Software licence terms
Note
This is a summary. The binding documents are the terms and conditions and the privacy statement for the software as PDFs, both in version 1.1, August 2026.
Subject matter
The Winkler Trading Station is an analysis and operating tool for order flow. It displays market data, manages drawings, alerts and strategy signals, and forwards orders triggered by the user to a trading connection of the user's choosing or to the built-in paper trading book.
It is not investment advice, not a recommendation and not a promise about trading results. The provider is neither a broker nor an asset manager, investment adviser or financial services institution; no accounts are held, no funds are accepted and no orders are executed in the provider's own name.
Right of use
The user receives a simple, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the software as intended for the term of the contract. One account entitles the holder to use it on one machine; to enforce that, a machine identifier is formed at sign-in and counted. If the user changes machines, the provider releases the seat on request.
Not permitted: passing on access credentials, sharing an account beyond the agreed seats, sublicensing, renting out and reselling. Reverse engineering is permitted only within the limits of section 69e UrhG; copyright notices may not be removed.
Access and activation
Access is granted individually. The contract comes about when an account is activated and the user signs in for the first time; at that point the user confirms the terms and acknowledges the privacy statement. Without that confirmation the sign-in is not carried out.
The feature set is unlocked per account. Individual parts — in particular receiving the prepared AI analyses — are a separately agreed and revocable additional right. An account may be run as a trial account; real-money trading, account switching, the strategies and parts of the market selection are then unavailable, and the station says so. This does NOT mean the fourteen-day trial offered on this site: that one leads to an ordinary account (terms, clause 2).
Term
The contract runs for an indefinite period and may be terminated by either side with 14 days' notice to the end of a month. For contracts concluded through this website, term and cancellation follow clause 3b of this website's terms. When the contract ends the right of use lapses; installed copies are to be deleted.

Where this summary and the PDF versions conflict, the PDF versions apply.
One exception, and it matters. For contracts concluded through this website the terms prevail as far as they govern prices, VAT, payment, the trial, the term, cancellation and withdrawal (terms, clause 1). This concerns the purchase above all: the seller and contract partner is CopeCart GmbH, which also issues the invoice and shows the VAT; the prices stated are final prices. If the binding version says otherwise, the sentence from the terms applies to your purchase on this site.
