This page is published by QuantStone. It is not an independent review, so treat it as the company's own account and verify the checkable facts yourself.
If you arrived here after seeing the Telegram channel, an advertisement or a mention somewhere, you are likely asking one question: is any of this real, and can I check it without simply taking QuantStone's word for it? The honest answer is yes, on the parts that matter most. The track record for both algorithms is certified and verifiable in real time by anyone. Client funds sit in the client's own account at a regulated broker, not in QuantStone's hands. The 20% commission is charged only on profits actually generated, and only at the end of the month. None of those three things require you to trust a marketing claim.
What follows is a plain account of what QuantStone is, how the verification works, where the genuine limits are, and who this service is not suited to. If you want more technical background on how these systems are built, the guide to what an Expert Advisor is in MetaTrader covers the mechanics from first principles.
What QuantStone Is, and What It Is Not
QuantStone is an automated algorithmic trading service. It builds and runs two Expert Advisors (EAs) on MetaTrader, makes them available to clients, and charges a commission only when those EAs generate a profit. That is the entire business model.
QuantStone is not a broker. It does not hold your money, open accounts on your behalf or execute trades in its own name. It is not a fund. You do not pool your capital with other investors. It is not a signal group that sends you trade ideas to copy manually. It does not provide investment advice, and nothing on this page or anywhere on the QuantStone website constitutes a recommendation to trade any financial instrument.
The distinction matters because it changes who carries the risk. You open your own account, at a regulated broker, in your own name. Your funds stay there. QuantStone accesses the account only to run the algorithm, not to move money.
How It Works in Practice
QuantStone runs two algorithms, each suited to a different risk profile.
- SENTINEL is the aggressive profile. It trades USDCAD and GBPUSD. Historical monthly performance has ranged from 50% to 180%. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and no return is guaranteed.
- PREDATOR is the moderate profile, specialised in gold (XAUUSD). Historical monthly performance has ranged from 20% to 30%. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and no return is guaranteed.
Both algorithms require a minimum deposit of 350 EUR. Running both on separate accounts is something QuantStone recommends as a way to spread risk across two instruments and two strategies. That said, running more accounts means more capital at risk, and spreading risk does not eliminate it.
The practical setup goes like this. You open a live account at Startrader, the regulated broker that QuantStone partners with. You deposit the minimum for whichever algorithm you choose. QuantStone then connects the EA to your account via a VPS provided through Startrader. You do not need to leave a computer switched on. The whole setup takes roughly 15 minutes. After that, the algorithm trades without your daily intervention, though your account remains yours and you can log in, monitor it or withdraw at any time.

The Commercial Terms
QuantStone charges a 20% commission on profits generated, settled at the end of each calendar month. There is no subscription, no monthly fee and no charge of any kind in a month where the algorithm produces no profit. If the algorithm loses money in a given month, QuantStone earns nothing for that month. That structure gives the service a direct interest in performance, but it does not mean performance is guaranteed.
The minimum deposit is 350 EUR per algorithm. Deposits are quoted in EUR because that is the reference denomination used across the client base. QuantStone does not publish a USD equivalent because the figures would shift with the exchange rate and create a misleading impression of precision.
More than 500 investors currently use the service. That figure is stated here as context, not as a quality signal. The number of users does not tell you whether the strategy will perform in your account during the period you are invested.
The Track Record: What You Can Verify, and How
The most common concern with any algorithmic trading service is whether the stated performance history was actually achieved on live accounts or was simply constructed after the fact on historical data. Backtested results and forward-tested results can look identical on a chart, but they are very different things. A backtest optimised on past data is trivially easy to fabricate. A live, independently certified track record on a real account is not.
QuantStone's track record for both algorithms is certified and verifiable in real time. You do not need to take the company's word for it. The certification process involves a third-party service recording the trading activity directly from the live account, timestamping each trade as it happens, and making that data available for public inspection. You can check whether the trades shown in the performance history match the timestamps, whether there are gaps or suspicious edits, and whether the equity curve reflects a continuous live account rather than a spliced-together record.
For a detailed walkthrough of what certified verification actually means, what to look for and what questions to ask of any EA provider, the page on what a verified track record means for a forex EA explains the process and the distinctions that matter.
What a Track Record Does Not Prove
A certified live track record confirms that the results shown happened. It does not confirm that the same results will continue. Markets change, volatility regimes shift, and a strategy that performed well across one set of conditions may underperform or lose money in another. The track record is evidence of what the algorithm did. It is not a forecast of what it will do.
It also does not tell you whether the drawdowns shown were tolerable for the people who experienced them in real time. A 30% drawdown looks manageable on a chart in hindsight. Living through it on a live account is a different experience, particularly if the capital involved represents savings you needed.
How to Spot a Fabricated History in General
When evaluating any algorithmic trading service, the following are signs that a claimed track record deserves scepticism. Results that show no losing months across multiple years. Equity curves that are perfectly smooth without any visible drawdown. Performance histories that begin exactly when the product was launched and show no earlier live data. Track records that exist only as screenshots rather than as verifiable third-party records. Providers who resist or deflect questions about where and how the track record can be confirmed independently. None of these apply to QuantStone's certified records, but you should apply the same checklist here as you would anywhere else.
The broader article on choosing an automated forex trading system as a beginner in 2026 covers this checklist in more depth and is worth reading before making any decision.

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.
Who This Is Not For
This section is written without hedging, because the people most likely to be harmed by a poor fit are also the ones most likely to be drawn in by performance figures.
- Anyone depositing money they need to live on. Forex trading with leverage can result in losing the entire deposited amount. If the capital you are considering represents rent, an emergency fund or income you depend on, do not use this service.
- Anyone who cannot tolerate a losing month. Drawdown is a normal part of any trading strategy. SENTINEL's aggressive profile in particular can experience sharp swings. If a losing month would cause you to panic, withdraw at the worst moment or lose sleep, the risk profile is not right for you.
- Anyone who wants a guaranteed or predictable income. QuantStone guarantees no return whatsoever. Monthly results vary. Some months may show significant gains; others may show losses. The range of historical outcomes for SENTINEL alone (50% to 180% per month historically, which is not guaranteed and not indicative of future results) should tell you that variance is extremely high.
- Anyone expecting to never look at their account again. The algorithm runs without daily intervention, but you remain responsible for your account. Monitoring your balance, understanding what is happening and making informed decisions about withdrawals or continuation is your responsibility, not QuantStone's.
- Anyone below the minimum deposit. The minimum is 350 EUR per algorithm. Depositing less and expecting proportional results is not how this works.
- Residents of the United States. QuantStone is not available to US residents. US retail forex trading is subject to CFTC and NFA regulations that heavily restrict this type of service, and the partner broker does not serve US clients. If you are based in the United States, do not attempt to sign up.
The article on common mistakes beginners make in automated trading covers several of the situations above in more detail and is worth reading before you decide either way.
The Honest Risks
Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. The historical performance figures for SENTINEL and PREDATOR reflect periods when the algorithms performed well. They do not represent a floor or a typical outcome. An algorithm can go through extended losing periods. No strategy works in every market condition. Correlation between instruments can break down. Technical failures, connectivity issues and broker-side execution slippage can all affect outcomes in ways that historical results do not capture.
QuantStone does not manage these risks on your behalf. You retain full control of your account and full responsibility for the capital in it. The service removes the need for you to trade manually, but it does not remove the underlying risk of trading.
How to Get in Touch and What Happens Next
If you have read this page, checked the verified track record independently and want to ask questions or proceed, the right place to do that is the QuantStone Telegram channel at t.me/+ZJPJDABDBZ43MGRk. That is where you can ask specific questions, get setup guidance and receive the information needed to open your account at Startrader and configure the algorithm.
Setup takes roughly 15 minutes once you have the account in place. There is no subscription to activate and no charge until the end of a month in which profit has been generated.
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.
