This page is published by QuantStone itself. It is not an independent review, so treat it as the company's own account and verify the checkable facts yourself.
If you have arrived here after seeing the Telegram channel, an advertisement or a mention somewhere, the question you are really asking is: can I trust this service with my money? That is the right question, and it deserves a direct answer rather than a sales pitch. This page will tell you precisely what is regulated and what is not, what you can check without taking our word for it, and, just as importantly, who this service is not suitable for.
Three things you can verify without trusting us at all: the algorithm track record is certified and available in real time, your funds sit in your own account at a regulated broker at all times, and the commission is charged only when profits are generated. Everything else on this page you should read critically and cross-reference independently.
What QuantStone Is, and What It Is Not
QuantStone is a publisher of automated trading algorithms, specifically MetaTrader Expert Advisors built in-house. It is not a broker, not a fund, not a portfolio manager, not a signal group, and it never takes custody of your money. Understanding that distinction matters enormously when asking the regulatory question.
QuantStone does not provide investment advice. It publishes algorithms and makes them available to clients who choose to run them on their own trading accounts. The decision to use the service, and the responsibility for the account, remains entirely with you.
If you want to understand the mechanics of how this category of software actually works, the guide to how automated forex trading robots work covers the fundamentals without assuming any prior knowledge.
The Regulatory Picture, Stated Precisely
This is the section most pages like this one avoid. Here is the honest breakdown.
What is regulated
Client funds are held at Startrader, QuantStone's partner broker. Startrader is a regulated broker. The regulatory framework that applies to this arrangement is the intersection of what regulators such as the FCA, ESMA and ASIC expect from brokers handling retail client money. That means segregated client funds, negative balance protection requirements and conduct standards. When you open an account through this service, your money sits at a regulated broker in your own name, not in a pooled fund and not with QuantStone.
What is not regulated
QuantStone itself is not licensed by a financial regulator. It publishes algorithms. In most jurisdictions, publishing a trading algorithm does not require a broker or investment adviser licence, in the same way that a financial publisher is not required to hold a dealing licence. However, that does not mean the activity sits outside all rules. Financial promotions directed at retail audiences in the United Kingdom, the European Union and Australia must still meet conduct standards set by the FCA, ESMA and ASIC respectively. This page is written with those standards in mind.
What this means for you in practice: the protection you have comes from the broker, not from QuantStone. You have no regulatory recourse against QuantStone as an algorithm publisher in the way you might against a licensed fund manager. That is a real difference, and you should factor it into your decision.
For further context on what a verified track record for a forex Expert Advisor actually looks like and what it proves, the article on forex EAs with a verified track record explains the distinction between marketing claims and independently checkable performance data.
How the Service Works in Practice
The process is straightforward. You choose one or both of QuantStone's two algorithms, open a trading account at Startrader, and connect the algorithm to that account. Setup takes roughly fifteen minutes. The algorithm runs on a VPS provided through Startrader, so you do not need to leave a computer switched on.
Your capital stays in your own account throughout. You retain full ownership and can withdraw at any time. QuantStone never touches your funds.
The two algorithms
- SENTINEL: an aggressive profile that trades USDCAD and GBPUSD. Minimum deposit is 350 EUR. Historical performance has ranged from 50 to 180 per cent per month. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and those figures are historical only, never a forecast.
- PREDATOR: a moderate profile specialised in gold (XAUUSD). Minimum deposit is 350 EUR. Historical performance has ranged from 20 to 30 per cent per month. Again, past performance is not indicative of future results.
Running both algorithms on separate accounts is recommended as a way to spread risk across instruments and profiles. More than 500 investors currently use the service.

The Exact Commercial Terms
There is no subscription and no monthly fee. QuantStone charges a 20 per cent commission on generated profits only, settled at the end of each month. If the algorithm produces no profit in a given month, no commission is charged. You do not owe anything for a losing month.
| Algorithm | Profile | Minimum deposit | Commission |
|---|---|---|---|
| SENTINEL | Aggressive | 350 EUR | 20% of monthly profits only |
| PREDATOR | Moderate | 350 EUR | 20% of monthly profits only |
QuantStone guarantees no return whatsoever. The commercial model is structured so that the service only earns when you do, but that alignment does not eliminate risk, and it is not a promise of profit.

Trading involves risk and you can lose some or all of your invested capital. Past performance is not indicative of future results. QuantStone is not available to residents of the United States.
What You Can Verify Independently
Rather than asking you to take our word for anything, here is what is independently checkable.
- The track record: algorithm performance is certified and verifiable in real time. You do not have to rely on screenshots or marketing copy.
- Broker regulation: Startrader's regulatory status is publicly available. Check it directly with the relevant regulator rather than through any link we provide.
- Your own account: once set up, you log into your own Startrader account and see your balance, your trades and your withdrawals directly. Nothing is hidden behind a dashboard controlled by QuantStone.
- Commission settlement: the 20 per cent figure is applied to the profit figure visible in your own account. You are not relying on a third party calculation you cannot audit.

Who This Service Is Not For
This section exists because the wrong client is worse for everyone than no client at all. Please read it as carefully as the rest of the page.
- Anyone depositing money they need to live on. Forex trading with leverage can result in the loss of your entire deposit. Do not use rent money, emergency savings or any funds you cannot afford to lose entirely.
- Anyone who cannot tolerate a losing month. Drawdowns happen. An algorithm can go through an extended losing period. If a negative month would cause you serious financial or emotional harm, this service is not appropriate for you.
- Anyone expecting a guaranteed or predictable income. Results vary month to month. The historical figures quoted are not a floor and are not a forecast. QuantStone guarantees nothing.
- Anyone who expects to set it up and never look at their account again. You keep responsibility for your own account. You should monitor it, understand what the algorithm is doing, and be prepared to make decisions.
- Anyone below the minimum deposit. Both algorithms require a minimum of 350 EUR. Accounts funded below that level are not supported.
- Residents of the United States. This service is not available to US residents. US retail forex is subject to strict CFTC and NFA rules, and the partner broker does not serve US clients. Do not attempt to sign up if you are based in the United States.
The article on automated trading mistakes beginners make covers a number of the misjudgements that lead people to enter this space with the wrong expectations. It is worth reading before you decide.
The Honest Risks and Limits
Past performance says nothing about the future. An algorithm that has performed well historically can go through extended losing periods. Leverage amplifies losses as well as gains. No strategy works in every market condition, and market conditions change. The fact that a track record is certified and verifiable means it is accurate, not that it will repeat.
You are also taking on counterparty risk at the broker level, execution risk in fast-moving markets, and the risk that any software can behave unexpectedly in conditions it was not designed for. None of these risks disappear because the service has a clean commercial model.
How to Get in Touch and What Happens Next
All contact and sign-up goes through the QuantStone Telegram channel at t.me/+ZJPJDABDBZ43MGRk. That is where you can ask questions, request setup guidance and get access to the certified track record before committing anything.
There is no hard sell and no countdown timer. If after reading this page you have questions that are not answered here, bring them to Telegram. If something does not add up for you, do not proceed until it does.
Risk warning
Trading involves risk and you can lose some or all of your invested capital. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Only trade with money you can afford to lose. QuantStone does not provide investment advice and nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument.
