Why QuantLab

Stop Trading Ideas. Start Trading Systems.

Most traders spend years jumping between strategies, indicators and opinions.

We take trading concepts from research, test them against historical data, and turn the ideas that survive our testing into automated MT5 algorithms.

The process

From Research to Execution

01
Research
We study trading concepts and published research to identify ideas worth testing.
Published ideas → Defined rules
02
Test
We test the rules, robustness and performance before turning an idea into an algorithm.
Historical data → Robustness
03
Automate
If it passes our testing process, we turn it into an MT5 algorithm that executes the rules automatically.
Strategy rules → MT5 execution

Inside the algorithm

What Does the Algorithm Actually Do?

QuantLab algorithms are not signals you have to manually follow.

They run directly inside MetaTrader 5 and handle the execution according to the strategy rules.

Execution frameworkMetaTrader 5

Entry: Automatically identifies valid setups and enters trades.
Exit: Automatically manages exits according to the strategy.
Risk: Automatically calculates position size based on your settings.
Execution: No staring at charts. No manual clicking.

Illustrative workflow · Execution follows your strategy and risk settings.

Research

Built From Ideas That Survive Testing.

We are not trying to predict every market move.

We focus on finding simple, testable rules that have demonstrated an edge historically, then automate them.

Backtested on historical data, costs and slippage included. Simulated results are not indicative of future results.

Backtest report: Session-Open Momentum on NAS100, equity curve split into in-sample and out-of-sample with profit factor, t-stat and win rate tables — In-sample vs out-of-sample equity. The right half was never used to pick the rules.Backtest

Session-Open Momentum Monte-Carlo fan chart with 4,000 resampled equity paths, monthly return heatmap and drawdown distribution — Same trades reshuffled by luck. Monte-Carlo tests sequence risk, not future edge.Backtest

Backtest report: Gold Momentum on XAUUSD, equity curve from $10,000 split into in-sample and out-of-sample, with profit factor, win rate, drawdown and the three strategies explained — Three uncorrelated gold strategies. In-sample vs out-of-sample equity at 0.6% risk per trade.Backtest

Gold Momentum Monte-Carlo fan chart with 4,000 resampled equity paths, monthly return heatmap, and distributions of final return, drawdown and per-trade result — Same trades reshuffled by luck. Monte-Carlo tests sequence risk, not future edge.Backtest

How Adaptive Risk sizes each trade

Adaptive Risk

Same bot, same settings. It sizes to the day.

Adaptive Risk trades bigger when the market moves more and smaller when it is calm. Never above 2× or below 0.5× your chosen risk.

Simplified illustration of the Adaptive Risk logic, not a guarantee of future results.

Illustration: market movement above, resulting trade size below; quiet periods produce smaller trades, big moves produce larger ones

Illustration: a quiet choppy day where the bot risks 0.5× versus a strong momentum day where it risks up to 2×

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Everything you need to know before choosing your access.

01What is QuantLab?

QuantLab develops automated MT5 trading algorithms based on trading research and systematic strategy ideas.

02Do I need to know how to trade?

No. The algorithms execute the predefined strategy rules automatically. You still need to understand the risks of automated trading and choose your own risk settings.

03What is the free option?

The free option gives you access to selected QuantLab algorithms when using Vantage.

04Why do I need Vantage for the free algorithms?

Our free access model is supported through our Vantage partnership. If you want to use supported brokers or prop firms without the Vantage requirement, Premium is the option.

05Can I use QuantLab with a prop firm?

Prop-firm use is available through Premium, subject to the individual prop firm's rules and restrictions.

06Do the algorithms send signals?

No. QuantLab is focused on automated execution. The algorithms run directly inside MT5 and manage trades according to their programmed rules.

07Do I need MetaTrader 5?

Yes. QuantLab algorithms are built to run on MetaTrader 5.

08Is there a guaranteed profit?

No. Trading involves risk. Historical or backtested performance does not guarantee future results.
