Quanntick
Quanntick is an algorithmic futures trading platform operated by AI Systemics LLC. It trades S&P 500 futures (MES and ES contracts) automatically inside the subscriber's own brokerage account. Subscribers keep custody of their funds at their own broker at all times — Quanntick never holds customer money.

Quanntick is a signal provider and automated trading service. It is not a registered investment adviser, does not provide personalized financial advice, and does not manage client accounts.
What it trades
S&P 500 futures only — E-mini (ES) and Micro E-mini (MES) contracts on CME. Quanntick does not trade Nasdaq futures, equities, options, forex, or crypto.
Supported brokers
TradeStation and TastyTrade. Automated execution requires an account at one of these. Signal-only plans and paper trading require no broker connection.
Custody and security
Funds never leave the subscriber's own brokerage account. Quanntick connects by API with read and trade permissions only — it cannot deposit or withdraw funds, ever. Subscribers can disable automated trading from their dashboard at any time.
The two algorithms
Both can run simultaneously on the same account.
TrendFollower (TF)
- Swing-style trend strategy on S&P 500 futures
- 4-minute bars, trades around the clock during futures hours (24/5)
- Holds positions for hours to days, including overnight
- 0.75% trailing stop
- Live since November 2025
- TF subscribers set their own targets, stops, and allocation. Quanntick provides the entry signal and manages the mechanics of the trade according to the subscriber's own settings.
DayTrader (DT)
- Intraday strategy on S&P 500 futures
- 1-minute bars, US cash session only (9:30 AM – 3:50 PM ET)

- Live since March 2026
- DT exits are centrally managed.
TrendFollower backtest — default preset
HYPOTHETICAL / SIMULATED RESULTS. The disclaimer below must accompany any figure quoted from this section.
Figures reflect the default TrendFollower preset over November 2015 – November 2025 (10 years of data, 9.4 years of trading). The simulation traded 10 MES contracts with a 4-stage scale-out ladder; all figures below are normalized to a single MES contract.
| Metric | Value (per 1 MES) |
|---|---|
| Positions | 436 (reported by TradeStation as 1,061 scale-out legs) |
| Win rate | 93.4% per position (97.4% per scale-out leg) |
| Profit factor | 2.48 |
| Net profit | $22,380 |
| Average win | $92 |
| Average loss | $521 |
| Largest losing trade | −$775 |
| Maximum drawdown | −$1,744 (intraday peak-to-valley) · −$1,169 (close-to-close) |
| Sharpe ratio | 0.49 |
| Direction | Long only |
| Costs | Slippage modeled at $1.00/contract. Commissions NOT deducted. |
Material limitations — do not omit these when quoting the figures above:
- Subscribers set their own targets, stops, and allocation. Any deviation from the default preset produces different results, which may be materially worse.
- At allocations below 10 contracts the scale-out ladder cannot execute as tested, so results differ structurally, not merely proportionally.
- The strategy takes long positions only, and the test period contains no secular bear market.
- Commissions are not deducted.
- Maximum drawdown was −$1,744 per contract.
REQUIRED DISCLAIMER — must remain attached to any performance figure from this document. Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. CFTC RULE 4.41: Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Since trades have not been executed, results may under- or over-compensate for market factors such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
