RISK & SECURITY

Boundaries you can see.

Trading permissions can expose an account to losses. QuantX keeps pausing, cancelling and closing distinct so each consequence is explicit, and it shows the live state of its provider connections and order gate.

OPERATIONSREADING STATE
  • Reading provider state…Checking—
  • Order submissionCheckingThis deployment cannot submit an order for any account.

READ THIS FIRST

Loss is possible.

Leverage, margin, gaps, funding costs, broker spreads and market closures can all work against a position. QuantX controls what it submits and how it records it; it cannot control the market, the venue or your account agreement.

  • Nothing here is investment advice or a recommendation.
  • Past or simulated results do not indicate future results.
  • Gold availability, hours, margin and financing depend on the broker product.

ENFORCED IN ORDER

THE CONTROL LADDER.

Every step is checked server-side before an order intent exists. A failure at any step stops the order rather than downgrading it.

  1. 01

    Authenticated owner

    A server-side session bound to an HttpOnly cookie, with CSRF verification on every state-changing request.

    Blocks: Anonymous or forged requests
  2. 02

    Explicit authorization

    The owner records consent for named products, order types and a maximum allocation, with a second-factor check when enrolled.

    Blocks: Implicit or inherited consent
  3. 03

    Product eligibility

    Crypto products are limited to the adapter allowlist; gold requires the broker account instrument list to contain XAU_USD.

    Blocks: Instruments the account cannot trade
  4. 04

    Data freshness

    A decision only proceeds on completed bars with a verifiable source time. Missing or stale data stays unavailable.

    Blocks: Acting on stale or unverifiable prices
  5. 05

    Risk reservation

    Per-account maximum order notional, total exposure and daily loss limits are enforced before an intent is written.

    Blocks: Orders beyond the configured limits
  6. 06

    Durable order intent

    Idempotent intents and a transactional outbox stop a repeated signal or repeated click from creating a second economic order.

    Blocks: Duplicate orders
  7. 07

    Reconciliation

    Venue acknowledgements, fills, fees and an uncertain order state are reconciled against the venue instead of assumed.

    Blocks: Invented fills and silent divergence
