QuntaTradeAI Docs
Everything you need to connect your exchange, configure risk, and let the AI trade on your behalf — no technical background required.
How QuntaTradeAI Works
QuntaTradeAI is a fully autonomous trading agent that connects to your exchange accounts and trades on your behalf around the clock. Every few minutes the system:
- →Pulls live price data, order book depth, and funding rates for every asset you selected
- →Computes a full suite of technical indicators — RSI, MACD, ATR, Bollinger Bands, EMA
- →Submits the full market picture to a panel of AI models for independent analysis
- →Reaches a consensus decision and validates it against your personal risk limits
- →Places the order (or skips, if the risk check fails) and logs the reasoning
Once set up, the agent runs continuously without any action from you. You watch the dashboard, review decisions, and adjust settings at any time.
The AI Council — Collective Intelligence
Most AI trading tools rely on a single model. QuntaTradeAI uses a multi-model consensus architecture. Several independent AI agents, each with different training data and reasoning styles, analyse the same market snapshot simultaneously and vote on what to do.
Active AI Agents
Each agent independently returns a structured decision — buy, sell, or hold — along with a confidence score, suggested allocation, and its reasoning. The consensus engine then:
- →Weights each vote by that model's recent accuracy on the same asset class
- →Discards outlier votes that deviate significantly from the group
- →Requires a 60% supermajority before any buy or sell is executed
- →Defaults to hold when consensus cannot be reached — protecting your capital by inaction
This eliminates single-model blind spots, reduces false signals, and produces decisions with meaningfully higher confidence than any individual model alone. Every decision and its rationale is visible in real time on your dashboard.
Supported Venues
Connect any combination of these exchanges and brokers — simultaneously if you wish:
You connect each venue through the Settings → Connected Venues page using only an API key and secret — no other setup required.
Getting Started — Four Steps
- 1Create your accountSign up with your email at the top of this page. You'll be guided through a short onboarding to personalise your experience. No credit card required.
- 2Connect your exchangeGo to Settings → Connected Venues and add your API key for any supported exchange. Your keys are encrypted end-to-end and never stored in plain text. See the next section for how to generate a safe API key on each platform.
- 3Review your risk limitsGo to Settings → Risk Settings. The defaults are conservative — 3% max position, 2x leverage, 2.5% mandatory stop-loss. Adjust only once you understand how the system behaves in your market conditions.
- 4Start the agentReturn to the Dashboard and click Start Agent. Enable Paper Trading first to watch the agent make real decisions with no capital at risk.
Connecting Your Exchange — API Key Guide
QuntaTradeAI connects to exchanges via API keys. You always stay in control — the agent can only place and close orders, never withdraw funds. Follow the guide for your exchange:
Hyperliquid
- 1Go to app.hyperliquid.xyz and connect your wallet.
- 2Navigate to Settings → API and click Generate API Wallet. This creates a key scoped only to trading — it cannot withdraw funds from your account.
- 3Copy the generated private key and your main account address.
- 4Paste both into Settings → Connected Venues → Add Venue (type: Hyperliquid).
- 5Start with the Testnet toggle ON to validate the connection before using real funds.
💡 The Hyperliquid API wallet is revocable at any time from Settings → API on their platform.
Binance
- 1Log in to binance.com. Go to Account → API Management and click Create API.
- 2Enable Spot & Margin Trading and Enable Futures only. Never enable withdrawal permissions.
- 3Restrict the key to your IP address under IP Access Restriction for extra security.
- 4Copy the API Key and Secret Key (the secret is shown only once).
- 5Paste both into Settings → Connected Venues → Add Venue (type: Binance).
💡 Use the Binance Futures Testnet first — it's a free sandbox with play-money balances that behaves exactly like the live exchange.
OANDA (Forex)
- 1Go to oanda.com and open a free Practice Account — no ID or funding required.
- 2Log in and go to My Account → Manage API Access.
- 3Click Generate under Personal Access Token and copy the token.
- 4Find your Account ID on the OANDA dashboard (a number like 101-001-12345678-001).
- 5Paste both into Settings → Connected Venues → Add Venue (type: OANDA). Leave mode set to Practice.
💡 OANDA practice accounts mirror live market conditions exactly. Trade with them for at least a week before switching to a live account.
MetaTrader 4/5 (via MetaAPI)
- 1Sign up free at app.metaapi.cloud. No credit card required for the basic tier.
- 2In the MetaAPI dashboard, click 'Add MT account' and select your broker from the list.
- 3Enter your MT4 or MT5 login credentials. MetaAPI connects to your broker on your behalf.
- 4Once the account is synchronised, copy your MetaAPI Token and MT Account ID from the dashboard.
- 5Paste both into Settings → Connected Venues → Add Venue (type: MetaTrader).
💡 MetaAPI supports over 500 brokers including IC Markets, Pepperstone, XM, and IG. A free MetaAPI account includes 1 demo MT account at no cost.
Alpaca (US Stocks & Crypto)
- 1Create a free account at app.alpaca.markets. Paper trading is enabled immediately.
- 2In the Alpaca dashboard, go to Overview and click 'Your API Keys' on the right side.
- 3Click 'Generate New Key'. Copy both the API Key ID and Secret Key (the secret is shown once).
- 4For paper trading, use the paper keys (URL contains 'paper-api.alpaca.markets').
- 5Paste both into Settings → Connected Venues → Add Venue (type: Alpaca).
💡 Alpaca paper trading is free and mirrors live market data. Switch to a live account by depositing funds and generating a live key from the same dashboard.
Interactive Brokers (IBKR)
- 1Download and install Trader Workstation (TWS) or IB Gateway from interactivebrokers.com.
- 2Log in to TWS / IB Gateway and go to Edit → Global Configuration → API → Settings.
- 3Enable 'ActiveX and Socket Clients'. Note the port (default 7497 for paper, 7496 for live).
- 4Set 'Client ID' to 0 or any unique number (used to identify the app connection).
- 5In QuntaTradeAI Settings → Connected Venues, add IBKR and set host (127.0.0.1), port, and client ID.
💡 IBKR requires TWS or IB Gateway to be running on the same machine as the QuntaTradeAI backend. It is not compatible with cloud-only deployments. Use IB Gateway (lighter than TWS) for server use.
Polymarket (Prediction Markets)
- 1Create a fresh Ethereum wallet (e.g. MetaMask → 'Create new account'). Do NOT use your main wallet.
- 2Fund this new wallet with USDC on Polygon (Matic chain). You can bridge from Ethereum at app.polymarket.com.
- 3Export the private key from MetaMask: Account Details → Show Private Key. It starts with 0x.
- 4Paste the private key into Settings → Connected Venues → Add Venue (type: Polymarket).
- 5Start with Paper mode — no funds are moved while paper trading is active.
💡 Always use a dedicated trading wallet for Polymarket — never paste the private key of a wallet that holds significant funds. Your key is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before storage. Connect Wallet (MetaMask in-browser) is coming soon to avoid pasting keys entirely.
Other Exchanges (Kraken, OKX, Bybit, KuCoin, Gate.io…)
- 1Create an API key on your chosen exchange — enable trade permissions only, no withdrawals.
- 2IP-whitelist the key where the exchange allows it.
- 3Add it in Settings → Connected Venues → Add Venue, choose the correct exchange from the CCXT dropdown.
- 4Some exchanges (Coinbase, OKX) also require a Passphrase — enter it in the optional Passphrase field.
💡 Over 100 exchanges are supported. If yours is not shown as a native option, select CCXT and pick your exchange from the list.
Risk Configuration — Protect Your Capital
Every order the agent attempts is validated against your personal risk rules before it reaches the exchange. If any rule is violated, the order is blocked and logged — no exceptions.
These defaults are intentionally conservative. You can change any of them in Settings → Risk Settings. Changes take effect immediately — the running agent picks them up on the next tick.
⚠️ We strongly recommend leaving these at their defaults until you have at least two weeks of paper trading history to review. The defaults are designed to survive a bad week without significant capital loss.
Paper Trading — Test Without Risk
QuntaTradeAI lets you run the full system — live AI council, real market data, real signals — without risking any money. In paper trading mode, every decision is logged and simulated positions are tracked on the dashboard exactly as they would be in a live account. Nothing touches your exchange balance.
- →Toggle paper mode per venue in Settings → Connected Venues — flip the Paper / Live switch
- →The dashboard shows virtual PnL, open positions, and all AI decisions in real time
- →Paper mode and live mode can run simultaneously on different venues
- →All risk rules still apply in paper mode — so the behaviour you observe is identical to live
💡 Run paper trading for at least 2 weeks before going live. Watch how the agent handles a volatile day, a trending market, and a choppy sideways period before trusting it with real capital.
Going Live — Checklist
Before switching any venue from Paper to Live, confirm:
- →You have reviewed at least 2 weeks of paper trading decisions and are satisfied with the strategy
- →Your risk limits in Settings are set to values you are comfortable with
- →Your API key has no withdrawal permissions — trading only
- →You have funded your exchange account with an amount you can afford to lose entirely
- →You understand that past paper performance does not guarantee future live results
When ready, go to Settings → Connected Venues, find your venue, and flip the switch from Paper to Live. The agent will begin placing real orders on the next tick.
⚠️ Start with the smallest viable capital allocation. You can always add more once you have confirmed the system is behaving as expected on your account.
FAQ
Do I need any technical knowledge to use QuntaTradeAI?
No. Setup takes about 5 minutes — create an account, connect your exchange API key, and click Start Agent. Everything else is automatic.
Are my API keys safe?
Yes. Keys are encrypted end-to-end with AES-256-GCM before being stored. They are never visible to our servers in plain text, and only used to place orders on your behalf.
Can the agent withdraw my funds?
No, and you should ensure it never can. When generating an API key on any exchange, enable trade permissions only — never enable withdrawals. Our guide above walks through this for each exchange.
What happens if the AI models disagree?
The consensus engine requires a 60% supermajority to act. If the AI council cannot agree, the agent holds and logs the disagreement. Your capital is protected by inaction.
Can I trade forex and crypto at the same time?
Yes. Connect multiple venues and they all run simultaneously. Each venue has its own paper/live toggle, risk profile, and AI decisions shown on the dashboard.
What happens if an exchange goes down or loses connection?
The agent catches the error, skips that tick, and retries automatically on the next interval. Open positions are not affected. You will see the error logged in the dashboard.
Can I stop the agent at any time?
Yes. Click Stop Agent on the dashboard at any time. Open positions remain open — the agent simply stops placing new orders until you restart it.
What is the minimum amount I need to start?
There is no minimum set by QuntaTradeAI. Each exchange has its own minimum order size (typically $10–$50 per trade). With a 3% max position size, you would need at least $300–$1,000 to place a meaningful first trade.
