Training in systematic algo trading

From guesswork to a portfolio that trades itself, in 90 days.

Right now every trade depends on your call, and you only find out afterwards whether it was right. In 90 days your first portfolio runs on autopilot on a demo account: strategies generated by algorithms and tested against fixed thresholds.

How a run works

You don’t need a strategy idea. One run, step by step.

Many people think you have to bring a trading idea. Here it’s the other way round: the software invents the rules. You decide where it should search and which tests a strategy has to pass. This is what it looked like for us in September 2026.

  1. 1Set the target You choose the market. You set the timeframe and direction yourself, or let several be tested and decide afterwards; in QANTERIS AUTONOMY an AI helps you with this too. In the example: US dollar against yen, long only, hourly chart. And you write down which test rules apply before anything is computed: metrics with fixed thresholds, for example at most this much decline and at least this many trades. The software takes your specifications as the settings of the run.
    What the computer does

    The software takes your specifications as the settings of the run.

    A brief on one page.
  2. 2Load the data You load about nine years of price data, check it for gaps and enter the real costs per trade. The software includes spread, commission and swap in every test.
    What the computer does

    The software includes spread, commission and swap in every test.

    Clean data. Wrong costs are the most common mistake.
  3. 3Let it invent You start the run and go to sleep. The software combines building blocks such as indicators, entries and exits into new rules and tests each one on past prices.
    What the computer does

    The software combines building blocks such as indicators, entries and exits into new rules and tests each one on past prices.

    1,509,772 invented strategies.
  1. 4Rough filter You set the conditions beforehand and look at what is left. Only what meets the first conditions stays, for example enough trades and a limited decline.
    What the computer does

    Only what meets the first conditions stays, for example enough trades and a limited decline.

    243 strategies.
  2. 5Test hard In the morning you read the log. A series of hard tests (the test chain), ten in total, for example: trading costs one and a half times as high, price data that was hidden during generation, randomly changed order, parameters and prices, a retest on real ticks.
    What the computer does

    A series of hard tests (the test chain), ten in total, for example: trading costs one and a half times as high, price data that was hidden during generation, randomly changed order, parameters and prices, a retest on real ticks.

    38 strategies. Two of them behave almost the same; their monthly results move closely together (high correlation). They count as one family, which leaves 37 independent strategies.
  1. 1,509,772 candidates generated
  2. 243 entered the test chain 0.016 % remain
  3. 38 came through it 15.6 % remain
  4. 37 independent systems in the end 97.4 % remain
Illustration run from one of our own projects: USD/JPY long, hourly chart, cycle 1 of 8 Sep 2026. Process figures from the project log, no statement about trading results. Families by correlation of monthly results, threshold 0.7.
  1. 6Build a portfolio A single strategy has bad phases. That is why you combine several that behave differently: different markets, directions and timeframes. Beforehand you write down how much risk each may take on and at what point one gets switched off. The software calculates how they would have run together and whether they fall together in bad months.
    What the computer does

    The software calculates how they would have run together and whether they fall together in bad months.

    A portfolio with written rules, not put together by feel.
  2. 7Onto the demo account You load the strategies into MetaTrader 5 as small programs (Expert Advisors) and compare the first trades with the simulation. MetaTrader 5 trades automatically, on the demo account with virtual money.
    What the computer does

    MetaTrader 5 trades automatically, on the demo account with virtual money.

    A portfolio that trades without you at the screen.

None of these numbers is a trading result. They show how hard the filtering is: of 1,509,772, 37 remain. Whether and when you use real money is your decision alone, after comparing results on the demo account. This is exactly the process you learn in the course, and QANTERIS STARTER shows you all of it for free.

The path

Build yourself a fully automated portfolio of strategies you understand.

Algorithms generate strategies in series. You test them against fixed metrics and run the best as a portfolio that trades without you at the screen. Without a single line of code. Four stages, none can be skipped, none repairs the one before.

The 90 days apply to the core path up to a running portfolio, that is QANTERIS FOUNDRY and QANTERIS ARCHITECT with 67 blocks, if you work through six blocks a week. At three a week it takes about half a year. You set the pace, the material stays yours.

1 First strategy running

You generate your first strategy with the software and let it trade automatically on a MetaTrader 5 demo account. No more emotion in the trade.

After block 30

A strategy of your own on a demo account, with account overview.

2 Confident user

You generate strategies for any asset in series and decide by metrics against fixed thresholds which ones stay. You do not pick; the numbers pick.

After block 49

A test protocol with metric and threshold for every rejection. End of QANTERIS FOUNDRY.

3 Portfolio running

You build a diversified portfolio across several markets, with correlation limits, risk rules and switch-off thresholds fixed in advance, and deploy it to a MetaTrader 5 instance.

After block 67

A running portfolio with a journal and written thresholds for switching off. End of QANTERIS ARCHITECT.

4 AI in the workflow

The AI evaluates runs autonomously, builds complex projects and generates portfolios. You set the goal and the thresholds, it delivers the evidence, the numbers decide.

After block 85

An AI-assisted workflow from the data series to the account. End of QANTERIS AUTONOMY.

5 systems · 1 switched off by rule · Illustration, not a trading result

What you need

What you need. And which of it costs money.

The course is one thing, the tools are another. So you know what you are getting into beforehand, everything is on one list here.

  • free Community and QANTERIS STARTER
  • free MetaTrader 5, the trading platform your strategies run on
  • free A practice account with virtual money at a broker (demo account), no deposit needed
  • you probably have it A computer that may compute overnight. Or a rented computer in a data center (VPS).
  • QANTERIS A course or the subscription: 1,090 to 1,990 USD once, or 109 USD a month (founder prices until 31 December 2026)
  • from the manufacturer A license for StrategyQuant X, the software you generate strategies with. You can test it for free first; as a participant you get a partner voucher.
  • your choice Your own AI, for example for QANTERIS AUTONOMY
  • optional NinjaTrader, if you want to trade futures, for example. The standard route is MetaTrader 5.
  • not needed Real money. All exercises and milestones run on the demo account. Whether and when you use real money is up to you.

Apart from the course, you only pay for one thing: the software you build with. The license belongs to you, not to us.

Honestly

This is not for everyone. That is on purpose.

We would rather have fewer participants who arrive than many who stop after block three. That is why this comes before the price.

This is for you if you
  • trade by hand and notice that you yourself are the limit.
  • are willing to let a computer compute overnight and read numbers in the morning instead of charts.
  • have, or will get, a license for the software we build with.
  • want rules fixed before the first trade and are willing to let a system hold them.
  • want to base decisions on metrics and thresholds, not on feel. Our numbers included.
This is not for you if you
  • are looking for a signal, a finished robot or a curve to buy.
  • expect a return or a certain trading result. Nobody here promises you that.
  • have no time for blocks in sequence. There is no fast track; everyone walks the whole path.
  • would rather keep trading by hand and only want to be confirmed.

Who is behind it

Sebastian Saupe. Physicist, trainer, in the markets since 2018.

QANTERIS is not an anonymous course portal. Behind the brand is one person who teaches the course himself: Sebastian Saupe, founder of TwinPeaks, in the markets since 2018 and for many years a trainer for manual trading.

His path is the path this course teaches. A physics degree with a focus on applied quantum mechanics, a state-certified trainer, years of trading futures by hand and of training traders. At some point the question came up: why not trade automatically, with clear rules that a computer follows? He found the answer in data, metrics and fixed thresholds. That became QANTERIS.

What he is not: not a signal provider, not an asset manager, not a financial services firm. A trainer, with a certificate.

  • Degree in physics, focus on applied quantum mechanics
  • State-certified trainer (IHK, Germany)
  • TwinPeaks on Trustpilot: 4.8 out of 5 from 84 reviews, as of September 2026

QANTERISSTARTER Included Available now Join the community and you get immediate access to the free QANTERIS STARTER course. It shows you the whole workflow before you decide on a course. 6 blocks, 17 lessons, about 2 hours of video What STARTER covers

This page is in English. Shall we write to you in English too, or would you prefer another language?

By joining you allow us to create an account for you in the community and to email you about it. You can leave at any time.

Which language are you missing?

Optional. We offer content in several languages. Tell us if yours is not among them. That is how we decide which one comes next.

In the community your name appears on every post. That is why first and last name are required, and why only fully completed accounts get access.

Why we need your name and how we handle your address is described in the privacy policy.

Objections

Thirteen questions that come before signing up.

I cannot code.

You do not have to. The core path works without code. Only the in-depth part touches it, and there copying and adapting is enough.

I trade by hand and know nothing about algo trading.

Then you start where QANTERIS FOUNDRY starts: What is a trading system? Which metrics count, which thresholds apply, why can a curve lie? Your market understanding you bring along; deciding by numbers you get here.

I have little time.

Six blocks a week take you through the core path to a running portfolio in 90 days (67 blocks), three a week in about half a year. Blocks can be completed one at a time, and the material stays yours. Prefer a relaxed pace? With the subscription, a new block arrives every week.

Which markets and instruments?

In the course we work with CFDs at a broker as the lead case and with futures via NinjaTrader as the second route. The method does not depend on the instrument: rules, testing and portfolio work for any market with clean data.

What do I need, and what is not included in the price?

The full list is above under “What you need”. In short: apart from the course, the only thing you pay for is the license for the software you generate strategies with, directly from the manufacturer. You can test it for free first. Platform, demo account and computer cost nothing extra: MetaTrader 5 and the demo account are free, and your own computer is enough if it may compute for eight to sixteen hours straight per run. Otherwise you can use a rented computer in a data center (VPS). The computer works while you sleep.

Is a demo account enough to start, and do I need a specific broker?

Yes, a demo account is enough. The course first takes you to a MetaTrader 5 demo account; an account with real money only comes after matching it trade for trade. We do not require a specific broker: it just has to offer CFDs via MetaTrader 5 with clean data, or futures via NinjaTrader.

How much capital do I need?

None that has to go into the market for the course: the whole path, up to the running portfolio, runs on a demo account, and no broker requires a deposit just to take part. Whether and how much capital you put into a real account afterwards is your decision, and we give no advice on that: that would be financial advice, and this course is not that. Your capital stays in your own account with your own broker; we have no access to it. What costs money is listed here: the course, the software license, the computer. You open the demo account with the broker, on their terms. You know all of this before you pay, not after.

Who helps if the software itself does not do what it should?

Two addresses for two things. For questions about the course, the method, or your access, write to us: support@qanteris.com. If the software itself is not working as it should (a bug, a license lock, a crash), that is the manufacturer's matter, because only they have access to the program and the license.

Visit the manufacturer's website

Which language is the course in?

Yours. The course is released in every language this site is available in. The community speaks all of them: you write in your language, others read your post in theirs, and their replies appear to you in yours.

Why not just buy a finished robot?

Because then you are waiting again: for the next update, the next signal, the next explanation why it is not running right now. After this course you no longer wait for the next strategy from anyone. You make it yourself.

What does it cost after the course?

Nothing more for the course you bought. The community stays free, with no term and no card. Two things are optional: access to the knowledge base after the six included months, 19 USD a month and cancellable monthly, and your own AI, which you pay for with its provider, including any plan it requires.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Not a marketing guarantee, but two fixed rules. First: if a course you bought in advance is released later than 4 weeks after the stated date, you get your money back on request. For the complete package, this means the full price if QANTERIS FOUNDRY is late, and that course’s share if QANTERIS ARCHITECT or QANTERIS AUTONOMY is late. Second, the statutory right of withdrawal: 14 days, no reason needed. Before content is unlocked, we obtain your express consent; with that, the right of withdrawal expires for the unlocked content, as is usual for digital content. As long as nothing has been unlocked in the pre-sale, you get the full price back if you withdraw within the period. So take your time reviewing what's included before you buy; we answer questions about it any time at support@qanteris.com.

Read the withdrawal policy

Do you promise results?

No. We promise what you get: the material, the knowledge base and the community. What you build with it is up to you. Whether a system works in the market is decided by the market. There is no proof for that, from anyone, and whoever shows you one is showing you a curve.

Our promise

What you get is fixed. What you make of it is up to you.

You get the complete material and work through it at your own pace. Whether you have reached a stage, the metrics in the course show you yourself; nobody grades you. Three promises about operation come with it, and they apply in every language alike. Once you have worked through all lessons of a course, you automatically receive a confirmation of participation.

Access

A course you bought has no expiry date for as long as we operate QANTERIS. If we ever stop, we will tell you at least three months in advance and you can download the workbooks and templates. There is no fixed start date and no enrollment deadline. With the subscription you have access for as long as it runs.

Term

The community costs nothing and has no term. With a purchase, access to the knowledge base is included for six months and simply expires afterwards. Nothing renews silently. If you want to keep it, you book actively: 19 USD a month, cancellable monthly, no retention call, no hidden form. You cancel the subscription the same way, at the end of the month.

Contact

One email to support@qanteris.com handles sign-up, booking and questions, any time. Members reach us in the community as well. We answer in writing, with what is in your contract, not with what sounds better.

Further reading

For everyone who wants to go deeper.

Trading by hand hits a limit. Its name is: you.

Fear, greed and fatigue always trade along, even with a lot of discipline. A strategy with fixed rules does not have this limit. Which traps still lie in wait, for example thousands of trades with a holding time of zero, is shown in the e-book.
