Performance Protection Program

Performance Protection Program 

Various laws and regulations prevent Us from guaranteeing a ‘return on investment’. However, we are exceedingly confident in the ability of our signals to perform, and have developed a ‘Performance Protection Program’ designed so that We only ‘win’ when You do.

TLDR: If, at the end of your subscription month, the total projected value (measured in USD) derived from trading alerts/signals sent to you is not in excess of how much you paid for your subscription, you can request a pro-rated refund based on the profit you did (or would have) achieved if you took all of those trades, or, in the rare event of NO profit, a refund in full, or a credit in full for that month (your choice).

*Terms apply below.

What the Performance Protection Program Is Not

This program does NOT guarantee an ROI. We can’t. Laws and regulations prevent us from such. Similarly, we cannot, nor do we, directly or indirectly direct any individual’s or entity’s trades, trading, or brokerage account(s) to take any action or actions of any kind. You are the sole person or entity responsible for your own trades and whether or not to choose to take them.

For example, if we send 60 alerts or signals in a given month, only you can determine whether or not to use this information as part of your decision to take or not take a trade. If our signals or alerts produced a theoretical 100% ‘win rate’ as defined below, you would only have benefited from those signals if you had, based on your own research, acted on that information.

What Does the Performance Protection Program Guarantee?

We guarantee that for each subscription month, defined as the period beginning the day of sign-up until the day your monthly subscription renews, the total value of trades that the trade signals were expected to produce will be worth more than the cost of your subscription that month. 

In the event that they are not worth more than your subscription, we will refund the entire difference in FULL, or you may alternatively choose to select a credit on the next month’s subscription cycle (your choice).

In other words, if you took all of the trading signals trades, these trades would have produced a ‘simulated’ or ‘theoretical’ positive return that month above and beyond what you paid for the subscription that period. If they do not, you will be refunded the entire difference in full. Again, we only want to ‘win’ when you do. 

IF YOU ARE NOT MAKING MONEY WE DON’T WANT TO BE EITHER.

BEST OF ALL…IF WE EXCEED THE PROFIT TARGET. YOU GET TO KEEP THE REST ON US, NO CHARGE.

*Because we do not manage nor have access or knowledge of any User’s or subscribers’ financial situation or brokerage or trading accounts, we must treat this calculation as if it were a ‘Simulated Result’, even if you or We took the trade and had a ‘real’ result recorded. As such, we must also reference for you the CFTC mandated disclosure regarding the risks of relying on simulated or theoretical trades, and the limitations of data and projected results regarding such trades. You may find this disclosure in our Terms of Use HERE.

EXAMPLE SCENARIO

Each Signals Subscription on QuantSignal is Optimized for:

1. A monthly profit target
2. Optimized for a certain ticker (i.e. ES/MES, NQ/MNQ, etc.)
3. Optimized for a specific number of contracts per trade

For example, let’s say that a particular subscription on QuantSignal has a daily goal $100 on MES, optimized for 5-contracts, worth $2000/month if successful (not inclusive of any commissions, clearing fees, brokerage fees, etc.).

If your membership is $399.99/mo (just 20% of the projected profit), and the total simulated value in USD for all trade signals sent to you that month does not exceed $399.99, you will have the option of (a) receiving a prorated refund and canceling your service, or (b) receiving a credit in the amount of your normal subscription fee for the next month.

This means that if you only profited $200, you could request a refund of $199.99 ($399.99-$200 = $199.99). If you broke even (i.e. zero profit or losses), you could request a full refund of $399.99. 

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE WAITLIST FOR OUR ALERTS/SIGNALS IS LONG. WE HAVE LIMITED SEATS AVAIALBLE FOR EACH TIER BASED ON INTERNAL OBJECTIVES, AND ONCE A SUBSCRIBER CANCELS THEY MAY NO LONGER BE ABLE TO RE-SUBSCRIBE IN THE FUTURE.

PLEASE NOTE: The ticks and/or points goal(s) are not based on any specific percent return on your capital. We do not ever know how much money any User or subscriber of our Site or Services is working with or willing to risk, nor are we aware of how many contracts they choose to trade, when they choose to trade, or any other aspect of their financial or investment decisions or situation. All calculations, Content, and Services, including but not limited to alerts and signals are directed at a general audience and not customized or tailored in any way to any individual or group of similar individuals or those with similar circumstances.

Performance Protection Program Qualification Terms and Conditions

1. SELECTED THE PERFORMANCE PROTECTION PROGRAM UPGRADE: When selecting a signals subscription plan you have two options. Option one is a standard plan where we charge 20% of the monthly projected profit target for that plan (similar to how hedge funds charge 2+20%). Option two is an upgrade that is set at a rate of 30% of the monthly projected profit target for that plan, but comes with the Performance Protection Guarantee.  In other words, for an additional 10% of the projected profit you can lock in this performance guarantee.

2. GENERATED LESS PROFIT THAN EXPECTED: The total value of simulated trades based on ALL trade signals provided to you in a given subscription period (monthly) must be less than what you paid for the subscription that month. In other words, had you taken all of the trades we provided to you, you would have had a simulated profit or expected profit (or loss) that was less than your subscription costs.

3. MEET THE MARGIN REQUIREMENTS: You must adhere to the minimum margin requirements QuantSignal has optimized the subscription for. For example, we have optimized our algorithm to work with a margin of $500-$1000 per MES contract. If your subscription has a profit target of $100 per day based on 5 contracts traded, you would need 5 x $500-$1000 or $2500 up to $5000 in initial margin in order to qualify for our Performance Protection Program on that subscription tier. If you use the broker’s minimum of say $250 (at Ninjatrader), and you lose money, we cannot honor this Protection Program for your account.

4. CLAIM WINDOW: Make a claim within ten (10) business days from the end of the subscription month you are making the claim for.
