Frequently Asked Questions
Honest answers to the questions that decide whether Quantustik is worth your trust and your money.
- Can I lose money using Quantustik?
- Yes. Any decision you make in the market can lose money, and Quantustik cannot change that. We publish probabilistic forecasts and calibrated confidence bands, not certainties — the bands are frequently wider than they look, and some names (especially through a structural break) are covered poorly. Every signal carries a max-drawdown estimate, an invalidation level, and a WAIT/AVOID verdict when reward doesn't clear the risk. Never size a position on a single number.
- Is this financial or investment advice?
- No. Quantustik is an educational research tool. We sell access, history, quotas and convenience — never personalized advice and never a promise of profit. For decisions about your own money, consider a licensed financial adviser.
- What does "90% confidence" actually mean?
- A 90% confidence band (CI90) is the range we'd expect to contain the real future price about 9 times out of 10 — if the model is well calibrated. It is a statement about a range, not a direction, and not a 90% chance of profit. See the calibration page for the current honest coverage figures — including the misses.
- Do you have a public track record I can check?
- We won't make public performance claims we can't stand behind. The calibration page shows how well the confidence bands hold up on the committed backtest, including where the model covers poorly. A forward, timestamped track record is how we prove out claims over time, not a single curated snapshot.
- How can a quantum model predict stock prices?
- It doesn't predict a single price — it simulates a distribution of them, using the Schrödinger equation to evolve a probability field and Feynman path integrals to weight thousands of possible paths. The output is a spread of outcomes and a calibrated band, not a crystal ball. The physics is a modelling analogy for uncertainty; what matters is whether the resulting bands are calibrated.
- How is this different from TradingView or a stock screener?
- TradingView gives you charts and textbook indicators everyone else already runs, so any edge is priced in. Quantustik ships a forecast with a calibrated uncertainty band plus non-consensus signals: quantum-path divergence, cross-ticker entanglement, and amplitudes conditioned on market conditions. We're not a charting terminal — we're opinionated about entries, exits, and when to simply say WAIT.
- Which stocks and horizons does it cover?
- The S&P 500 universe, with forecasts at 3-month, 6-month and 1-year horizons. Coverage quality varies by name and horizon — the 1-year band is honestly weaker for structural-break stories. The calibration page breaks this down by horizon.
- What's the difference between free and paid?
- The free tier lets you explore the dashboard, glossary, Academy and calibration record — enough to judge whether the model is worth trusting. Paid plans unlock the full S&P 500 scan, deeper forecast history, higher refresh quotas and full entry/exit plans. You're paying for access, history and convenience — never for a promise of profit.
- Can I try it free before paying?
- Yes. You can browse the dashboard and read a sample of signals without a card. Start on the calibration page and decide with clear eyes before signing up.
- Can I cancel anytime?
- Yes — plans are month-to-month and you can cancel from your account whenever you like; access continues to the end of the billing period. No lock-in, no cancellation maze.
