Question 1

What is QuantLogic.io?

Accepted Answer

QuantLogic.io publishes NQ Pilot, an AI-guided strategy for Nasdaq-100 futures (NQ and the micro contract MNQ). Signals auto-execute in your Tradovate or NinjaTrader prop firm account. All subscribers receive identical signals at the same time — we do not provide individualized advice or manage client accounts.

Question 2

If NQ Pilot is profitable, why share it instead of just trading it yourself?

Accepted Answer

NQ Pilot trades only 1–2 times per day with relatively small contract sizes per trader, so subscriber volume does not meaningfully impact execution. We do monitor capacity and will stop accepting new clients if subscriber volume starts affecting execution quality or returns.

Question 3

I'm new to futures trading. Is this too complicated for me?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. If you've ever bought or sold a stock, you already understand the basics. You don't need to understand contract expiration, rollover, contract specs, or settlement — QuantLogic.io handles all of that automatically. Behind the scenes we trade the correct contract month, handle rollovers, and ensure all positions are flat by end of day.

Question 4

How does signal delivery work?

Accepted Answer

When NQ Pilot generates a signal, it is published simultaneously to all active subscribers. If you have authorized trade execution through your Tradovate/NinjaTrader account, the signal is forwarded based on the contract size you have configured. You maintain full control over your account parameters and can pause or disconnect at any time.

Question 5

Do you manage my trading account?

Accepted Answer

No. QuantLogic.io does not have discretionary control over your account. You authorize the connection to your broker through Tradovate's official OAuth process. You independently set your contract size, risk parameters, and execution preferences. We are a signal publisher, not an account manager.

Question 6

How much capital do I need to start?

Accepted Answer

NQ Pilot is designed to fit inside prop firm evaluation accounts as small as $25K. Most subscribers run it on a $50K Lucid, Tradeify, Goat, or TPT eval. Sizing is configured per-account in the dashboard — typically 1 MNQ on a 25K account, scaling up from there.

Question 7

What if I have a smaller account?

Accepted Answer

Start with micro contracts. MNQ starts at $382 minimum margin per contract. NQ Pilot was built specifically for prop firm evals where account sizes are small and drawdown limits are tight, so a smaller account is the normal starting point.

Question 8

Can I use this with prop firm accounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and prop firm accounts are the only accounts we support. NQ Pilot works with Tradovate-connected accounts at Lucid Trading, Tradeify, Goat Funded Futures, and Take Profit Trader. QuantLogic.io Signals ($129/mo) includes NQ Pilot plus FlatGuard protection. FlatGuard Standalone ($29/mo) provides overnight protection only for traders with their own strategy.

Question 9

What are the trading hours?

Accepted Answer

NQ Pilot trades 9:30 AM – 11:30 AM ET (AI-guided, max 1–2 trades per day). Always flat by 3:39 PM ET — 6 minutes before the 3:45 PM overnight margin cutoff. This means you only need day trading margin ($500 for NQ, $50 for MNQ).

Question 10

What is the AI Trading Coach?

Accepted Answer

The AI Trading Coach provides performance analysis and psychological support during drawdowns. It can explain how NQ Pilot is behaving in current conditions, walk through your True ROI numbers, and help you stay disciplined during losing periods. The AI Coach provides general information — it does not provide individualized investment advice.

Question 11

What's the difference between Tradovate and NinjaTrader?

Accepted Answer

They're the same company! NinjaTrader Group acquired Tradovate in 2022. When you open an account with either, you get access to ALL their platforms: Tradovate Web (browser-based), Tradovate Desktop & Mobile (Windows/Mac and iOS/Android), and NinjaTrader Desktop (advanced charting for Windows). One account, one login, access to everything.

Question 12

Do I need to install any software to use QuantLogic.io?

Accepted Answer

No! QuantLogic.io signals are delivered automatically to your connected account. You can monitor your trades using Tradovate Web in any browser — no downloads required. If you want to use NinjaTrader Desktop for advanced features, you can, but it's completely optional.

Question 13

How do I connect my Tradovate/NinjaTrader account?

Accepted Answer

Sign up for a QuantLogic.io subscription, click 'Connect Account' in your dashboard, you'll be redirected to Tradovate's official OAuth page, log in with your Tradovate credentials (we never see your password), authorize QuantLogic.io to send orders on your behalf, configure your contract size and preferences, and you're ready to receive signals. You can revoke access anytime.

Question 14

Can I pause or disconnect at any time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. You have full control: pause signals (stop new trades while keeping your account connected), disconnect account (revoke authorization instantly), cancel subscription (no questions asked, effective immediately). We do not lock you into contracts or make disconnection difficult.

Question 15

Can you access or withdraw my funds?

Accepted Answer

No. Absolutely not. OAuth only grants us permission to place and close trades. We cannot view your account balance, withdraw money, or transfer funds. You authenticate directly with Tradovate — we never see your password. You can disconnect us instantly from your Tradovate account settings.

Question 16

Is my data secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use industry-standard security: OAuth 2.0 (you log in directly with Tradovate, not us), 256-bit encryption (all data encrypted in transit and at rest), token-based auth (we store only authentication tokens, which you can revoke anytime), and no credential storage (we never see or store your broker password).

Question 17

What is your refund policy?

Accepted Answer

7-day free trial with no charge if you cancel within 7 days. Monthly subscriptions have no refunds for partial months. Cancel anytime — subscription ends at period close with no further charges. We believe in our service, but trading signals are inherently speculative. We cannot guarantee profits or refund losses from trading.

Question 18

Are you a registered Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA)?

Accepted Answer

No. QuantLogic.io operates as a publisher of standardized trading signals under CFTC Rule 4.14(a)(9), which provides an exemption from CTA registration for publishers who provide the same signals to all subscribers, do not direct or manage individual client accounts, and do not provide advice tailored to individual circumstances.

Question 19

Who is behind QuantLogic.io?

Accepted Answer

QuantLogic.io is operated by DataLogic Process Automation S.L., a technology company based in Marbella, Spain. The service was founded by Douglas Goullet, a trading strategy researcher with over 20 years of experience in systematic strategy development and evaluation. Company address: Ave Ricardo Soriano, 65 Planta 1, 29601 Marbella, Spain. NIF: B93728558.

Question 20

Is futures trading risky?

Accepted Answer

Yes, extremely. Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss. You can lose more than your initial investment. Past performance — including our published track record — is not indicative of future results. You should only trade with capital you can afford to lose entirely. QuantLogic.io signals are not a guarantee of profit.
