About Us
Built by Traders.
For Traders.
Quantra Trading was founded on a single conviction: that institutional-grade algorithmic execution should not be reserved for hedge funds and proprietary desks. We built the infrastructure — so you can access the edge.

Our Mission
Democratising Systematic Trading
For decades, the most consistent returns in financial markets have come from systematic, rules-based trading — the kind deployed by quantitative hedge funds with teams of engineers and millions in infrastructure.
Quantra Trading exists to change that. We have engineered a multi-asset expert advisor that brings the same discipline, speed, and consistency to individual traders — without requiring them to write a single line of code or monitor a single chart.
Our model is simple: we succeed when you succeed. The 90/10 profit-share structure is not a marketing line — it is the foundation of how we operate. Every improvement to the EA, every infrastructure upgrade, every support interaction is driven by one goal: maximising your returns.
Transparency First
Every trade, every calculation, every distribution is visible. No black boxes, no ambiguity.
Aligned Incentives
We earn only when you earn. Our performance fee is charged on profits, never on losses.
Continuous Improvement
The EA is under constant development. Market conditions evolve — our strategies evolve with them.
Risk Discipline
Capital preservation is the first priority. Every strategy is built with defined risk parameters and drawdown limits.
Our Approach
How the EA Thinks
The Quantra expert advisor is not a simple indicator-based system. It is a multi-layered decision engine that evaluates market conditions across three asset classes simultaneously.
01
Multi-Asset Correlation Analysis
The EA monitors correlations between metals, indices, and crypto in real time — identifying divergences and convergences that create high-probability entry conditions.
02
Dynamic Risk Management
Position sizing, stop-loss placement, and take-profit levels are calculated dynamically based on current volatility — not fixed pip values. Risk per trade is capped at a defined percentage of account equity.
03
Session-Aware Execution
The EA understands market sessions — London, New York, Asian — and adjusts its behaviour accordingly. High-impact news events trigger automatic trade suspension to avoid unnecessary exposure.
04
Continuous Backtesting
Every strategy update is validated against years of historical data before deployment. We do not push untested changes to live accounts.
The Experts Behind the Algorithms
The Disciplines That Power Quantra
Quantra Trading is the product of a multidisciplinary team whose combined expertise spans quantitative research, software engineering, and live market execution. These are the core disciplines that make the platform possible.
Quantitative Research & Strategy Development
Rigorous statistical analysis of historical market data to identify repeatable, edge-generating patterns. Every strategy deployed by the EA is grounded in quantitative research — not intuition.
Algorithmic Engineering & MQL5 Development
Deep expertise in MetaTrader 5 and MQL5 programming, translating complex trading logic into robust, low-latency expert advisors that execute reliably under live market conditions.
Risk Modelling & Capital Preservation
Systematic frameworks for position sizing, drawdown control, and portfolio-level risk management — ensuring that capital protection is never sacrificed for short-term performance.
Multi-Asset Market Microstructure
Practical understanding of how metals, indices, and cryptocurrency markets behave at the execution level — including liquidity dynamics, session behaviour, and institutional order flow.
Infrastructure & VPS Operations
Management of co-located VPS infrastructure positioned close to major FX broker servers, ensuring sub-50ms order execution latency and near-zero downtime for live accounts.
Backtesting & Forward Validation
Comprehensive validation pipelines that test every strategy update against years of tick data before live deployment — eliminating curve-fitting and ensuring robustness across market regimes.
How It Works
Non-Custodial Model
Your funds remain in your broker account at all times. Quantra Trading only executes trades on your behalf — we never touch your capital.
Quantra Trading never holds, accesses, or controls any client funds at any point in this process.
Open a broker account
Client completes onboarding and opens an independent trading account directly with their chosen regulated broker. All funds are held exclusively by the broker.
Share MT5 login credentials
Client provides their MT5 login credentials exclusively to Quantra Trading to enable account integration. No fund access is granted — only trade execution permissions.
EA integration & VPS execution
Quantra Trading integrates the client's broker account with its proprietary software. All trade executions are processed on a secure VPS co-located with major global FX brokers for low-latency, reliable order placement.
End-of-month profit calculation
At month-end, net profits are calculated from the client's account trading activity — gross profits minus trading costs (spreads, commissions, swap).
Client remits two payments
Client independently remits: (1) the 10% performance-based profit share, and (2) the R1,500 monthly platform subscription fee — both paid directly to Quantra Trading.
Non-payment — account disconnection
If full payment (profit share + subscription fee) is not received by the specified due date, the client's account is permanently disconnected from Quantra Trading's software. Trading ceases immediately.
VPS Infrastructure: All trade executions are processed on a secure Virtual Private Server co-located with major global FX brokers — ensuring low-latency order placement and maximum uptime.
Our Journey
From Research to Live Markets
Founded in Johannesburg
Quantra Trading was established in Johannesburg as an arbitrage trading development company, focused on identifying and systematising cross-market pricing inefficiencies.
Metals & Indices R&D
A dedicated research and development initiative was launched focused on metals and indices trading strategies. This work directly led to the inception of the Quantra Trading platform and its multi-asset expert advisor.
EA Development & Backtesting
The first version of the Quantra EA was developed and subjected to rigorous backtesting across multiple years of historical data. Crypto was added as a third asset class.
Live Deployment & Refinement
The EA went live on real accounts. Continuous monitoring, strategy refinement, and infrastructure optimisation based on live market performance data.
Platform Launch
Quantra Trading opened to external clients, offering the subscription-based model with the 90/10 profit-share structure and full member portal access.
