Eon Quant

What is Eon Quant?

Eon Quant publishes model portfolios of systematic trading strategies that subscribers can copy into their own broker accounts, at a trading size they set.

The strategies follow fixed rules and run on one engine, which publishes every trade of the model portfolio. The money and the positions stay in the subscriber’s own account, at their broker.

What is a model portfolio?

One set of trades published for everyone who follows it: the same positions for every subscriber, tailored to no one. A subscriber who switches copying on has those trades placed in their own account, scaled to their trading size.

It is not a fund: nothing is pooled, each account stays in its owner’s name, and Eon Quant never holds subscribers’ money.

Who is behind Eon Quant?

Eon Quant’s own team builds and runs the engine behind its model portfolios, and the research that decides which strategies join them.

More on who we are and how a strategy earns its place, on How it works.

Is this investment advice?

No. Eon Quant publishes model portfolios: the same trades for every subscriber, tailored to no one. It is information only, not investment advice, and Eon Quant does not manage accounts.

There is no suitability check: whether to copy, and at what trading size, is each subscriber’s own decision.

Copying and your account

How does copying into my own broker account work?

You link a broker account in your name to our platform and switch copying on. While it is on, each trade the model portfolio publishes is placed in your account automatically, at the trading size you set. You can pause or stop at any time.

Your broker holds the money and the positions, and every order shows there. The model’s stops and targets do not reach your account: positions are copied, and when the model closes one, the close is copied too.

Does Eon Quant hold my money or my broker login?

No. Your money and your positions stay at your broker, in an account in your name. Eon Quant never holds your money, your logins or your passwords, and never moves money.

Can I stop at any time?

Yes, from Your portfolio. Pause, and your open positions stay in your account without a stop or target, because the model’s stops and targets never reach it. Or choose “Stop copying and close my positions”, and they close at the market price. While copying is on, do not trade the account by hand: a trade by hand switches off the automatic sync that keeps your account in line with the portfolio.

Cost and joining

How much does it cost?

Portfolio T1 is $550 a month, in US dollars: one fixed fee, with no performance fee. Commissions and spreads are paid to your broker.

The simulated figures on this site are after estimated trading costs and before the subscription. See the fee schedule.

What is the minimum account?

Portfolio T1 needs a broker account of $100,000 or more. Futures and forex trade in whole contracts and lots, so a smaller account would carry positions out of proportion to its size.

Portfolios for larger accounts are in preparation; their minimums are not yet set.

Who can subscribe?

Subscription is by invitation. It starts with a 30-minute introduction call with our team; then we check your country and the minimum. There is no suitability check or investment advice.

You need an account of $100,000 or more at a broker our platform supports: personal, company or trust, as the broker accepts. To request an invitation, write to us.

Strategies and results

Which markets do the strategies trade?

Equities, forex, and index and commodity futures.

Equity, futures and forex markets are deep and allow short positions as well as long; futures and forex trade for most of the day. Futures are exchange-traded and centrally cleared: every participant holds the same standardised contract.

How are the strategies tested?

Each strategy we build is fitted on earlier years, then judged, with its rules frozen, on later years and on related markets. Its result is discounted for every variant tried before it, so it has to beat the best that luck alone would produce in that many attempts. The nine tests are set out on How it works.

Are the results on this site from real trading?

No. The figures are hypothetical: a simulation of the portfolio’s current strategies, after estimated trading costs and before the monthly subscription, not actual trading. The strategies were chosen and sized with hindsight.

Past and simulated performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. How results are shown sets out each kind of result.

What happens in a drawdown?

The rules stay fixed; the size adjusts. While the model is below its previous high, new trades are sized down in proportion to the fall, so a losing stretch is not traded at full size. Actual losses can be larger than in the simulation.

Risk

What are the risks?

You can lose money. Futures and forex are leveraged: you can lose more than you deposit. A trading size above your account’s value is leverage too, and losses grow in proportion. Your account will not match the model exactly.
