Strategy Overview: Algorithmic Trading

A Selective, Rule-Based Trading Strategy

Executing only when market breakout conditions align — precision scalping with disciplined risk management.

Our trading system is built on an advanced algorithm that monitors the market continuously but only executes trades when specific breakout conditions are met. It is not a high-frequency trading bot, nor does it seek to generate constant activity — instead, it is programmed to act only during precise market conditions where volatility and momentum align with predefined risk parameters. This enhances our approach to algorithmic copy trading.

Once a breakout is detected, the strategy employs a short-term scalping approach, typically holding trades for between 50 seconds to 2 minutes, aiming to capture swift price movements with controlled exposure. The system is designed to trade infrequently, maintaining a highly selective profile that avoids unnecessary market noise. All trades utilise appropriate leverage to optimise risk-adjusted returns, while keeping drawdown strictly managed. The result is a focused, disciplined trading strategy that delivers consistent, low-risk performance with full transparency.

Proof of Performance

Proven Performance. Verified Results.

Transparent live tracking and back tested returns with consistently low drawdown.

Our proprietary trading bots have been rigorously developed and refined over three to five years of financial market data, delivering consistent, risk-managed returns across major currency pairs, commodities, and indices. Live testing and extensive back testing show the strength of our approach:

• Our top-performing gold bot XAUUSD has achieved an annualized ROI of 142.25% with a maximum drawdown of just 3.04%.
• XAUEUR produced an 101.41% ROI with 2.85% drawdown.
• EURUSD delivered 88.72% ROI with a 6.45% drawdown.
• BTCUSD produced 55.83% ROI with an 11.15% drawdown.

Additional bots across indices (US30, USTEC, UK100, ES35) also demonstrate consistent returns between 20%–30%, all with low drawdowns and 100%-win rates in live testing to date.

We focus on controlled risk and sustainable returns, with our strategies achieving high win rates and keeping drawdown typically below 8%. All trading is fully automated using institutional-grade execution via cTrader, with no human intervention.

Live performance is fully transparent — investors can monitor performance in real-time through cTrader, MyFXBook, and verified back test reports provided in the links in the below table.

About QuantTraderFX

Built by a Trader, Engineered for Consistency

From discretionary roots to fully automated precision — a system designed to deliver professional-grade results.

QuantTraderFX was founded out of a practical need — to build a professional-grade trading solution that could deliver consistent, risk-managed returns without the emotional and time-based limitations of discretionary trading.

I initially learned to trade under the mentorship of James Bentley and the team at Financial Markets Online. While I gained a strong understanding of market structure and strategy, I soon faced the challenges many aspiring trader’s encounter: limited time to monitor intraday markets, the capital required to scale, and the difficulty of maintaining emotional discipline during live trading.

After experimenting with end-of-day strategies, I began the journey of developing a fully automated trading solution. Early versions included a mean reversion bot, which performed well in certain conditions but lacked the risk controls needed for long-term sustainability. Through this process of rigorous testing and refinement, I identified consistent market behaviours and breakout patterns that could be systematically captured across a wide range of assets.

The result is a proprietary breakout-based scalping algorithm — engineered to execute only under highly selective conditions and designed to deliver repeatable results with low drawdown. Each bot has been subjected to a minimum of three years live market testing and forward testing, with only those achieving a 100%-win rate and consistently low drawdown retained for use in our trading portfolio.

Our goal at QuantTraderFX is to provide a transparent, high-quality trading solution that appeals to serious investors, prop firm traders, and professional traders seeking robust, algorithm-driven returns without the emotional pitfalls of discretionary trading.

With the rise of algorithmic copy trading, traders can leverage technology to enhance their strategies and achieve better results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about connecting, managing risk, and getting started with QuantTraderFX.

Our bots trade a carefully selected range of major FX pairs, commodities (such as XAUUSD), global indices (such as UK100, ES35, USTEC), and select cryptocurrencies. Each bot is tested and optimised for the specific characteristics of its target market.

We recommend IC Markets cTrader Raw Spread account for optimal execution, low latency, and minimal slippage. The system is built specifically to operate on the cTrader platform.

Your funds remain fully in your own brokerage account. You retain full control and can withdraw at any time. The bots are designed with strict built-in risk controls, including low drawdown targeting, infrequent trade frequency, and disciplined scalping logic.

We target controlled drawdowns, typically below 8-10%, by trading selectively and with dynamic position sizing. The bots do not operate continuously — trades are only placed when optimal conditions are met.

While past performance is not a guarantee of future results, our current live strategies are delivering annualised ROI exceeding 270%, with maximum drawdown below 8% on our top four performing bots. However, we are running the full copy trading portfolio of 21 bots concurrently, via a high-performance VPS. Overall portfolio ROI is further enhanced, with the same disciplined risk management approach.

Currently, the model operates on a performance fee basis of 20% via the broker’s integrated copy trading structure. There are no fixed subscription fees or upfront costs for copy trading.

Position sizing is handled automatically by the cTrader Copy platform. Your account mirrors the strategy in percentage terms — meaning trade sizes are automatically scaled relative to your account size compared to the strategy provider’s account.
This ensures that risk and exposure are consistent regardless of whether you are trading with £5,000 or £50,000. You do not need to set lot sizes manually — the cTrader Copy system handles all scaling.

You simply open an IC Markets cTrader account and connect to our strategy through cTrader Copy — no VPS, no complex setup required. Once connected, trades are mirrored to your account in real time, with position sizing automatically adjusted to match your account size.

Yes. No trading knowledge or technical experience is required. The entire process is automated — once connected, trades are mirrored to your account in real time.

Our bots trade selectively and infrequently. They are programmed to execute only when specific breakout conditions are met — not on a constant schedule. On average, trades may occur a few times per week, but the frequency varies based on market conditions.

Trades are typically very short-term scalps, held for 50 seconds to 2 minutes. The strategy is designed to capture rapid moves during specific breakout scenarios.

The minimum capital to trade is £1,000. However, we recommend starting with at least £5,000 — with £10,000 or more ideal for optimal trade sizing, compounding, and diversification across the full bot portfolio.
