After successfully completing the Quant Funded evaluation process, you will never have to risk your own capital as we cover all losses. This change can bring about a positive psychological shift and help you achieve consistent trading results.

2. Evaluation Process

To become a Quant Funded Trader, you must successfully complete our two-step Evaluation Process.


Step 1: (Quant Funded Challenge) Evaluation Phase 1

During this stage, you will be provided with an Evaluation demo account where you need to adhere to our trading rules. You will have access to the Quant Funded Challenge offering superior account conditions. If you meet all the requirements, you will proceed to (Phase 2), the final step of the evaluation.


Step 2: (Verification) Evaluation Phase 2

In this stage, you will use an Evaluation demo account with Quant Funded, to validate your performance and consistency one last time. The rules in Phase 2 Evaluation are considerably easier. For a detailed explanation of the rules, please refer to the Trading Objectives site.


Once you successfully pass the Phase 2 Evaluation, you will be eligible to become a Quant Funded Trader after we review your trading activities. To finalize the contract for your Quant Funded Account, we will require you to submit an identification document (such as a passport, national ID card, or driving license) and complete the identification process. The conclusion of the contract depends on the completion of identification procedures in line with Quant Funded's internal policies. Please note that Quant Funded does not offer services to individuals on sanction lists, individuals with a history of financial crime or terrorism, individuals under the age of 18, company trusts, or individuals previously banned due to a breach of a Quant Funded Account Agreement. If any of these reasons are discovered after the conclusion of a Quant Funded Account Agreement, Quant Funded reserves the right to terminate the contract.


It is important to note that we do not grant a Quant Funded Account solely based on past track records.

In order to successfully complete the Phase 1 Quant Funded Evaluation, a minimum of five trading days is required, without the need for consecutive trading. Likewise, the Phase 2 Quant Funded Evaluation also requires a minimum of five trading days, which do not need to be consecutive. It is not necessary to wait for the entire duration of the Evaluation Process. Overall, it is possible to begin managing your Quant Funded Account within a remarkably short period of ten trading days.

Upon successful completion of all the Trading Objectives in the (QF Challenge) Phase 1 Quant Funded Evaluation, you will receive a notification in your Account Dashboard , and your email inbox indicating your achievement. Once your Trading Objectives have been marked as passed, there is no further requirement to engage in trading activities for the account. Our system will automatically notify us of your successful completion of the (QF Challenge) Phase 1 Quant Funded Evaluation, allowing us to proceed with evaluating your trading results accordingly. Subsequently, we will provide you with the new account login credentials for the (Verification) Phase 2 Evaluation.

No, changing the trading account platform login credentials or password is strictly prohibited at Quant Funded. Altering the credentials can disrupt our ability to monitor and validate your trading performance. Any unauthorized change to your login details may result in a violation of the Challenge and Rules, potentially disqualifying you from further participation in the program.

Even if your account reaches the profit target, it will not be eligible to proceed to the next phase if it violates any trading objectives at any point.

In the event that any of the Trading Objectives are breached, the associated account will be automatically invalidated and will no longer be eligible to continue in the Evaluation Course. Should the breach occur on your Quant Funded Account, the corresponding Quant Funded Account Agreement will be terminated. However, if you wish to pursue a career as our Quant Funded Trader, you have the option to start afresh and request a brand new QF Challenge. It is important to note that if you violate the Trading Objectives, the initial fee paid for the Quant Funded Evaluation will be forfeited so be sure to stay safe and respect the rules. Therefore, it is crucial to prioritize safety and adhere to the rules. On the other hand, if you manage to respect all the Trading Objectives without any violations, you will have an unlimited trading period to successfully complete the evaluation.

In the Quant Funded Account, you will trade with the same account balance that was used during the evaluation. For example, if you traded with $200,000 in the evaluation, you will manage a Quant Funded Account with a balance of $200,000. It is important to note that all accounts provided to our clients are demo accounts with virtual funds. However, once you become a Quant (Funded) Trader, you will receive login credentials for a demo account that is connected to our Proprietary Trading Firm's live trading account, generating real cash flow. Clients are entitled to up to 80% of the profits generated on the Quant Funded Account. This arrangement simplifies administration and allows us greater flexibility in actively managing risk.


If you desire to trade with a higher account balance, you can apply for an additional QF Challenge and trade multiple accounts. Each evaluation must be traded from the beginning, regardless of progress on other accounts. To mitigate risk and exposure, we allocate a maximum capital of $400,000 per trader or per strategy at any given time. This can be divided into multiple accounts, such as two accounts with $200,000 each or four accounts with $100,000 each, and so on. It is important to refrain from obtaining multiple accounts through multiple registrations. If we discover identical trading strategies across various accounts that exceed the allocated capital value of $400,000, we reserve the right to suspend those accounts according to the Terms and Conditions.

3. Rules

We have set two different loss limits. Max daily loss (5%) and Max Overall Loss (10%).

When calculating the loss limits. Maximum total loss means that if your account is $100,000, your equity cannot fall below $90,000. 


Maximum daily loss means that you can lose $5,000 of your equity/balance on $100,000 account in one day. For example if your account has a Drawdown of $5,000 on the same day after 00:00:00 (midnight) CET - Central European Time, the Max Daily loss rule will violate the 5% Max Daily Loss rule.

The Maximum Daily Loss is the amount you are allowed to lose every day. For the purpose of this rule, the higher value between equity and balance will be used to calculate the 5% Max Daily loss. This rule is set as a % of the highest equity or balance of every day. The rule states that the equity of the day, which is the result of the currently floating PnL (Profit and Loss) in sum with all closed positions of that day must not hit the Maximum Daily Loss Limit.

Example:
You have a funded account. At the start of day 5, your account equity/balance is $105.000 and your equity is $107.000 during the day. The Daily Loss Limit is 5% from the starting equity for this example, this means that your equity on day 5 can't go lower than: Maximum Daily loss = $107.000 starting equity balance * 5% Daily Loss Limit = $5,000 Daily Loss Limit. $107.000 starting equity balance on day 5 - $5,000 Daily Loss Limit= $102,000 If your equity goes below $102,000 at any certain moment of time on day 5 your account will be closed.


The maximum daily loss will be reset to 0:00 MetaTrader platform server time. How we calculate it? We check your capital at 0:00 MetaTrader Platform server time and it should not fall more than 5% of your initial deposit in one day. You can monitor your allowable loss today in your client dashboard. It will be updated in real time.

The minimum requirement for passing (QF Challenge) Phase 1 of the Quant Funded Evaluation is to trade for at least 4 trading days (these do not have to be consecutive).


The minimum requirement for passing the (Verification) Phase 2 Quant Funded Evaluation is also that you have traded for at least 4 trading days (these do not have to be consecutive).


However, you also have an unlimited time to pass Phase 1 and Phase 2.


All in all, you can start managing your Quant Funded account in as little as 8 trading days.

At Quant Funded, we understand that market conditions are not always favorable for traders. If you demonstrate good trading skills and are able to manage risk effectively without violating our loss limits, we offer you an unlimited time to successfully complete our Evaluation program.

Trading Platform Login Credentials:
Changing the trading account platform login credentials or password is strictly prohibited at Quant Funded. Altering the credentials can disrupt our ability to monitor and validate your trading performance. Any unauthorized change to your login details may result in a violation of the Challenge and Evaluation Rules, potentially disqualifying you from further participation in the program.

IP Address matching on Evaluation and Funded Stage:
The region of your IP address(es) used to purchase the Evaluation, log in to www.QuantFunded.com during the Evaluation Process, the Quant Funded Account should match and remain consistent. If our Risk Department detects a change in region, they may reach out to you to confirm and request supporting evidence of the reason of changing your trading activity location.

IP Address on Quant Funded Account:
The region of your IP address(es) used to log into the Quant Funded Account must remain consistent. If our Risk Department detects a change in region, they may reach out to you to confirm and request proof, such as a flight ticket, passport stamp, or live video from the location. This measure is in place to protect you from third-party vendors and unauthorised access to your Quant Funded account. If you anticipate traveling, kindly notify our support team beforehand to keep us informed and prevent interference from our end.

After successfully passing our evaluation program, you will receive your refund with your first profit split from the Quant Funded account.

You have the freedom to trade a wide range of financial instruments, including all forex pairs, indices, metals, cryptocurrencies and oil. This extensive selection gives you the opportunity to explore different markets and diversify your trading portfolio according to your preferences and strategies.

The trader must make a profit of 10% in the (QF Challenge) Phase 1, and a profit of 5% in (Verification) Phase 2 without violating the allowable loss limits. Remember that you must close all your positions before moving to the next Stage in the Evaluation Course.

At Quant Funded, we recognise the desire of traders to utilise trading robots (Expert Advisors - EAs) for automating their trading strategies and enhancing their overall trading experience. We permit the usage of EAs on all our accounts, regardless of the stage of the evaluation process. We prioritise your trading style and offer the flexibility to use EAs according to your preferences.


However, it's important to note that if you choose to use a third-party EA, there is a risk of being denied a Quant Funded Account if you exceed the maximum capital allocation rule, considering other traders might use the same third-party EA. We maintain certain restrictions on the types of EAs that are allowed to ensure fair and compliant trading practices. Please refer to the detailed description provided below for further information:


Types of trading robots (Expert Advisors - EAs) that are prohibited:



1. High-Frequency Trading EA:  EAs that execute in a large volume of trades within short time periods, with the aim of exploiting small market inefficiencies, are not permitted.


2. News Scalping EAs: EAs that are designed to take advantage of price fluctuations during news releases or economic events by executing quick scalping trades are not allowed.


3. Arbitrage EAs (Reverse and Latency): EAs that seek to profit from price discrepancies between different markets or brokers, using strategies based on reverse trading or latency, are not permitted.


4. High-risk Martingale EAs: EAs that open grid positions following an initial position in drawdown, or Martingale positions in drawdown, or EAs that open positions in the same direction with either the same or larger trade volumes than the previous position are not allowed on the Quant Funded Account. However, they are permitted in the Evaluation Course.


5. Multi-Account Reverse Trading EAs: EAs that replicate trades from one account to multiple accounts in the opposite direction are prohibited.


6. Tick Scalping: EAs that engage in rapid trading based on small tick-level price movements are not allowed.


7. EAs Designed to Abuse Demo Servers: Any EAs specifically created to manipulate or take advantage of the functionalities of demo servers are not permitted.

During the QF Challenge (Phase 1) and Verification (Phase 2) Evaluation Course, you have the flexibility to open or close positions even on major macroeconomic events. Note, however, that in the Quant Funded account, trading is restricted during restricted news events. In particular, you are prohibited from trading 2 minutes before and 2 minutes after the time of release of restricted news. In addition, you are not allowed to trigger stop losses or take profits within this 2-minute time frame. These restrictions ensure compliance and mitigate potential risks associated with trading during sensitive market conditions.

During Phase 1 or Phase 2, there are no restrictions on keeping your positions open overnight or over the weekend. However, once you are a Quant Funded Trader managing a Quant Funded account, it is important that you close your positions just before the weekend market closes or when the market experiences a rollover period that lasts longer than 2 hours. As a Quant Funded trader, you must adhere to the specific trading hours for each asset class and their respective instruments.


If you trade cryptocurrencies, some can be traded during specific hours of the weekend as well.


To find out the tradeable hours for individual instruments, you can access your MetaTrader platform directly. Open the Market Watch (Ctrl+M), right-click on the instrument you are interested in and select 'Specification'. Scroll down the dialog box to find the 'Trading Hours' for the instrument in question.

At Quant Funded we are looking for serious traders. Seriousness in trading is seen by several different factors and trading behaviours shown by traders. Therefore, we are looking for traders who utilise a systemic risk management plan, and trade according to a strategy that's consistent in trade management, risk management, and trading activity in volumes. We do not have specific rules for consistency at Quant Funded, however, we do consider the below listed trading behaviours as unacceptable at Quant Funded.


Random trades generate random results. Engaging in such trading activity and trading behaviour may lead our Risk Department to reach out to you, informing you of requesting to adjust your trading according to standard-market risk measures. Quant Funded may offer a fresh repeat of your Evaluation Process (Challenge) to give you the opportunity to show us your skills and disciplined risk management. If we continue detecting further gambling or high-risk trading behaviours, we reserve the right to suspend your trading account.


Gambling & High-Risk Trading Behaviours:

1. Stacking Orders:
Placing multiple trades at the same or similar price level of one specific trade opportunity is a high-risk trading practice that's not practical in real market conditions or any long term trading system. Stacking orders can cause major losses, this trading behaviour indicates lack of risk management, posing a threat to trader's accounts and the potentially the firm's stability. However if you open trades with a well-calculated risk management after your initial trade is already in a floating profit while also utilising a stop loss to protect your trades, is allowable.

2. Over-exposure:
We do not tolerate a gambling behaviour where traders execute trades using the full available free margin on their accounts, or exposing your trades to a significant risk even if available margin allows opening trades. Overall if your trades are showing a dangerous nature that could cause a major loss in situations where the market may go rapidly against your positions, is seen as over-exposure of your capital.

3. One-sided Betting:
A form of gambling can be opening one single large position on one instrument, or multiple positions that add up to a large positions on the same pair and side of trade constitute as one-sided betting. Another form of one-sided betting is opening multiple trades without a stop loss while the trade(s) is/are growing in profits as the market moves along into your favour, for example if you have opened several positions with no stop loss or risk management in place, and if suddenly the market may change direction the open-floating trades will result in a major loss.

4. Irregularities and Inconsistent Risk:
At Quant Funded we are searching for talented traders who have a system in place and consistent discipline when trading, overall, we are looking for serious traders. Trading in a way that does not show any systematic risk management on trades or inconsistent use of risk on your account, is not the type of traders we look for at Quant Funded. For example, having several trades using stop loss, and some trades using no-stop loss show inconsistency in your trading approach, and potentially could mean there is no real trading system or trading plan used to trade. Random trades, will generate random results. Opening trades without a stop loss, and later adding a stop loss to make it appear in the trading history like the trades would've been using a stop loss is seen as intentional disruption of the ability to monitor and validate your true trading performance and risk management behaviour.

5. Consistency Score:
During the Evaluation Program (Phase 1 & Phase 2) QF Challenge and QF Account (Funded), there is a 45% consistency score. This means that your biggest winning day cannot exceed 45% of your profits. If you reach the profit target during the Evaluation Phase but have not yet met the 45% consistency score, you can continue trading until you meet the consistency score. You can request payout if you meet the 45% consistency score on the QF Account (Funded) account on-demand. If you do not meet the 45% consistency score, you can continue trading until you meet the consistency score to request a payout on-demand. Note : Consistency score is calculated as following: ( Biggest winning day / Current account Profit ) * 100%

6. Martingale/Grid Trading:
This trading practice is similar to one-sided betting and stacking orders, Martingale or Grid positions or not acceptable as it typically works by opening multiple new positions after the previous trade gets into a drawdown. Martingale/Grid strategy is usually based only on the hopes of the market to go back into your favour, and sometimes when luck is on the trader's side, it may work for a short period, only for the time to come when the market will not be moving back into your favour, and new positions placed with Martingale/Grid system will eventually blow up the account. During the Evaluation Process Martingale is an acceptable trading system as it does follow real-market conditions. On the QuantFunded Account, we can't consider Martingale trading due to high-risk of a black swan event causing overexposure.

7. Reverse Trading
Signs and behaviour, which includes risking the full daily loss on one trade, which often indicates reverse trading between different prop trading firms.

8. Account Rolling:
An interesting case and form of gambling specific to prop trading firms is account rolling. In this case, traders will buy multiple evaluation courses at the maximum amount available. They manage to complete these (including Verification - Phase 2). However, due to the limitation of the maximum allocation for one trader/strategy, they can not trade on all accounts at the same time, nor can they combine them into one account. This leads them to believe that they can open unnecessarily risky trades on the account they have received first, because if they recklessly breach that account, they can start trading in the next one almost immediately.

 
Traders suspected of engaging in the such trading behaviours may be subject to various restrictions including but not limited to reducing leverage, limiting the number of trades per day, lot size limit per day, lower daily/max daily loss limiting the risk per trade, imposing a maximum 1% risk rule or even being banned from trading with Quant Funded. If such trading behaviours are detected during the Evaluation process, we may at our own discretion offer a free repeat of your QF Challenge to give you the opportunity to try again, and attempt with your improved trading behaviour according to the above described rules. Our goal as an Evaluation firm is to assist you become a better trader, and risk manager, while also benefiting from the trading flow you provide. This evaluation aims to gather the best trading data possible, enabling us to monetize our data more efficiently, enhancing our stability, and strengthening the industry as a whole.

Any trading account inactive for 30 days will be automatically suspended.

We generally endorse and accept a wide range of profitable trading styles from our clients. However, there are certain actions that we at Quant Funded cannot endorse or approve. It is important that you are aware of these actions to ensure compliance with our policies and procedures.

First and foremost, changing the password of your MetaTrader account is strictly prohibited. Any such action will result in the immediate suspension of the account.

Account management by external parties is not allowed, as our goal is to evaluate the individual trading skills of our traders.

Certain trading strategies are prohibited due to their vulnerability and impracticality in the real Forex market. These strategies may be rejected by the market or not accepted by us to ensure proper funding procedures.

The use of certain Expert Advisors (EAs) and robots that exploit inefficiencies in MetaTrader is strictly prohibited. This includes strategies such as tick scalping, arbitrage bots (including reverse arbitrage, latency arbitrage and hedge arbitrage) and any emulators.

Strategies that are not based on live market conditions are not allowed. Treating the account with a gambling high risk over-leveraged trading style.

Opening positions in opposite directions on different accounts at the same time is strictly prohibited.

If any of the above strategies are used, the account will be terminated and all remuneration will be lost.

If you are not aware of these strategies or trading styles, it is likely that you are not using them, and we will have a positive and cooperative working relationship.



For more detailed information, please refer to Sections 6 and 7 of our Terms and Conditions (T&C).

4. Quant Funded Account

The first withdrawal can be requested on demand upon approval, once you close your first trade in profit. The payout cycle begins with your first actual trade in the Quant Funded account. For example, if your first trade is on the 2nd of the month, your first payout date would be the 16th of the month with Bi-Weekly Payout Cycle, We simply add 14 days to your first trade. This start date is also visible in your Client Area. Traders can request to have Bi-Weekly Payout Cycle on the Quant Funded Account where all Payouts are Paid every 14 days. On default for example, if your first trade is on the 16th of the month, your first payout date would be the 16th of the next month. We simply add 30 days to the date of your first trade.

All trades must be closed by the end of the day before the payout date. For example, if your payout date is the 16th, your trades should be closed by 23:59:59 MetaTrader server time on the 15th.

After your first payout - you can choose the payout period of your next trading month to change to bi-weekly payouts every 2 weeks.

At Quant Funded, we place great emphasis on fair and transparent rewards for our traders. To achieve this, we have implemented a profit-sharing system where 80% of closed profits from Quant Funded accounts are allocated to traders, while the remaining 20% covers Quant Funded’s operational expenses. 

The default profit share is set at 80%, provided the trader meets our 45% consistency rule. This payout can be requested after 30 days from placing the first trade on the Funded account. After the first payout, traders have the option to switch to a bi-weekly payout schedule if they wish.

Additionally, we offer an on-demand payout option, which requires approval from our risk department. Under this option, the default payout share is 60%, but with advanced approval, the standard 80% payout share will apply.

If a trader exhibits high-risk exposure, gambling behavior, or breaches any of Quant Funded’s trading rules, we reserve the right to adjust the payout share. In such cases, at our discretion, traders may receive up to 50% of the profits generated.

In our scalping plan, we share an impressive 90% of the profits generated. Find more details of how the scaling plan works at Quant Funded here.

What sets us apart is that we do not impose predefined trading periods or profit targets. As long as the Trading Objectives are respected, the account remains active, and the amount of profit you can earn and withdraw is solely dependent on your trading performance, without limits or restrictions.

Upon confirmation of the profit split, the existing Quant Funded account will be closed. On the following business day you will receive new login credentials and your original initial deposit to continue trading on a new account.

Please note that you are responsible for managing and fulfilling all tax obligations in accordance with the laws and regulations of your country.

The fee covers the costs related to the QF Challenge provided by Quant Funded such as the designing, development, and operation of the QF platform (the technical infrastructure behind the provided educational services and applications). The size of the fee differs accordingly to the selected QF Challenge, depending on the amount of its simulated account balance. The respective fee also covers the designing and development of all the applications mentioned below and the creation of other content available to our clients.

There are no limits on the number of trading accounts you can have during the Quant Funded Evaluation. However, there is a maximum capital allocation of $400,000 per trader or strategy at any given time for each Quant Funded Account.


Equivalent limits also apply to trading accounts denominated in other currencies, such as €320,000 and £280,000.


These limits are in place to mitigate risk and promote diversification, as we aim to avoid allocating a significant portion of our investment to a single account. Please refrain from creating multiple accounts through different registrations, as this is not permitted. If we find multiple accounts trading identical strategies and exceeding the allocated capital limit of $400,000, we reserve the right to suspend those accounts in accordance with the Terms and Conditions.

This term is included in both our Terms and Conditions and the Quant Funded Account Agreement. It is imperative that trading activities comply with the principles of a genuine market, and traders must refrain from practices that undermine the proper functioning of the market.
