QT Funded review
QT Funded is the prop trading brand of the Quant Tekel group. Its evaluations are provided by Quant Tekel LLC, registered in St Vincent and the Grenadines, with customer payments processed by Quant Tekel Ltd in London, while a separate group company holds a broker licence in South Africa. Accounts trade on MetaTrader 5 or TradeLocker, and residents of the United States must use TradeLocker. There are five plans. QT One is a one step evaluation with a 6% target, a 3% daily limit that moves up with the previous day's close and a 6% static maximum loss, with no minimum trading days. QT Two needs 8% and then 5%, with a 4% daily limit, an 8% maximum loss and four trading days per phase. QT Power needs 6% in each of two phases under a 35% consistency rule. The Buy Now Pay Later plan is a one step account that costs $2.50 to start, with an activation fee after passing, and QT Instant skips the evaluation. List prices run from $35 for a $5,000 QT Power to $1,000 for a $100,000 QT One or a $200,000 QT Two. Splits are 70% on QT One, 80% on QT Two, QT Power and Buy Now Pay Later, and 100% on QT Instant, and funded accounts carry floating loss limits of 1% to 2%.
Suits
Active intraday traders who keep floating losses very small and want a low cost entry or a 100% split on an instant account.
Less suited to
Avoid QT Funded if you hold trades through deep floating losses, trade less than once a week, or want uncapped withdrawals on a two step account.
Pros
- QT One can be passed in a single day, with no minimum trading days and no consistency rule, and pays every four trading days.
- QT Power costs $35 for a $5,000 account and $475 for $100,000, and the news rule does not apply to it.
- The Buy Now Pay Later plan costs $2.50 to start, with the activation fee due only after passing.
- QT Instant pays a 100% profit split on a four day cycle.
- Payout requests are processed within 24 business hours, by crypto or wire.
Cons
- Funded QT One and QT Two accounts must not let combined floating losses exceed 1% of the account size.
- QT Two and the Buy Now Pay Later plan cap profit at 5% per payout cycle.
- QT One pays a 70% split and closes accounts after seven days without a trade.
- QT Two bans opening or closing trades around major news and requires a stop loss within 60 seconds once funded.
- QT Instant needs 8% profit before the first 5% payout and a 30% consistency score.
Verdict
QT Funded offers low entry prices and a wide choice of structures, from the $2.50 Buy Now Pay Later start and a $35 QT Power account to a QT Instant account that pays a 100% split. QT One can be passed in a single day with no consistency rule and pays every four trading days, and QT Power is exempt from the news rule. The trade off is a dense set of funded stage rules that decide whether profit can be withdrawn. QT One closes accounts whose combined floating loss exceeds 1%, QT Two treats the same limit as a soft breach first and requires a stop loss within 60 seconds, QT Instant allows 1% per instrument, and the Buy Now Pay Later plan caps floating losses at 2%. QT Two and the Buy Now Pay Later plan also cap profit at 5% per cycle, with anything above it removed before the next cycle, and QT Instant needs 8% profit before a first 5% payout. QT Two bans opening or closing trades five minutes either side of major releases, inactivity rules close accounts after 7 or 14 days without a trade, and risk interviews can be required before a payout. Several help centre articles still describe discontinued plans with different figures. Trustpilot shows a rating of 3.6 from more than 13,000 reviews. The firm suits active intraday traders who keep floating losses small and value low entry costs over room to hold trades through drawdowns.
