Welcome
What is Meaterm?
Meaterm is a professional trading analysis platform. We do not execute orders. We help you research markets, monitor macro conditions, study positioning data, and pressure-test scenarios before you trade elsewhere.
The product has two surfaces:
- The marketing site at
meaterm.com— pricing, features, signup, billing, and the support area you’re reading now. - The web terminal at
meaterm.com/terminal— the actual analysis app. Charts, COT positioning, fundamentals, watchlist, risk engine, etc.
Everything runs in the browser. No download required, and there is no desktop app. If you prefer a window of its own, install Meaterm as a web app from Chrome, Edge or Safari: the steps are on the install page. It is the same web terminal.
Who is it for?
Active traders, prop-firm and prop-style discretionary traders, retail systematic traders, and analysts who want institutional-grade data without paying institutional prices. If you chart on TradingView and want the macro, COT positioning and fundamentals read together, across markets, in one workspace, that’s where Meaterm sits.
Getting started
Creating an account
Head to meaterm.com/signup. You can sign up with email + password, or with Google / GitHub via OAuth. New accounts start on the Free plan, which needs no card. Pro has no free trial: a paid subscription is charged when you check out.
Validation rules on signup:
- Email must be a real, non-disposable address (we reject mailinator, guerrilla, etc.).
- Password 8–72 characters.
- Cloudflare Turnstile captcha on submit (no friction unless you’re flagged as suspicious).
After submitting you’ll get a confirmation email. Click the link to activate. The link expires after 24 hours — request a new one from the login page if it lapses.
Logging in
meaterm.com/login. Email + password, SSO (Google / GitHub), or phone-OTP. Two-factor authentication via TOTP authenticator app is supported and strongly recommended — set it up under Profile → Two-factor authentication.
Forgot your password? Use the password reset flow. Sessions persist across the marketing site and the web terminal — sign in once, both surfaces recognise you.

The web terminal
Terminal layout — desktop vs mobile
Open the terminal at meaterm.com/terminal. The layout adapts to your viewport.
Desktop (≥ 900 px wide):
- Top bar — logo, full-text search box (⌘K to focus), regime chip (RISK-ON / RISK-OFF / NEUTRAL), connection status, clock, account avatar.
- Left rail — vertical icon nav with every primary destination one click away. Click the chevron at the bottom to expand it with labels.
- Tab bar — TradingView-style workspace tabs across the top. Drag to reorder, click × to close. The
+button opens the “new tab” landing page. - Main content area — the active page renders here.
- Right sidebar — your watchlist with sparklines and live prices.
Mobile (< 900 px wide):
- Top bar — logo + live indicator + regime chip + a search icon. The search icon opens a fullscreen search overlay.
- Bottom tab bar — Home / Macro / Charts / Markets / More. The “More” tab opens a bottom sheet with the rest of the pages plus profile / billing / sign out.
- No sidebar — the watchlist is reachable via the search overlay.
Search & open a ticker
Press ⌘K (Mac) or Ctrl-K (Windows) to focus the search from anywhere. Type a symbol or company name. Filter by category — Stocks, ETFs, Indices, Crypto, Forex, Futures.
Tap a result to open the Ticker Workspace for that symbol — chart hero, KPI strip, regression, news, analysis, analyst consensus, fundamentals all under one roof.
The search universe contains the ~200 most-liquid US-listed instruments. If your ticker isn’t in the list, type it anyway and press Enter — Meaterm will try to load market data.
Dashboard
The home page of the terminal. Shows the macro driver strip (8 tiles: 10Y, 10Y-2Y spread, VIX, HY OAS, HYG/LQD, RSP/SPY, US dollar (the Fed's broad index), WTI), active warnings (curve inversion, credit stress, breadth fragility, VIX spikes), live regime call, and a markets ribbon.
Each tile is clickable — clicking VIX takes you straight to the Macro page filtered on volatility; clicking US 10Y opens the rates view. Sparklines under each metric show the last ~40 weekly observations.
Macro intelligence
Pulls FRED time-series, ICE / CBOE data, and market composites. You see:
- Yields (US / EU / JP) with weekly resolution.
- Curve shape (10Y-2Y, 5Y-2Y) with inversion flagging.
- Credit spreads (HY OAS, HYG/LQD ratio).
- Volatility surface (VIX, MOVE, OVX).
- Liquidity proxies (M2, WALCL).
- Inflation expectations (5Y5Y break-evens, T10YIE).
Free tier: Macro is open to everyone (macroIntelligence is a Free feature); only the Sovereign tab inside it is Pro. Each card has an interpretation line that tells you what the value means in plain English (e.g. “HY OAS at 2.4% — well below 3.5% panic threshold, credit calm”).
Charts
TradingView-style chart with candlesticks, volume, and full drawing tools. Indicators available: SMA / EMA, Bollinger, RSI, MACD, Stochastic, ATR, VWAP, OBV. Scroll the wheel to zoom; left-drag to pan.
Multi-timeframe. Hit the timeframe selector for 1m / 5m / 15m / 1h / 4h / 1d / 1w / 1M. The chart canvas is always full-width; on mobile it scales to your viewport.
Pro tier. Free users see a basic chart with one indicator and 3-month range cap.
Markets (Polymarket signals)
Live cross-market intelligence built on top of Polymarket’s public CLOB. The page shows:
- The top liquid markets ordered by volume.
- Order book depth and recent trades for any market you click.
- Deep scan — runs a multi-factor analysis on the top liquid markets: volume spike multiplier vs the recent baseline, BUY/SELL direction shift, wallet-cluster confirmation, cross-market alignment with BTC / ETH / VIX / /ES / gold. Markets that pass 3 of 4 conditions get a STRONG signal, 1 or 2 conditions get a WEAK signal.
- Whale tape — identifies the top wallets in each market by notional, with a per-wallet entry-edge accuracy proxy and a pump-dump heuristic.
Part of Pro (eventProbabilities in the plan matrix). Free sees the six highest-volume markets and a 3-market deep scan.
News flow
Aggregated headlines, categorised by asset class (equities / FX / crypto / commodities / macro). Filter by ticker, source, and time window. Each item links to the original.
Free tier sees the last 24 hours; Pro (and accounts that already have Premium) see 30+ day history with full search.
Screener
Filter the curated universe of US-listed names by market cap, sector, P/E, fundamental quality, technical setup, and more.
Free tier ships a basic Screener; Pro unlocks the full filter set, saved presets, and shareable scans.
Risk calculator
The risk page combines:
- Crash-risk score (0–100) derived from VIX, credit spreads, breadth, curve.
- Sector breadth heat map.
- Volatility surface (skew, term structure).
- Auto-raised flags — e.g. “Credit stress”, “Curve inverted”, “Breadth fragile” trigger automatically when thresholds are crossed.
Free tier (riskEngine is a Free feature).
COT positioning
Weekly Commitment of Traders (COT) data across futures contracts. Traders classified into Commercial (hedgers), Non-commercial (speculators), and Non-reportable (small specs).
Per contract you get net positions over time, percentile vs trailing windows, extreme positioning flags, and a sparkline. Click a contract for a deeper view with weekly changes, open interest, and reporter counts.
Pro tier (cotReport).
Portfolio
Track positions you hold elsewhere — Meaterm does not execute, so positions are tracked, not held. Manual entry or CSV upload. Dashboards cover total exposure, gross/net, sector breakdown, currency split, top winners/losers.
Free shows the basic view; Pro unlocks the full Portfolio (deeper analytics, unlimited positions).
Global indicators
Country-level macro snapshots: GDP growth, inflation, unemployment, central bank rate, budget deficit, debt-to-GDP. Sourced from FRED + IMF + central bank releases. Useful for cross-country comparisons or sanity-checking macro narratives.
Free tier shows a basic view; Pro unlocks the full set of countries and series.
Fundamentals
Per-ticker financials: revenue, EBITDA, FCF, gross / operating / net margins, ROE, net debt, leverage, dividend yield, P/E (trailing & forward), PEG, EV/EBITDA, 52-week high/low. Plus quarterly trends — the last 8 quarters of revenue / EBITDA / FCF.
Bundled with the Ticker workspace (Free tier shows the workspace; Pro unlocks advanced charts on the same ticker page).
Price alerts
Manage alerts at /dashboard/alerts. Add an instrument, condition (greater-than / less-than), and trigger price; the alert fires by email when the condition is met. In-app push is on the roadmap.
Account & billing
Profile & 2FA
Manage at /dashboard/profile. Edit name, country, timezone, language. Change email by contacting support (we re-verify the new address). Enable two-factor with any TOTP authenticator (Authy / 1Password / Google Authenticator / Bitwarden — they all work).
Billing & subscription
At /dashboard/billing you can:
- Upgrade / downgrade plan.
- Switch between monthly and annual (annual = ~2 months free).
- Update payment method.
- Cancel — access continues to the end of the current billing period.
- Download invoices.
Refunds: Full refund within 14 days of your first payment; renewals are not refunded. Contact support to request one; the full terms are in the Refund Policy.
Payments are processed by Stripe. We never store your card details on our servers.
Referrals
Every account has a personal referral link at /dashboard/referrals. When a friend signs up by email through it, their signup is recorded with your referral code. Referrals do not earn a reward or credit at the moment.
Power user tips
Keyboard shortcuts
⌘K/Ctrl-K— focus the search box (anywhere in the terminal)./— same as ⌘K when no input is currently focused.Esc— close any open dropdown / overlay.Tab/Shift-Tab— move focus between interactive elements (full keyboard accessible).Enter— activate the focused button / link / first search result.
Workspaces (tabs)
The horizontal tab bar above the content area works like a browser. Drag to reorder. Click × to close. The + button opens the “new tab” landing page where you pick what to add. Your tab layout persists inlocalStorage — refresh and you’re back where you left.
Watchlist
The right sidebar on desktop. Sections are user-defined (e.g. “Megacaps”, “FX majors”, “Crypto”) — drag tickers between sections, re-order with drag-and-drop. Sparklines refresh on a ~60-second cadence with Cloudflare edge cache on top.
Free tier is capped (your account’s live cap is shown in the watchlist header); Pro raises the cap to 100 symbols, and accounts that already have Premium are uncapped.
Troubleshooting
I see ‘Backend offline’ or no data anywhere
99% of the time this is the upstream data source rate-limiting. Wait 30 seconds and hard-refresh (Cmd-Shift-R / Ctrl-Shift-R). If it persists for more than a few minutes:
- Check our status page — it shows the latest check of the services Meaterm depends on: the database and sign-in, market prices, company profiles, macro and COT data, payments and the AI assistant.
- If status is green but the terminal disagrees, sign out and sign back in to refresh your session token.
- Still broken? Email support@meaterm.com with the symbol you were viewing. We reply by email as soon as we can.
iOS Safari zooms in when I focus an input
That should not happen anywhere in the app — every input is sized 16 px+ which is Safari’s threshold for not auto-zooming. If you do see it, screenshot the page and contact support; it’s a bug.
Pages look shifted / not centered on mobile
We applied a global mobile centering rule that constrains every section to the viewport with proper gutters. If a specific page still looks off, screenshot the page + your device + browser and email it to hello@meaterm.com.
I can’t sign in
- Confirm you’re using the email you signed up with (case-insensitive).
- If you signed up via Google/GitHub, use the same OAuth button — password auth won’t work for OAuth-only accounts.
- Try the password reset flow if you suspect the password.
- If you see “Invalid login credentials” repeatedly, your account may have been temporarily locked after too many failed attempts. Wait 15 minutes and try again.
- Two-factor enabled? Make sure your authenticator’s clock is in sync with real time — drift > 30 seconds breaks TOTP.
