Apply as a beta tester
QANTHOS is in private beta. We’re selecting a small group of systematic traders who will run it on their own portfolios and give us real feedback before launch.
What you get: full free access during the beta, a direct line to the development team and real influence on the roadmap — your feedback shapes which features we build and which problems we solve first. You can also propose features that don’t exist yet — if we consider them useful for all users, they go into the development roadmap.
What we ask: that you’re a systematic trader with a multi-strategy portfolio already running, and that you give us honest feedback.
Fill out the application below. The questions help us understand whether QANTHOS is a fit for you — it’s not a test, it’s to avoid wasting your time.
What QANTHOS can and cannot do on your account
QANTHOS connects to Trader Workstation running on your own machine, through Interactive Brokers’ public API. It reads data. That is all it does.
- It never asks for your IBKR username or password. The connection is local and TWS is logged in by you, not by us.
- It does not place, modify or cancel orders. There is no order routing in the software at all.
- It does not move funds and does not change any account setting.
- Don’t take my word for it — and don’t break your setup to check. The Read-Only API switch in TWS is global: if MultiCharts routes your live orders through the same TWS, turning it on stops MultiCharts from sending orders too. Test it on a paper account instead — log a TWS or IB Gateway session into paper trading, tick File → Global Configuration → API → Settings → Read-Only API, and point QANTHOS at it. Everything keeps working. And whatever happens, any order sent through the API shows up in your IBKR account activity, so nothing could be done quietly.
About the installer: QANTHOS isn’t code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen shows an “Unknown publisher” warning the first time you run it. It’s an unsigned indie build — a code signing certificate comes with the commercial release. If you want to verify the file before running it, ask me and I’ll send you the SHA-256 checksum of your build.
