• How do I know my money is safe?
• - Firstly, we never place as initial deposit on the total of positions taken, at any one time, more than 60% of your available equity and even then only a portion of that 60% would actually be at risk given strict stop/loss procedures. Secondly, as you are able to monitor daily, using your personal code, the balance on your account and can close your account at anytime. It will be your decision to determine an acceptable level of performance on your account. Thirdly, your money is deposited in a segregated account of our New York broker at a major international bank.
• How quickly can my money be returned to me?
• - Immediately, depending upon your instructions.
• Can I make a partial withdrawal?
• - Yes, you can make a withdrawal of profits or a withdrawal of a portion of your account provided the remaining balance would not be less than $10,000, our minimum trading account.
• You mention very high potential returns, how is this possible and doesn't high potential return also mean high risk?
• - There is a risk reward ratio to every investment and it is the management of this ratio which is essential. The key to high returns in Forex trading is leverage, for example $2,000 controls $100,000 and, therefore, a 1% movement is equal to $1,000 or 50% of the funds utilized. Consequently, it is imperative that one does not over trade and that is why we never trade more than 60% of your equity. Also we are not in the business of speculation, we only trade on clear buy or sell signals in a very controlled and disciplined technical environment.
• You say that you never trade more than 60 percent of client's equity, what do you do with the other 40 percent and why should I send you 100 percent if you are only going to use 60 percent?
• - More accurately, we never open trades utilizing more than 60 percent of your equity. Since $2,000 is the necessary margin to cover a $100,000 position we can, therefore, only open 3 positions on a $10,000 account. What then happens to the other $4,000? The market does not go up in a straight line, nor does it go down in a straight line. There are fluctuations on a daily basis and, although within our prescribed parameters, these fluctuations may require additional margin, which is then drawn from the 40 percent reserve. Consequently, if losses are sustained on any trade those losses would be paid out of the 40 percent, thereby, keeping the 60 percent intact. This is why opening trades with more than 60 percent of client equity is over trading. Having a 40 percent available reserve allows us to ride out any storms.
• I do not understand the principal involving leverage, in other words, how is it possible to buy $100,000 with only $2,000?
• - First of all, the $2,000 is merely a deposit on a contract having a value of $100,000 and as with a contract for any tangible property (a house, an automobile, etc...) the deposit is only meant to secure the property on offer at a specified price. Foreign exchange and commodity futures exchanges allow for closing of the contracts at any time in order to take advantage of price fluctuations in the value of the underlying property. Hence, a movement of 1 percent on a $100,000 contract is equal to $1,000 and, therefore, equal to 50% on the deposit of $2,000. The principal and advantage of leverage.
A brief history on the establishment and necessity of exchanges:
Since in international trade thousands of contracts are made daily for the sale, delivery and purchase of goods and as commerce, in general, is based on the law of supply and demand prices for goods fluctuate in accordance with low supply and huge demand, or vice-versa, oversupply and under demand and as it is the fact that no one can know, with any certainty, what those conditions will be in the future it was deemed practical to establish, as far back as the 17th century, a central clearing house which would oversee, guarantee and be responsible for the settling of those contracts for the benefit of both buyer and seller; eliminating dispute and providing a regulated market place where contracts can be opened and closed on a daily basis. Thus the first commodity futures exchange was realized.
• Can you describe, accurately, risk/reward ratio?
• - The greater the risk taken, the greater the potential reward in terms of profit. We attempt to limit risk by not over trading our client's accounts, which is the greatest danger in trading highly volatile markets like Forex.
• I would like to have a guarantee on the amount of capital invested. I am not asking for a guaranteed profit, only one against loss. Why can't you provide one?
• - Legally and practically only an accredited savings institution, bank or government, can provide a guarantee on capital and/or interest earned through a specific plan and such plans, including government bonds or bills, are not classified as investments, but as savings.
Guarantee and investment are contradictory terms, for just as there can be no guarantee of profit in any investment there can be no guarantee against loss, since there can be no potential profit without the element of risk and, therefore, the potential for loss.
Profit and risk are inseperable, however, the key to achieving profits whilst not over-endangering capital is the management of risk and Quantum Forex Online utilizes sophisticated procedures geared to minimizing risk and maximizing profit. You are the ultimate judge however, as you are able to monitor your account online daily and thereby determine what is, for you, an acceptable return - be it profit or loss.
• Is it possible to request a higher risk strategy in order to achieve higher potential profits?
• - Yes, by signing the “Higher Risk Strategy” addendum to the Customer Agreement Form, thereby authorizing our traders to utilize, when conditions warrant, a more aggressive posture. We stress, moreover, that the client is the ultimate decision maker since the client has the possibility to effect close of trading whenever an acceptable profit/loss limit has been reached.
• Why can't I trade the market myself and save the 15% performance fee?
• - You can, provided you have the system, the discipline and the 24 hours of dedication to spare.
• There appears to be some inconsistency between what you claim are the profits and losses using your trading signals and what have been your actual trading results over the past 5 years. Why?
• - In order to portray an accurate prior trading record we must average all results achieved. Some months, as some years, are witness to highly dramatic movements and clients entering our program at one time may benefit differently than those entering at another time. As well, because we never take positions utilizing more than 60% of an individual client’s equity a smaller account may not, necessarily, benefit from the diversity available to a larger account on a dramatic movement effecting different currencies over the same period. Timing, of course, is all important and since we only trade on a clear signal, to either buy or sell, an account opened between signals would not be traded until the occurrence of the next signal. This cannot be judged in advance of the fact, however, we prefer discipline and prudence to uncontrolled speculation.
• Why is trading Forex different than trading the stock market? 
• - To begin with, how many opportunities were there on any stock market for profits to be achieved in excess of 50% over the past months? Few, if any, yet movements providing such returns are consistently on offer via the world’s Forex market. Why? Because in Forex there is always a “Bull Market” in existence, and it is a 24 hour market. One trades the stock market by purchasing shares in a company based upon that company’s price to earnings ratio (always inflated) or because it’s a “hot stock”, which means it is more than likely overly inflated. Recent investment in hot “dot com’s” meant investing in companies with horrendously inflated P&E’s and with absurd market capitalization, which meant that those stocks were destined to fall and when they fell they would fall big and that is exactly what occurred. In contrast, when one trades the Forex market, one is effectively trading shares in the country of the currency being traded. Since we only trade U.S. Dollars, Japanese Yen, British Pounds, Swiss Franc and the Euro, we are trading the shares of the strongest economies in the world and their fluctuations against one another primarily reflect the balance of trade between them and the variance in their respective interest rates. Other fundamental news may temporarily alter the equation, but only momentarily.

A MANAGEMENT STATEMENT CONCERNING FAQ
We have made a firm commitment to the Internet in order to reach a broad market and to do so without the use of salespersons, representatives, account executives, brokers, etc. These persons do not work for nothing and every investment requiring their particular talents eats into the client's equity in the form of commissions and fees, seen or unseen. We appreciate that we have chosen a hard path, because, of course, it is easier for the prospective investor to say "No" to a mute screen than to an enthusiastic and hard selling salesperson. Speaking to a "real" person does not, however, make the investment anymore viable, just more costly.
• We believe we know most of the questions a prospective investor will ask and we believe we can answer them in an honest and logical manner. We, therefore, welcome any questions you might have that have not been covered and look forward to answering those in the same way.
