This is the most important page on Djembely. Please read all of it. You will also see the same main message in many places across the product, not just here.
Who we are
Djembely is owned and run by Melian Dialogue Limited (the "Company"). The Company is a private limited company set up in the Republic of Kenya.
Registered Office: P.O. Box B1003, Urban Oasis Apartments, Kingara Road, Lavington, Nairobi.

Djembely is a simulation
Djembely is a learning tool. It lets you practise trading with real market data, but the trading itself is pretend. The main data supplier is EODHD. Other suppliers are listed further down this page.
Djembely is not a trading account. It is not a broker (a firm that buys and sells for you). It is not a regulated place where real trades happen.
No real money is ever traded on Djembely. This is true on every tier, at any time. You start with virtual money, which is GBP 10,000 or an equivalent amount in your region's currency. All positions, balances, order fills (when a practice order is matched) and profit-and-loss figures are virtual. No real orders are sent anywhere. There is no leverage (borrowing to trade bigger). We do not promise any returns.
There is no path from virtual trading to real trading, and there never will be. This is a core part of how Djembely is built. It is not a temporary limit.
You must be 18 or over to use Djembely.
How practice trades work
Djembely never stops you from sending a practice trade because of risk limits, losses, tilt warnings (nudges that you may be trading on emotion) or coaching prompts. You may see a warning or a tip, but the choice is yours.
There is one exception. A short sale means selling something you do not own. It must be funded first with collateral (money set aside as a safety deposit). The collateral is the larger of 25% of the position or GBP 1,000, at today's exchange rate. If a short sale is not funded, it is declined.
Nothing here is financial advice
Nothing on Djembely is financial advice. Nothing on Djembely tells you to buy, sell or hold any real asset. This covers the AI Co-Pilot's analysis, the Autotrader, the BeCo Index, the leaderboard, copy-trade activity and the education library.
Djembely does not claim to prepare you for real-world trading results. We do not say that skill shown in the simulation will carry over to real markets.
About the BeCo Index
The BeCo Index is a score for trading discipline. It comes from the BeCo Engine, which uses a patented maths model on the telemetry (the activity data) from your virtual trading. It also uses your answers to the Behavioural baseline questionnaire and the Live Intent questionnaire.
It is a product feature. It is not a proven clinical or psychological test. Do not read it as a diagnosis, or as a judgement of your abilities as a person.
Past practice results do not predict real-world trading results. This includes virtual profit, a BeCo Index score and a leaderboard position.
About Co-Pilot content
The Co-Pilot is our AI assistant. You can type or speak to it, and you can type or speak a trade (prompt-to-trade). It uses OpenAI GPT 6 Luna through the Company's own account. If that is not available, it uses the Emergent universal key as a backup. Voice uses OpenAI speech-to-text and text-to-speech.
What the Co-Pilot shows you is a mix of two things. The first is plain facts worked out by ordinary computer code. One example is your stop distance compared with the ATR band (a measure of how much a price usually moves). Another is which process/outcome quadrant a closed trade falls into. The second is an explanation written by AI on top of those facts.
The facts come from your real telemetry. The wording around them is written by an AI model. AI answers can be wrong, so please check them. See the AI Transparency page to find out exactly which parts are which.
About the Autotrader
The Autotrader is for practice only. It can run automated virtual trades in up to 5 slots. Auto-Discovery runs scans on weekdays on a schedule. Within your settings, it can suggest instruments or add them for you.
Each decision joins several signals into one confidence score. The signals are:
Every trade and recommendation has a plain-English rationale log. It shows each signal, how much weight it had and where the data came from.
Backtests (tests of an idea on old prices) use past prices only. They do not predict the future. A strong backtest does not mean a strategy will work again.
- ·price and volume;
- ·financial news and sentiment (the mood of the news) from EODHD;
- ·company events, such as dividends, earnings dates, price-to-earnings figures and profit figures;
- ·the EODHD economic calendar, which includes interest-rate decisions and inflation; and
- ·for African shares, company announcements from Mansa Markets.
About market data
Djembely uses data from several suppliers:
Data can be late, missing or wrong. We do not promise that any price, news item or figure is correct or up to date.
For African exchanges, Mansa Markets may give price history going back several years, where their plan allows. If there is a short gap of up to 3 trading days, we fill it in and mark it as filled.
- ·EODHD for prices, company figures, news and the economic calendar;
- ·Mansa Markets for African exchanges;
- ·Coinpaprika for crypto data; and
- ·Alpaca for paper-trading data (paper trading means practice trading).
About data sources you connect yourself
You can connect more outside data sources through the Data Source Marketplace. This is on top of Djembely's built-in EODHD link. Each source you connect runs on that provider's own free tier (its free plan). The provider decides how accurate it is, how complete it is, how quickly it updates (latency), and how reliable it is and how often it is working (uptime). Djembely does not check, guarantee or correct the data a connected source sends back.
If a connected source is late, has gaps or is wrong, that comes from the provider's free-tier feed. It is not a fault in Djembely. This is how outside connections work. When you connect a source, you choose to rely on that provider on the same free-tier terms as anyone else who uses it.
This matters most for Price Data connectors, because they feed practice order fills directly. An old or late price from a connected source changes how realistic a practice fill is. It would change a real trader's fill in the same way if they used that same free-tier feed.
Djembely's default EODHD data is not affected by this section. It applies only to sources you choose to connect.
Languages
Djembely is available in seven languages: English, Spanish, French, Swahili, Sheng, Luganda and Kinyarwanda. The translations are first drafted by AI, so they may have mistakes. If a translation and the English version say different things, the English version is the one that counts.
Recent updates
Rewards such as feedback prizes (£500) and the Live Intent thank-you (£1,000) are virtual capital only. They have no cash value and cannot be taken out as money.
Djembely is a virtual learning platform for practice only. No real money is ever traded. This is not financial advice.
