Educational use, terms & privacy

Educational purpose and regulatory status

MCX Control is an education project and is not registered with SEBI as an investment adviser, research analyst or stock broker. No SEBI approval, endorsement or investor-protection entitlement is claimed.

The portal does not offer stock tips, personalized investment advice, research recommendations or real-money execution. Posts, strategies and private conversations must be educational discussions. BUY/SELL labels, entries, targets and stops are simulation variables, not instructions to trade. A disclaimer does not turn an actual recommendation or advisory service into education.

Market investments carry risk, including loss of capital. Derivatives and leveraged products can produce substantial losses. Simulated performance, virtual profits and examples do not predict actual results. Obtain appropriate advice from a SEBI-registered professional for investment decisions; independently check their registration.

Terms of educational use

Use the portal only to learn and practise with virtual funds. No real exchange orders are placed by the paper terminal. Virtual balances and simulated profits have no cash value and cannot be withdrawn. There are no promised returns or cash prizes for performance.

Do not use the portal to solicit investments, sell tips or signals, manage another person’s trading account, collect investment capital, promise profits, impersonate a registered intermediary or solicit passwords and OTPs. The platform is not a channel for off-platform trading arrangements.

Content may be inaccurate, incomplete or unavailable. Simulated fills may differ from executable market prices, costs, liquidity and real trading conditions. You remain responsible for your conduct; these terms do not exclude statutory rights or duties.

Content and data rules

Publish hypothetical exercises with fictional prices, or historical educational examples with an identified data date and source. Do not present live or recent security-specific targets as education. The composer requires educational-use confirmation and rejects historical dates less than 30 days old. A user-supplied date is not independent verification of the data.

Contact numbers are prohibited in public posts. New posts are text-only. Do not evade the rules with obfuscation, misleading claims, repeated promotions or requests to move to paid-tip groups. Respect others’ privacy and copyright. The operator may remove content and restrict accounts for violations, subject to applicable law.

SEBI’s 8 May 2026 circular provides a 30-day lag for sharing and use of price data for educational purposes, effective 1 July 2026. It also addresses data-sharing agreements, misuse controls and audit trails. These requirements cannot be satisfied merely by adding this notice. Read the SEBI circular.

Premium membership and Verified badges

Premium is a platform membership and profile-display feature. It does not purchase investment advice, stock tips, guaranteed replies, returns or regulatory protection. Private chat is for educational questions only.

Verified means a community profile has been approved by the operator. It is not SEBI registration, KYC certification, a professional qualification, evidence of trading skill or an endorsement of posts. Premium and Verified are independent.

Payments are arranged manually. Before paying, obtain the operator’s legal identity, total price, membership duration, inclusions and written cancellation/refund terms. Do not pay to an unverified recipient. Public pricing, refund terms and business/contact details have not yet been supplied for publication.

Privacy notice

The portal processes account details, email verification status and optional phone numbers, authentication records, public profiles, posts and replies, reactions, follows, reports, membership status, private messages and paper-trading records. Email, phone numbers and trading-account data are not part of public profiles. Public posts, replies and profile photos can be viewed by others.

Our configured email provider delivers verification codes for registration, sign-in and password recovery. Phone numbers are optional; SMS verification is not used. The configured database stores community and account records. Private chats are restricted through the app to their participants and are not end-to-end encrypted. Operator and infrastructure access remains possible. Text drafts use browser session storage; login tokens use local storage. When configured and allowed through Analytics preferences, optional Google Analytics measures public learning page visits using canonical URLs; account pages, search queries, messages and trading records are excluded. You can change your choice through Analytics preferences. No measurement ID is enabled by default. Optional advertising uses Google AdSense and may use cookies or related technologies when enabled.

You can edit your profile and remove your own posts and replies from public view. Administrators can remove inappropriate posts and replies. Removing content is a visibility change and does not necessarily erase stored records or copies. A documented retention schedule and a public account/deletion-request contact must be finalized before public launch. Do not share sensitive identity documents, financial credentials or OTPs in posts or chat.

Reporting and unresolved launch requirements

Use a post’s options menu → Report post for misleading recommendations, solicitation, harassment or other violations. Moderators can review reports and remove posts. A public support/grievance address and verified legal operator details have not yet been provided. This notice does not claim that an off-platform grievance process is in place.

The live-price paper terminal and its data licence require a separate regulatory and provider-permission review. Do not treat the existence of this website, these terms or its badges as evidence of compliance. Consult an Indian securities-law professional before public launch or monetization.
