment.

Question 57

Does the platform require a Prize Competition Licence from the Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA)?

Accepted Answer

No. A Prize Competition Licence is triggered by schemes relying on chance or lotteries where entry fees are pooled to form the prize. Melian Dialogue does not require this permit because there is currently no live cash-prize pool — the platform operates in prestige-only mode. Leaderboard ranking earns rank-personalised share cards and public recognition, not cash.

Question 58

If a user loses all their virtual funds in the simulation, are they liable for real financial losses?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. Because the entire trading ecosystem is a 100% simulated software environment using demo tokens, users carry zero real-world financial risk. A user's loss inside the dashboard has zero impact on their personal bank account.

Question 59

Can the subscription fee be refunded?

Accepted Answer

Individuals never pay and therefore have nothing to refund. Institutional / Obondo API billing is metered and prepaid: buying a Prepaid Slot package permanently raises your monthly active-user capacity (it doesn't expire or need repurchasing), and Cash Buffer top-ups add funds that are drawn down by your actual metered usage each cycle. Both are one-time card charges via Stripe and are not refundable once purchased.

Question 60

Why does Melian Dialogue not connect to a live NSE feed?

Accepted Answer

The use of a fully synthetic tick simulator (rather than live or delayed real data) is a deliberate structural guardrail to keep our platform strictly educational. Real-time feeds create an environment mirror to live financial brokerages. By generating our own ticks calibrated on historical volatility patterns, we ensure our platform cannot be exploited for live market speculation, algorithmic arbitrage, or real-time trading signals — cementing our status as a purely educational utility.

Question 61

Can a user pay a higher subscription fee to gain an advantage in the simulator?

Accepted Answer

No. To preserve the integrity of our analytics and ensure a level playing field, all participants in the simulated trading environment start with the same fixed allocation of virtual tokens (KES 1,000,000 for individual accounts, non-adjustable; institutions may configure up to KES 2 M per seat) and must follow identical risk parameters. Institutional subscriptions unlock the admin dashboard and the AI Trading Assistant — never a competitive advantage in the simulator itself.

Question 62

Does Melian Dialogue provide personalised stock recommendations or trading advice?

Accepted Answer

No. Melian Dialogue is strictly an informational and educational software platform. The data analytics, charts, and forum content we host are for educational and research purposes only. Users are solely responsible for formulating their own simulated strategies, and no content on the platform should be construed as financial advice or an endorsement of any NSE security.

Question 63

Who legally owns the data generated during the simulation?

Accepted Answer

According to our Terms of Service, while users retain ownership over their unique individual comments in the forum, Melian Dialogue retains exclusive rights to the aggregated trading data, statistical performance patterns, and algorithmic metrics generated within the simulated environment. This data is used internally to optimise our platform's analytical software.

Question 64

Is Melian Dialogue registered as a corporate entity in Kenya?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Melian Dialogue is incorporated through the Business Registration Service (BRS) as a private limited liability company — Melian Dialogue Limited. Our registered corporate objectives focus on software development, data analytics provisioning, IT consultancy, and the management of online educational communities — aligning perfectly with our unlicensed but fully compliant business model.
