Hi, sorry i know its in the wrong section, but i have just 2 post i cant post in the broker section
have you ever tried investiquant? investiquant .com
PS: i have found 0 review about this site, but seems interesting
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
I joined one of their webinars and apparently kept asking uncomfortable questions and they muted me
If their system was so good they could sell it on a performance based fees and generate huge sums from profit split with virtually no additional risk. Yet, it's only available after upfront payment Makes much sense

Hi Trader789, we thought it would be helpful to respond to your message since you are not a client and may not be aware.
We have hundreds of satisfied clients and have served many more since our founding as Master The Gap in 2008. Most clients are investors and not traders and that’s why many here don’t know us. We have an A+ rating with the BBB and did have a negative review from a newbie trader in 2017 who incurred a ~10% drawdown and then canceled. We are and have always been, very upfront that drawdowns are a part of trading. We contacted the gentleman afterward and he apologized for leaving a poor review while it was performing as expected.
We believe the site you referenced is a scam. They never contacted us and their information is completely false. We contacted them multiple times to correct the grossly misleading and incorrect info, but they never responded. It appears to us the site was designed to give fake reviews of companies in order to promote their own products. (FWIW, their FB page is guaranteeing 25% monthly returns on their product).
In regards to our automated trading program. It systematically day trades the ES. It has been trading live for 10 months (since June 2020) with brokerage-verified returns in excess of $30,000. We would be happy to provide proof as well as provide client references. We can also put you in contact with the brokers who oversee the execution of the program in clients’ accounts.
You are right to “verify before you trust” in this industry. We appreciate the opportunity to respond and welcome further questions.
We are very sorry that all of your questions were not answered. We honestly do our best and typically answer 30-50 questions during our webinars (and try to ensure we answer at least one from everyone as time allows). If you have a specific question that we didn’t answer, feel free to post it right here and we will answer it.
In regards to our fees, we have found a fixed, upfront fee encourages clients to stick with the program for an entire year and not bail during drawdowns - thereby maximizing the odds of achieving their goals and our targeted returns. That said, we do offer performance-based programs to select family offices and QEP investors and this allows us to share in the upside of our strategies too.
Bottom line: We respect the fact that some may not like our pricing model, however, we believe it a win/win for our clients and company. With such strong returns and unique diversification benefits, our clients are happy to pay upfront and keep a larger percentage of the gains for themselves.

Correct, we do not offer a money-back guarantee. We believe the program is likely to continue to perform in a similar fashion to how it has in the past, but we can’t guarantee that. However, we are well aware that if you don’t make money trading the program, you're probably not going to renew. Our business depends on the success of our clients and frankly, that’s one of the reasons we’ve been serving traders and investors since 2008.
We are happy to verify the performance of our strategies and answer any additional questions or concerns.

Your first question: “Do you have a single auto trading system that has verified live performance for at least 2-3 years?”
Answer: YES.
The iQ Core I Portfolio began trading live on Jan 18, 2017, and has generated $22.8k in total net gains (91.2 % return per $25k funding level since inception). Supporting brokerage statements are available. In addition, our CEO and head trader, Scott Andrews, has 3rd party verified returns based on automated trading of our strategies (2012-2017).
Your second question: “... that has paying customers and you are still selling licenses for this system?”
Answer: NO. This program still has paying clients, however, it is no longer available to new clients.
However, per the above, we began trading our newest autotrading program in June 2020 and closed the iQ Core Portfolio to new clients as we began offering our newest program. It uses some of the same strategies as the Core, but more importantly utilizes an improved risk management algorithm. Per our prior response, it has been quite profitable in live trading. Like all quality intraday trading programs, capacity is limited.
Though we are very confident in this program and our strategies, past performance may not be indicative of future results. Trading is risky and may not be suitable for all investors.

Trader789, Go easy on yourself. Our interactive Discover research and signal platform is designed for professional and full-time traders who have sizable accounts and are interested in trading with quantified statistical edges. Depending on your trading beliefs and skills, it may not be useful for you. FWIW, we believe most of our retail clients do better using the autotrading program instead of our research platform.

Hi Trader789, apologies if you misunderstood my message - it certainly was not intended to insult you. I simply stated our Discover platform may not be useful for everyone. The fact that you tried it for a week and did not find anything useful for your trading, proves it simply isn’t a good fit for you, nothing more.
However, all of the automated strategies that we trade are based on statistical edges available in the platform. But edges alone are not enough. Profitability comes from execution, discipline, risk management, proper positioning sizing, managing drawdowns, mindset and experience.
As such, we believe most beginner and intermediate level traders would do better trading a quality autotrading program built by a veteran trader with a verified track record than finding, building, executing and managing strategies on their own. This is not a knock on traders, but most industry insiders will tell you that few beginner and intermediate retail traders generate profits from trading.
And to be super clear in regards to your earlier question(s):
YES - we have profitable automated trading programs with more than 3 years of verified live trading history and clients.
However, they are no longer open to new clients. Only our S&P 500 intraday program (launched in June 2020) is available for new clients.
We understand and respect that you may prefer a longer live trading history. One thing you may want to consider if you decide to evaluate automated trading programs is not just the length of the track record in years, but also in trade count. You may find a nice 3 year live track record that consists of only 20-25 trades, while others may have hundreds of trades in the course of a year. Only one of those options would meet your track record requirement, but the other is more statistically significant.
Hi @trader789, I see you are upset but let me remind you that this thread is a vendor review thread for the InvestiQuant product and service.
I understand that expectations about products and services may develop differently, but Vendors are allowed to reply so long as they follow our rules.
