FAQ

What are the risks? How much can I lose?
When you open your account at Dukascopy you have to set your equity protection limit. If the balance on your account reaches this limit, all open positions will be closed immediately, trading in your name will be stopped and your limited power of attorney will be blocked. So you can not lose more money than you think is acceptable. Spot FX is a high risk product. Please ask advice from an independent financial advisor about where to put your equity protection limit.  

How much is the performance fee?
Quantts offers a clear and transparent service for which it charges a performance fee of 25% of the realised profit. This fee will only be charged on an increase in the Net Asset Value above the high water mark. 

How much is the Management Fee?
Quantts charges a management fee of 1 percent per year.
Please note that Dukascopy Bank charges you transaction costs of 25 Dollar per million Dollar turnover.

What is your trading strategy?
Quantts trades Spot Fx purely based on quantitative models. These models form a large part of what gives us our edge in FX trading, and they assist us in profiting from small, short-term movements in exchange rates. Golden Rule number One in trading is to always cut your losses and let your profits run. We are in total compliance to this rule. Therefore, each position we open is automatically secured with a stop loss. This helps ensure that any eventual loss will not exceed the maximum loss we are willing to take on our strategies, which is 1,25 percent of initial capital per individual position.
Also, we do not leverage more than 15:1 against the original capital. 
We always trade in the best interests of our customers, which implies that we may not always follow our models. In the end we only make money if you do, so we have a shared interest and a common goal with all of our clients.
Of course we lose money on individual trades, and we can have a negative month, but we have clearly demonstrated that we are capable of producing a positive number at the end of the year, with a low standard deviation of monthly returns along the way.

How much do you expect to earn?
Past performances have shown we are capable of achieving a 35 % – 40 % net return annually. Our costs have already been deducted from this figure. However, past performances are no guarantee for future returns.

Are you trading with your own money?
Yes. We, the managers,  have a part of our own captial managed by Quantts. We do exactly the same deals as our customers.   

Is it possible to deposit additional funds?
Additional funds can always be deposited.

Can I withdraw my funds any time?
Yes. You can instruct Dukascopy to wire money back to you any time. In our test it took 48 hours to have our money back on our Dutch bankaccount.  

What happens to my capital if Dukascopy goes bankrupt?
Your capital is guaranteed to a maximum of CHF 100.000 in case of bankruptcy. FINMA regulates and performs checks.

Can I login to my account 24/7?
Yes, you can login to your account at any time to see the current state of affairs.

Can I see the trades made by Quantts?
Yes, by logging in to your account you can see which transactions have been performed with your account.

Can I change the Equity Protection Limit once it has been set?  
Yes. You can change the amount you are willing to risk anytime. On-line, 24 hours a day.

Can I trade myself?
Not when your account is managed by us. But you can of course open an account at Dukascopy and trade for yourself. Please mention that you were referred to them by Quantts.
