QUANTFORGES · Forged to outperform

Security

We never touch your funds. Understanding how that is actually enforced matters more than believing the sentence.

Non-custodial: your funds always stay in your own account

QuantForges is not a pool of funds, and it is not an exchange or a broker. You never send us money to copy. You only grant the platform permission to place orders in your own Binance account or your own MT5 broker account. Positions, profit and loss and margin all live in your account, and the platform holds no client assets.

If QuantForges stopped operating tomorrow, the assets in your account would be unaffected. There would simply be no more copy orders.

What permission the platform gets

Binance

An API Key with “Trading” permission only

A Binance API Key can be granted reading, trading and withdrawal permissions separately. Tick “Trading” only and never “Withdrawal”. This is Binance’s own permission system: even if the platform’s servers were breached, this Key could not move assets out of Binance. We also recommend setting an IP whitelist.

MT5

Trading password + your own MetaApi token

MT5 copying needs the account’s trading password (a read-only investor password cannot place orders). The MT5 trading password is for trading only; deposits and withdrawals are handled in your broker’s client portal. The cloud terminal runs under your own MetaApi account, and the platform does not use a shared token.

All API Keys, MT5 trading passwords and MetaApi tokens are stored encrypted, never in plain text. You can remove a connection on the platform at any time, or revoke the API Key on Binance or change the MT5 password at your broker, and the platform’s permission to trade ends immediately.

Accounts are isolated from each other

Every copier’s orders are placed separately: each position change of a lead account is turned into orders for each copier’s own account, capital and risk limits. Different copiers’ funds are never merged into one large position.
A dedicated copy account: a Binance copy account must hold no positions when copying starts, and one copy account follows only one lead trader at a time. We recommend using a Binance sub-account just for copying, kept apart from your other funds.
Code isolation: strategy code a lead trader writes in the Trader Terminal runs in a separate isolated environment and cannot reach other accounts or other parts of the platform.

Listing requires review, and ranking ignores raw return

Before listing, a lead account needs enough running days and trades, and must have been through a real drawdown.
Once the requirements are met, the listing is submitted for manual review by the platform; any exception an administrator makes is recorded.
The board is ranked by return ÷ max drawdown, not by return. Ranked by return, the top spot usually goes to the account with the most leverage that simply has not been liquidated yet.
What is shown is the lead account’s complete real record, including losses and drawdowns, without filtering or embellishment. Simulated accounts are clearly marked.

Your own risk lines

The classic way copy trading blows up: the trader you follow always uses 2% positions, then one day jumps to 20%, and every copier is taken down together. So every copy has limits that you set and that are enforced at execution: position cap, max leverage, daily loss limit, max drawdown and cooling-off period. Copying stops automatically when one is hit, and if your region has a stricter leverage cap, the stricter one applies.

Fees are never charged on recovering a loss

A revenue share uses a high-water mark: after a loss, a share is charged only on the part by which equity rises above its previous peak. Money you deposit yourself is not treated as profit, and deposits and withdrawals adjust the fee base accordingly.

But remember: this does not mean there is no risk

Non-custody removes the risk of a platform misusing funds; it cannot remove the risk of the market itself. Leveraged futures and FX trading can still be liquidated in extreme markets and lose capital, and risk lines may not execute at the set price when the market gaps or liquidity dries up. Check the lead account’s max drawdown first and commit only money you can afford to lose.

What you can do

Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) on your Binance and broker accounts.
Tick “Trading” only on the API Key, and set an IP whitelist.
Use a sub-account or a separate MT5 account just for copying, and do not mix it with other funds.
QuantForges will never ask you for withdrawal permission, an exchange login password or a verification code through any channel. If you receive such a request, write to [email protected] immediately.
