Connection and security
How do I connect an account?
See the stock and crypto steps in the connection guide above. Issue an API key with your brokerage or exchange and register it in Quantus.
Can I register only an account in my name?
Only accounts in your name can be registered. Accounts belonging to another person, including family members, cannot be registered.
Are my account details and assets safe?
Your assets remain in your own account. Quantus only sends orders to the connected account and operates the following security measures.
Encrypted storage: Sensitive information such as API keys and personal data is protected with AES-256 and other industry-leading methods.
Trading-only permissions: Live-trading API keys use only Read / Trade permissions; withdrawal permissions are never requested.
Infrastructure: The Azure-based environment has global security certifications and blocks external threats with firewalls and intrusion detection systems (IDS/IPS).
Live-investment operations
How does live investing run throughout the day?
Operating times depend on the strategy market. All times use Korea Standard Time.
Korean strategies: Portfolio extraction at 22:00 the day before rebalance → trading preparation at 07:00 (cannot cancel) → pre-market orders 08:20–08:30 → regular session 09:00–15:20 → after-hours orders 15:30–15:40 → portfolio updates from 16:00. Complete the next-day rebalance reservation before 21:00.
US strategies: Portfolio extraction at 20:00 → trading preparation at 22:00 (cannot cancel) → regular session 23:30–06:00 the next day → portfolio updates from 10:00 the next day. Complete the same-day rebalance reservation before 19:00.
Global strategies: Portfolio extraction begins at 21:00; after extraction completes, strategy changes and cancellation are available until 22:00. Complete the same-day rebalance reservation before 20:00.
What should I do when an order is not filled?
There can be several reasons for an unfilled order.
Common reasons: insufficient cash, slippage beyond the allowed range, insufficient liquidity, overseas trading or overseas ETP trading not enabled, integrated-margin service not enabled (global strategies).
Solution: Apply for overseas trading and integrated margin at your brokerage. For cash, slippage or liquidity issues, increase the TWAP window and try splitting the trade across several days.
If many positions remain unfilled for two to three business days after trying these steps, contact customer support.
How are additional funds reflected?
For stocks, all additional deposits are automatically reflected at the next allocation adjustment. For crypto, press the increase button to apply the increase; the added amount is then reflected automatically.
Backtests and result differences
Will live investing produce the same result as a backtest?
Live investing and backtests cannot deliver exactly the same returns because of the following differences.
Backtest: Monthly-start rebalance (monthly basis), assumed closing-price fills (zero slippage), all filled within one business day
Live investing: Monthly-start rebalance or first entry on a selected date, trades only within the allowed slippage range, and may not fill everything within one business day
These differences mean live investing cannot guarantee the same result as a backtest. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Why are results different when another service uses the same logic?
Results can differ for several reasons.
Data differences: Data vendor, rebalance date and aggregation unit (Quantus aggregates statistics using daily data)
Logic differences: Backtest logic, indicator definitions and factor calculation logic
Example · PER: Market-cap definition (whether listed shares are considered, etc.) and net-income definition (controlling interest / total, quarterly / annual, TTM / closest filing)
What is a backtest pass (gauge)?
It is used for validation, portfolio extraction and decile tests. It is separate from Q credits and is no longer available for new purchase.
Payments and service
What is the refund policy?
Fixed-term: If you have not used the service at all, you may withdraw within seven days of payment. Even within that period, withdrawal is limited under Article 17(2)(5) of the E-Commerce Act if you have used the service. If a refund is due, it will be returned to the payment method within three business days of receiving your request.
Subscription: Apply directly under the refund policy and process of the platform where the payment was made (Google Play Store, Apple App Store, etc.). After cancelling, you can use the service until the next scheduled payment date; no separate refund is issued for the remaining period.
All passes are fixed-term, one-time purchases and do not renew automatically when the term ends.
What is the VIP service?
Quantus VIP strategies are private strategies designed from Quantus's most advanced algorithms and offered only to a limited group of clients. They pursue optimal outcomes through systematic modeling and risk management that respond to market conditions.
Strategy mix: Four strategies are combined and operated: stock flagship, crypto flagship, crypto arbitrage and options trading (black-swan hedge).
Benefits: 400 days of all Quantus services, one-to-one account-connection support, VIP-only strategies and content, a dedicated VIP manager, and invitations to VIP lectures and events.
Process: Apply for a free consultation through Request a VIP consultation at the bottom of the Plans page; a dedicated manager will contact you within one to two business days. You can review actual strategy results and construction during the consultation.
Performance varies with market conditions, and past performance does not guarantee future results.
