Terms of Service
Quantblocks is currently in active development. The backtesting engine is continuously being improved, and edge cases that have been overlooked can produce incorrect results. We work on this every day. Nothing on this platform is trading advice.
01 Service Description
Quantblocks is a web-based software platform for the visual creation, analysis and backtesting of trading strategies based on historical market data.
Use of the platform is exclusively for informational, educational and research purposes. The provided content, features and results do not constitute financial, investment, legal or tax advice.
Quantblocks does not generate trading signals, recommendations or solicitations to trade. All results are based exclusively on user-defined inputs.
02 Not a Financial Services Provider
Quantblocks is not a financial services institution within the meaning of the German Banking Act (Kreditwesengesetz / KWG). In particular, Quantblocks does not provide:
- investment advice (Anlageberatung, § 1 para. 1a no. 1a KWG)
- investment brokerage (Anlagevermittlung, § 1 para. 1a no. 1 KWG)
- contract brokerage (Abschlussvermittlung)
- portfolio management (Finanzportfolioverwaltung)
- custody or safeguarding of client funds
Quantblocks does not execute orders, does not manage funds and does not recommend specific trades.
The platform provides a software tool only. All trading decisions are made exclusively by the user.
03 User Responsibility & Strategies
All strategies, parameters and configurations are created exclusively by the user. Quantblocks does not create, optimize or manage strategies on behalf of users.
Use of the platform is at the user's own risk. The user is solely responsible for all decisions and actions related to the trading of financial instruments.
No advisory, fiduciary or other relationship of trust is established between Quantblocks and the user.
04 Backtesting & Simulation
Backtests displayed on the platform are purely simulations based on historical data. No real trades are executed.
Backtests are hypothetical in nature and may differ substantially from real market results.
In particular, real market conditions are not fully represented, including:
- slippage
- liquidity
- order execution
- fees and funding
- market volatility
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
05 Development Status (Beta)
Quantblocks is under active development.
Deviations and errors may occur, in particular due to:
- execution logic (e.g. SL/TP, partial fills)
- timestamps and time zones
- data gaps or incomplete history
- look-ahead bias in indicators
- modeling assumptions in backtesting
Results may therefore differ from real trading conditions.
06 No Guarantee and Risk
Quantblocks provides no guarantee for:
- profits
- performance
- accuracy of results
Trading financial instruments involves high risk and can lead to the total loss of the capital employed.
07 Market Data
Market data used is sourced from external providers and our own databases.
Quantblocks makes no warranty as to:
- accuracy
- completeness
- timeliness
Missing or erroneous data may affect backtest results.
* The historical ranges listed for each plan (e.g. "3 months for 15m" on the Basic plan) are upper bounds. The actual available history may be shorter depending on market, symbol and timeframe, as not every instrument has full historical data available.
08 Third Parties & APIs
Use of interfaces (e.g. to exchanges or external services) is at the user's own risk.
Quantblocks is not liable for:
- API outages
- faulty order execution
- losses caused by third parties

12 Right of Withdrawal
Consumers within the meaning of § 13 BGB have the right to withdraw from the contract within 14 days without giving reasons.
The period begins upon conclusion of the contract.
An unambiguous statement (e.g. by email) is sufficient to exercise the right.
Expiration of the right of withdrawal: the right of withdrawal expires if:
- the user expressly agrees that performance begins immediately
- and acknowledges that they thereby lose their right of withdrawal (§ 356 para. 5 BGB)
Use of paid features constitutes such consent.
