A good question.A clear answer.

SquaredQ provides subscription software for standardized algorithmic strategies. You choose the strategies, connect a supported brokerage account, set your allocations and risk controls, then confirm activation. Your broker holds your assets and executes the resulting orders.

Yes. Create an account to explore the strategy catalogue, factsheets and Portfolio Studio. Connecting a broker and activating execution are separate steps. Reviewing research or running a simulation does not place a trade.

You do not need to write code for the guided setup. The app takes you through the broker connection, strategy allocation, risk settings and activation review. Some connections, especially Interactive Brokers, require additional broker-side configuration.

You choose your products and allocations. The current product does not include a personalized suitability questionnaire or an automatic portfolio selector. Each standardized strategy determines its underlying securities and timing according to its own rules.

The execution software runs in your dedicated MyAlgo cloud environment. You do not need to keep a personal computer running for that software to operate. Broker sessions, market availability, network connectivity and the service environment still need to function.

Availability depends on your country, broker, account type, permissions and the service terms offered to you. A broker appearing on this website does not confirm that every account or jurisdiction is eligible. Check availability in the app before subscribing or activating.

The research marketplace contains sixteen summaries: seven primary systematic strategies, two prebuilt portfolios, three sector-rotation strategies and four thematic strategies. Research inclusion does not confirm live availability; check the current app catalogue before purchase.

Portfolio Studio is a planning tool for comparing strategies and exploring hypothetical combinations. You can select a period, initial amount and weights, compare supported benchmarks and save a plan in the app. A simulation is separate from the configuration used for live trading.

No. A backtest models what a set of rules would have done on historical data. Live results reflect actual accounts, orders, fills and costs. Portfolio Studio produces hypothetical results. Neither backtests nor live historical results guarantee a future return.

Open the Data Room or the factsheet link for a strategy in the app. Factsheets explain the economic thesis, construction, execution approach and research metrics. Check the document date, methodology and disclosures before comparing figures.

Subscribers to the same strategy receive the same current standardized targets. Account outcomes can still differ because of allocations, account size, existing holdings, broker permissions, rounding, market hours, risk settings, connectivity and execution prices.

You can select available products, but a prebuilt portfolio may already include individual strategies you also select. Review underlying holdings and overlap: adding more product names does not necessarily add independent exposures.

The current product documentation describes Alpaca, Interactive Brokers, Public and Webull connections. Connection methods and paper or live environments differ. Account eligibility and commercial availability must be checked in the app.

Your cash and securities remain in your separately held brokerage account. SquaredQ provides signals, execution software, monitoring and technical support. Subscription payments to SquaredQ are separate from capital held at your broker.

The documented execution software does not implement withdrawal or transfer functionality. Deposits, withdrawals, transfers and account funding are handled through your broker. Never send investment capital to someone claiming it is required to activate a strategy.

No. Alpaca, Webull and Public connect using API credentials. Interactive Brokers connects through Trader Workstation (TWS) or IB Gateway in your dedicated execution environment. SquaredQ does not use OAuth for these connections. Follow your broker’s in-app guide and enter API credentials only in the designated MyAlgo setup interface.

The documented Alpaca connection offers paper and live modes, and Webull has sandbox and live environments. Public is documented as live only. Other test-account availability and required settings depend on your broker and the current app configuration.

Equities and ETFs are covered by the documented product; options are not. Margin, short selling and retirement-account features depend on broker and account permissions. Some strategies include BTC exposure, subject to availability and your crypto policy. No feature is available in every account.

Request withdrawal of available funds directly through your broker. Settlement, deposit or security holds, margin requirements and broker processing times can limit the amount and timing. You do not need to cancel your software subscription to request a broker withdrawal. Withdrawing funds can reduce buying power and affect active strategies. Subscription payments and investment capital are separate.

MyAlgo is your dedicated cloud environment for the execution software. It connects to your subscribed strategy targets and your configured broker, applies your allocation and risk settings, and attempts to align the account with those targets.

Buying a subscription alone does not activate trading. You must connect and validate a broker, select purchased strategies, configure allocations and Risk Management, review the complete setup and affirmatively confirm activation.

No. After you activate a configuration, the software can operate unattended and send orders according to the strategy targets and your settings. You should understand this automated execution model before activating.

It disarms execution, cancels working orders and clears the associated configuration. Existing positions remain at your broker. Disconnecting is different from closing positions and should not be treated as liquidation.

It disarms execution, cancels open orders and attempts to liquidate the connected account. The action can include positions you opened manually. Order rejection, market closure or limited liquidity can prevent immediate liquidation; verify the result at your broker.

Possible causes include a disconnected broker session, market-session restrictions, insufficient buying power, instrument permissions, quantity rules, a triggered risk stop, delayed data, stale signals or an order rejection. Review the app status and broker messages before contacting support.

Yes. Trading involves risk, including loss of principal. Algorithmic execution, diversified strategies, historical results and risk controls do not remove market risk or guarantee an outcome. Margin and leverage can increase losses and financing costs.

The documented setup supports a percentage-drawdown threshold or an absolute account net asset value threshold. You select whether a trigger should disconnect execution or disconnect and attempt to close all account positions. Review the exact calculation and account scope in the activation screen.

No. Prices can move beyond a threshold before an order fills. Gaps, slippage, closed markets, connectivity problems and broker restrictions can delay or prevent action. A risk trigger is an execution instruction, not capital protection.

The documented risk stop remains latched off and does not automatically re-arm. Review the account state, investigate the cause and deliberately complete any required reactivation steps.

You retain control of the brokerage account and can act manually. Manual trades change holdings and buying power, which can change later automated orders. An account-wide close action may also close those manual positions.

No. A hypothetical setting in Portfolio Studio is not an instruction to the live execution environment. Live permissions, allocations and available risk controls must be reviewed separately in MyAlgo.

Open the SquaredQ app to review your selected strategies, connected broker account and account settings.

Single strategy covers one selected strategy or prebuilt portfolio on one broker account. Each additional strategy requires its own subscription. Connecting additional accounts requires separate coverage. Check the quantities and account coverage in your current order summary before buying.

No. Cancelling renewal stops future subscription renewal charges; it does not automatically close positions or stop automation immediately. Check the paid-through date in Whop. To stop trading, use the execution controls separately and review positions and working orders with your broker.

Payments are card-only and processed through Whop. Sign in to the app and open Billing to review the subscriptions and licence controls available to your account. For an invoice or charge question, contact support from your registered account and include the invoice reference, never broker credentials.

Use the in-app help centre and support chat, or email info@squaredq.com. Include your broker name, the affected step and a description of the error. Remove credentials and sensitive account details from screenshots.

Do not follow payment links or share credentials from an unexpected message. Open the app independently, verify the request with support and report the message to info@squaredq.com. For a compromised brokerage account, contact your broker directly.

Yes. Cancel renewal before your next billing date to avoid the next charge. In Whop, open Profile, then Orders, select the subscription and choose Cancel membership. Check the confirmation and paid-through date. Annual plans are paid upfront; cancelling renewal does not automatically refund the unused period. Refund requests follow the applicable purchase terms and your legal rights.
