Distinct strategies, honestly tiered.
- Momentum (Higher risk, Forex + Crypto) — Actively trades short-term price momentum through the day — more trades, tighter holds.
- Trend (Conservative, Forex + Crypto) — Follows established market trends and holds positions longer for the bigger moves.
- Cycle (Conservative, Forex + Crypto) — A patient, big-picture trader that only acts when the broader market clearly lines up.
- Horizon (Balanced, Forex + Crypto) — Waits for several trend signals to line up before committing, then rides the move.
- Pivot (Balanced, Forex + Crypto) — Flips with the prevailing trend and stays in until it clearly turns the other way.
- Volt (Higher risk, Crypto) — Jumps on sharp volatility expansions — quick, aggressive bursts when the market moves.

Frequently asked questions
How does a QTradeBot trading bot work?
A QTradeBot trading bot runs a backtested strategy against live market data and places orders on your own exchange or broker account through an API connection. The strategy decides how much risk to take; the platform translates that into the right order size for your venue. You can run it free on paper first, then arm it live when you trust it.
Is my money safe? Do you ever hold my funds?
Your funds never leave your own exchange or broker account. QTradeBot connects with trade-only API keys, which means we can place orders for you but can never withdraw, move or hold your money. Your balance stays on your venue, in your name, the whole time.
Are trading bots profitable? Can I lose money?
Our strategies have earned strong returns in backtesting — the best averaged +86% a year over five and a half years, with every trading cost included. That said, all trading carries real risk and no result is guaranteed, which is why every strategy card shows you its full history, dips included, and why Practice mode is free for as long as you like. Judge the numbers yourself before putting anything real behind them.
Can I trade both forex and crypto from one trading bot?
Yes. QTradeBot is asset-neutral: the same strategy engine emits risk-intent signals that the platform translates into the right units for each venue. Crypto is live today via your exchange; forex runs on cTrader and is rolling out to live accounts.
What does QTradeBot cost? Is there a free plan?
Paper trading is free forever, with no card required. You are billed per live bot — Starter ($49/mo) for your first live bot, Pro ($149/mo) to run a fleet across forex and crypto, and Scale ($499/mo) for unlimited live bots. Pay by card or crypto and cancel or downgrade anytime.
Do I need to know how to code or trade to use it?
No. Every strategy comes with a plain-English description and a simple risk tier, so you pick the style that suits you — calm and steady, balanced, or aggressive — without writing a line of code. You can watch it work in Practice mode before any real money is involved.
How are the strategies validated?
Every strategy is backtested over years of market data with realistic costs included — fees, funding and slippage — and we run each one on our own accounts first before it reaches the catalog. Each card shows its average yearly growth, its deepest historical dip and how far along the validation pipeline it is. The numbers come from backtests, so they describe the past, not a promise about the future.
What is paper trading and is it really free?
Paper trading runs a strategy against live market data with zero capital at risk — real fills, real P&L, real drawdown, but simulated money. It is free forever on QTradeBot, with no card needed, so you can judge a strategy for yourself before deciding whether to go live.
Which exchanges and brokers can I connect?
You connect crypto exchanges supported through our standard API integration and, for forex, broker accounts via cTrader. You bring your own funded account and keep full control of it — QTradeBot places orders but never holds your balance.
Is QTradeBot financial advice?
No. QTradeBot is an execution platform, not an advisor. You choose which strategies run and at what size. Trading involves risk, including loss of capital, and past or backtested performance is not indicative of future results.
