Questions, answered plainly.

QuantumMind is a professional crypto-trading engine you run on your own computer. It uses a nine-agent "council" to decide trades on your own exchange account, with safety rails you set and watch. We provide the engine, the access, and the information. We don't give advice or make any promise about outcomes.

No. We never hold your money or your keys, we don't trade on your behalf from our servers, and we are not a broker-dealer, exchange, or investment adviser. You run the software yourself and stay in control of every decision and every dollar.

No, and we never will. QuantumMind makes no promise about profit, return, or performance. Trading digital assets carries real risk, including the loss of your entire balance. What we offer is access, information, control, and ability. The outcomes are yours.

No. Your exchange key is trade-only, stored on your own machine, and never uploaded to us. The engine places orders directly from your computer to your own account. Our servers never see your key and cannot move your money. More detail on the security page.

They hold your license and which features your plan includes, show you a dashboard view of what your engine is doing, and relay controls you choose to send back: pause, council settings, the rails. The cloud is read-only by design: no keys, no custody, no ability to trade for you.

QuantumMind's architecture comes from a founder with 20+ years in enterprise cybersecurity and a career assessing high-assurance systems. Local keys, a read-only cloud, and layered safety rails were the starting point, not an afterthought. See the security page for the full picture.

No. QuantumMind starts in paper mode with simulated money. No exchange account and no keys required. You only connect a real account if and when you decide to go live, and you choose the venue: Coinbase, crypto.com, or Interactive Brokers.

Coinbase and crypto.com for crypto, and Interactive Brokers for US equities, today. You can run the engine on any one, or run several at the same time: the same council, the same safety rails, against whichever account you choose. It stays non-custodial on every venue: your trade-only key or local IBKR Gateway connection lives on your machine, and you can watch every venue live from one dashboard.

Both. The same nine-agent council and the same safety rails run on US equities through your own Interactive Brokers account, paper or live, alongside crypto on Coinbase or crypto.com. One agent seat swaps automatically for the asset class: an equity specialist reading relative strength and trend versus the broader market, in place of the crypto specialist's on-chain and liquidity read.

Windows, and macOS on both Apple Silicon (M-series) and Intel. You download the build for your machine from your dashboard once you're in the alpha. Trading on Interactive Brokers also needs IB Gateway or Trader Workstation running locally, which you already use to log into your own IBKR account.

QuantumMind is in private alpha, by invitation. Request access and we'll be in touch. Once invited, you create an account, confirm your email, and download the app.

Paper mode runs the full engine on simulated money. You watch the council deliberate and the rails work on your live dashboard, with nothing at risk, for as long as you like.

When you're ready, you connect a trade-only key to your own exchange account and pick the live account right from the app's own launch menu. The app states plainly that the run is live before it starts, and you confirm your linked account first. Your capital floor, daily-loss limit, and regime seatbelt run the same in live as in paper. Nothing trades real money until you make that choice.

Nine independent agents, each focused on something different (from tail-risk to momentum to market microstructure), vote buy, sell, or hold every cycle. You see who voted which way and how the engine landed on its decision. No black box.

A capital floor (a value your account won't trade below), a daily-loss breaker (a bad day ends early), a resume threshold, a position-size cap, a regime seatbelt (sit out choppy conditions), an intraday profit-lock that banks the day's gains on a real give-back, a fast trailing stop off the account's recent peak, paper-first, and the ability to pause and take over at any moment, all visible from your dashboard.

A deeper, always-on layer beneath the rails above. It watches order sizing and daily turnover, halts on stale market data rather than trading blind, breaks on a deep drawdown from the account's own peak so a slow multi-day slide can't hide from the daily check, flags orders that repeatedly fail to fill or an exchange behaving like it's in outage or maintenance, and checks your basket for concentration in correlated positions or a single stablecoin. At the platform level, it also watches exposure across accounts and exchanges. None of it is configurable or optional; it runs the same way on every plan and every venue, on top of the rails you set. See the risk controls page for the full list.

Yes. Beyond the council and the rails, you choose the method the engine uses to allocate across your basket. Pick one from a catalog of documented strategies, or pick none and let the council run its default basket logic. It's one method per feed, and you can change it whenever you like.

Two kinds, plus two of our own. Academically documented institutional methods, each with a named paper or framework behind it: equal weight, risk parity, inverse volatility, minimum variance, maximum diversification, trend following, dual momentum, moving-average crossover, volatility targeting, and market-cap weighting. Widely used practitioner and platform methods: grid, mean reversion, breakout, dollar-cost averaging, and a fear-and-greed contrarian. And two QuantumMind-native modes: Split Portfolio, which runs more than one strategy at once on separate slices of your basket, and Auto-Switch, an opt-in mode that can move between a single strategy and a split as conditions change. Each opens to a full write-up of where it comes from, how it works, and exactly how the engine runs it on your account.

No, and we never will. We don't claim any method performs better than another or is right for you. They are documented approaches you can choose and read about in full. The safety rails still apply, and the outcomes are yours.

Yes. Change it on your dashboard and your running bot resets and re-evaluates every holding against the new method within seconds. No restart, no reconnecting. Editing a control by hand hands you manual control and keeps your settings.

No. Paper and live are independent feeds, and so is each exchange, so every feed carries its own strategy. You can run one method live while trying another on paper, on the same machine, without one touching the other.

Yes. Your capital floor, daily-loss breaker, and the risk agent's veto stay active under every strategy and can still move you to cash. The strategy decides how to allocate while invested; your rails always decide whether to be invested at all.

Both. Alongside the loss-side rails (the floor, the daily-loss breaker, the drawdown check), an always-on intraday profit-lock watches each day's own run-up. If a real gain starts giving a meaningful share of itself back off the session high, the engine banks what remains by stepping to cash and re-enters only when the trend reconfirms. A fast trailing stop off the account's recent peak backs it up. Each calendar day is measured on its own, and the protection band adapts to how volatile the market actually is.

Your committed strategy survives restarts. The engine reads it back on startup and resumes exactly what you chose, and the market-regime history it has built for your feed is restored too, so its read on conditions doesn't start from nothing. Restarting the app never silently clears a strategy you committed from the dashboard.

Yes, and this matters. Paper mode charges the venue's own real fee schedule on every simulated fill, so the rehearsal costs what live would. Most paper trading is a fee-free fantasy that quietly overstates results; QuantumMind's paper mode is designed to behave like the live engine in every way that affects your money, fees included, so what you see on paper is an honest preview.

Slowly and on evidence, by design. Auto-Switch compares how candidate strategies would have handled your account's own recent real conditions, and it only moves when the case is strong enough to be worth the switching cost. After any change it holds through a payback period rather than flip-flopping, because undoing a switch before it has paid for itself is value-destroying by its own math. Your own dashboard change is never blocked; the discipline applies only to the automatic switching.

Starter is free and includes paper trading and the full dashboard. Investor is $19/mo, Strategist $49/mo, and Architect $99/mo, adding live trading, more controls, and longer data history. Every plan is access and ability, never a promise about outcomes.

Your account and license details, and trading telemetry from your engine that powers your dashboard. How long that history is kept depends on your plan. We never store your exchange keys.

No. QuantumMind is software for self-directed trading. It is not investment advice, and Quantum Mind LLC is not a broker-dealer or investment adviser. You make every decision. Trading digital assets carries significant risk, including total loss; simulated results are illustrative only and do not predict real outcomes.
