Question 1

1 - Why do I need to create a "Strategy" before I can rate a trade?

Accepted Answer

At StarQuant, we don't mix everything up! A strategy is like a folder: it contains your trading rules and dedicated capital. This allows you to know precisely which method works and which one is costing you money, rather than having a vague overall view.

Question 2

2 - What is the "Initial Capital" in my strategy?

Accepted Answer

This is the virtual amount you allocate to this specific trading method. It is not necessarily your total bank balance, but the amount StarQuant will use to calculate your profit and loss percentages. You can define it when creating the strategy.

Question 3

3 - What should I write in the "Entry Rules" and "Exit Rules"?

Accepted Answer

Don't overcomplicate things! Simply write down the conditions that lead you to click "Buy" or "Sell" (e.g., "Moving average crossover" or "Bounce off support"). The idea is to be able to read back later whether you followed your plan or acted on emotion.

Question 4

1 - How are trading sessions (London, New York...) defined?

Accepted Answer

StarQuant automatically breaks down your trades according to standard time slots (French time): Asia (00h-08h), London (08h-13h), NY AM (13h-17h), NY Lunch (17h-19h) and NY PM (19h-22h). Trades taken outside of these time slots are classified in the "Other" category.

Question 5

2 - Why are some days or hours not appearing in my charts?

Accepted Answer

The charts on the Data page only display data for which you have at least one closed trade. "Open" trades are excluded from these statistics to avoid skewing your Win Rate.

Question 6

3 - What is the purpose of the performance indicator by day of the week?

Accepted Answer

It allows you to identify your days of "underperformance". If you notice a significantly lower Win Rate on a day of the week, this indicates that you should either avoid trading on that day, or make changes in your trading style to increase your win rate.

Question 7

1 - I can't find the "Add Trade" button, where is it?

Accepted Answer

To add a trade, go to your Trading Journal. Make sure you have selected a strategy beforehand. The "+" button will then appear at the bottom of the strategy to allow you to enter your position.

Question 8

2 - What is this "R" (Risk/Reward) that the form calculates automatically?

Accepted Answer

It's your risk unit. If you risk €10 to earn €30, your R is 3. StarQuant calculates it automatically by comparing your entry price, your Stop Loss, and your Take Profit. It's the most important indicator for a pro trader!

Question 9

3 - My trade is not yet finished, how do I record it?

Accepted Answer

When entering the trade, choose the status "Open". The trade will be saved without asking for an exit price or date. Once your trade is closed on your brokerage platform, return to your journal and click the "Edit" icon to update the final result (Winner or Loser).

Question 10

4 - Can I record a trade I took several days ago?

Accepted Answer

Of course! The "Entry Date" field allows you to select any past date and time. Your dashboard will retroactively update to include this data in your performance charts.

Question 11

1 - How does StarQuant determine my "Trader Profile"?

Accepted Answer

The system compares your declared profile (e.g., Swing Trader) with the actual duration of your trades. If your trades last on average less than 24 hours, StarQuant will identify you as a "Day Trader" in your audit statistics.

Question 12

2 - Where can I manage my subscription and invoices?

Accepted Answer

In the "Subscription" tab of the settings, a secure link allows you to access the Stripe customer portal. You can update your credit card, download your invoices, or cancel the renewal.

Question 13

3 - Is my data safe during updates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. StarQuant uses a secure architecture on Firebase. Even during maintenance phases, your data is encrypted and backed up. No action is required on your part when new features are deployed.

Question 14

1 - How does the AI Portfolio Audit work?

Accepted Answer

The AI analyzes your overall statistics and your last 50 trades to identify behavioral patterns. You must have closed at least 10 trades to trigger an analysis. The AI then assigns a "Verdict" and a consistency score (0-100%) based on your actual results.The adjustment of the number of trades required may be subject to adjustments over time to improve the relevance of the audit.

Question 15

2 - What are the usage limits of the AI?

Accepted Answer

For security and to guarantee performance, usage is limited by default to 5 audits (portfolio and strategies) and 10 fundamental analyses per day. In addition, the history of your portfolio audits only keeps your last 5 analyses.The setting of the number of audits and analyses is subject to change.

Question 16

3 - What does an AI Fundamental Analysis contain?

Accepted Answer

When you search for a symbol (e.g., EURUSD, BTC), the AI scans market sentiment, economic indicators, news flow, institutional flows, correlations, and the technical context. It generates a structured report with 3 scenarios (Bullish, Bearish, Neutral) and strategic intervention zones.

Question 17

4 - Can I export my fundamental analyses?

Accepted Answer

Yes, each Fundamental Analysis report can be exported in a professional PDF format. This allows you to keep an archive of your "market bias" before moving on to technical execution.

Question 18

5 - Is my data shared with other users via AI?

Accepted Answer

No. The AI processes your data in a secure session via API. Your strategies and private notes are not shared with the community, even if an audit is generated.

Question 19

1 - Why is my CAGR (Annual Rate) identical to my Total Return?

Accepted Answer

CAGR is a projection of your performance over a full year. To avoid absurd figures based on too short a period (like earning 5% in one day, which would project millions at once), StarQuant only activates the "compound" calculation afterwards. Before this time, we display your actual return to remain as honest as possible.

Question 20

2 - Why does my Annual Volatility stay at 0.00%?

Accepted Answer

Volatility measures the variation in your gains and losses from day to day. If you just started and all your trades were entered on the same day, there is mathematically no day-to-day variation to measure. This indicator will start to adjust as soon as you have closed trades over at least 2 or 3 different days.
