Proof Before Promotion

QuantSignals will not present an illustrative session, paper result, backtest, or testimonial as verified live FST performance. This page defines the evidence standard.

Key Takeaways

• QuantSignals does not currently publish a broker-verified public live FST performance record.
• Paper trading, backtests, model outputs, illustrative sessions, and live results must always be labeled separately.
• Any future performance report must include its period, verification method, fees, slippage assumptions, drawdown, losing outcomes, and complete trade-level records.
• A marketing example is not evidence of what a typical user should expect.
• Until a verified record exists, the appropriate way to evaluate FST is to observe its workflow and controls in paper trading.

The Current Public Evidence Status

As of July 25, 2026, QuantSignals has not published a broker-verified public live track record for FST. The website may explain product behavior and show clearly labeled illustrative or paper examples, but those examples are not claims about expected investment performance.

A future FST performance record should show the complete distribution rather than selected winners. That means wins, losses, rejected plans, aborted orders, inactive sessions, fees, estimated slippage, drawdown, and the exact distinction between paper and live execution.

The machine-readable QuantSignals claim register records the product statements currently approved for public use. A result will not be described as verified, audited, live, or representative unless the supporting method and records justify that exact label.

How It Works

1. Classify the evidence — Label every result as illustrative, backtested, paper, or live before displaying any number.
2. Preserve the full record — Keep signal, decision, risk, order, fill, monitoring, exit, fee, slippage, and reconciliation records without removing losing or rejected outcomes.
3. Define the calculation — State the period, capital base, benchmark, fees, estimated slippage, inclusion rules, and treatment of open positions.
4. Verify the source — Identify the broker records, independent verifier, or other evidence used and the exact scope of that verification.
5. Publish limitations beside results — Present risks and material limitations with the result rather than hiding them in a distant disclaimer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does QuantSignals publish verified FST returns today?

No. QuantSignals does not currently publish a broker-verified public live FST performance record.

Are QS paper results the same as live trading results?

No. Paper trading is hypothetical and can differ materially from live execution because of liquidity, fills, slippage, fees, latency, account constraints, and user behavior.

Will QuantSignals show losing FST trades?

The stated proof standard requires the complete distribution, including losing, rejected, aborted, and inactive outcomes, rather than a selected highlights reel.

What should I evaluate before verified performance is available?

Evaluate whether FST follows the configured workflow: evidence, risk checks, order preview, approval policy, execution state, monitoring, reconciliation, audit history, and stop controls. Start in paper trading.

Where is the machine-readable claim register?

The public claim register is available at https://quantsignals.xyz/claims.json.
