What is a Performance Account?


A Performance Account is a simulated trading account granted to traders who have successfully completed the Quantum X Futures evaluation process and demonstrated consistent rule adherence.


It represents the second stage in the Quantum X trading structure.


Traders operating a Performance Account must continue to trade within the firm’s defined risk parameters and compliance standards.


How Do You Qualify for a Performance Account?


To become eligible for a Performance Account, a trader must:

  • Achieve the required profit target

  • Remain within maximum drawdown limits

  • Follow all trading rules and restrictions

  • Demonstrate consistent and disciplined behaviour


Meeting these objectives indicates the trader has satisfied the firm’s evaluation criteria.

Final approval remains subject to internal review.


Is a Performance Account a Live Brokerage Account?


No.


A Performance Account operates within a structured simulated environment designed to assess ongoing performance under professional risk conditions.


It is not a personal brokerage account and does not involve direct access to external client capital.


What Is Expected From a Performance Trader?


Traders operating a Performance Account are expected to:

✓ Maintain disciplined risk management
✓ Respect all daily and overall loss limits
✓ Follow consistency requirements (if applicable)
✓ Avoid prohibited trading strategies
✓ Operate in accordance with firm policies


Failure to adhere to these standards may result in account breach or disqualification.


Profit Allocation


Eligible traders may receive a profit allocation based on net performance generated within the account, subject to:

  • Compliance with all trading rules

  • Payout eligibility requirements

  • Internal verification procedures


All profit distributions are governed by the firm’s payout policy.


Why Does Quantum X Use a Performance Account Model?


The Performance Account structure ensures:

  • Ongoing discipline after qualification

  • Long-term sustainability

  • Professional risk alignment

  • Fair and transparent standards


The model is designed to reward structured, rule-compliant trading — not short-term risk exposure.
