Six Ways to Know If An Autotrading Solution Might Be Worth Trusting With Your Capital

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 14:37:06 -0500

#6 -The firm does NOT rely on overseas brokerage firms (who may trade against you)

InvestiQuant (iQ) avoids risky overseas brokerages and only utilizes highly regulated brokers registered with U.S securities agencies.

#5 -The firm’s strategies were NOT developed by retail traders who have no professional experience creating and managing scalable investment solutions

iQ’s strategies were built by previously registered Series 3 traders who managed and traded tens of millions of dollars of investors’ capital as licensed professionals prior to launching InvestiQuant’s autotrading solutions.

#4 - Clients do NOT have to wonder if the autotrading firm actually trades the same strategies they promote

U.S registered brokers are available to verify that iQ only offers strategies to clients that iQ, its shareholders and employees trade and rely on with their own capital.

#3 -The firm does NOT utilize risky Martingale or related techniques

Unlike some trading “experts” and many AI and forex bots, iQ strategies don’t double-down on losing trades or use other risky techniques to generate gains — a key reason why clients have trusted InvestiQuant for over 16 years.

#2 -Client orders are NOT executed independently (“first come, first served”)

iQ clients’ orders are executed at the same time and price averaged by each broker for client fairness. They are NOT at the back of the line (behind the company’s executives and early clients who are front-running them) receiving different / worse prices and results.

#1 -The firm prioritizes results over revenue and does NOT sell ‘unlimited licenses’ or ‘lifetime access’ to clients

Because InvestiQuant and its team rely on the same strategies, they strictly manage client utilization by charging recurring license fees for the amount of trading volume utilized. (Why would anyone with a legitimate edge NOT do that?)

Futures trading programs have large potential rewards, but also large potential risks and are not suitable for everyone. You must be willing to accept these risks in order to invest in the futures markets. The past performance of any trading system or methodology is not necessarily indicative of future results and may not account for license fees. You should expect larger drawdowns in the future than those shown in historical and hypothetical results.

CFTC RULE 4.41 - HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER-OR-OVER COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED TRADING PROGRAMS IN GENERAL ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFIT OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN.

InvestiQuant is not a registered commodity trading advisor and does not provide personalized advice. Only consider futures trading and notional funding after careful consultation with a futures broker.
