Development Funding Proposal · 2026

Back the algo.
Own the edge.

Quantum Grid Capital is seeking seed funding to complete the development of its fully automated quantitative trading system — a multi-asset, multi-broker, AI-augmented algo engine built on proprietary order-flow and Fibonacci structure logic. In return, early backers receive meaningfully better terms than any investor who enters after the algo goes live.

01 ─The end product.

A fully production-ready algorithmic trading system — autonomous, scalable, and live across multiple asset classes and brokers. The core strategy logic is already built and battle-tested on MES/ES equity index futures. What remains is the engineering to make it industrial-grade.

Core Engine

DOM Algo v1.0

Live · production-ready

A multi-timeframe pullback strategy combining Order Flow (DOM) analysis with Fibonacci structure detection across three timeframes (60R / 12R / 4R). Three entry paths, four volatility regimes, a strict 61.8% close gate, and a disciplined three-stage exit ladder. Targeting 25–50% baseline annual performance.

3 Entry Paths: Pattern, FibSpike, Sweep State Machine
4 Vol Regimes: High, Normal, Small, Unknown
Confirmed Levels
Order Flow · Delta Footprint
Liquidity Levels
Price Action
Volume Profile: POC, VAH/VAL
ATR Stop: min 7 – max 12 ticks
Exit Ladder: TP1 50% · TP2 25% · Trail 25%
Expansion Layer

Cross-Asset Scale

In development

Extending the core algo beyond MES/ES futures to cover crypto derivatives (BTC, ETH), index options, and additional equity indices across European, US, and Asian market sessions. The team spans two continents by design — Nicolas Quinquis based full-time in Tokyo covers Asian session hours; Sorin Alexandrescu operates from Europe, covering EU and US overlap. Each new instrument and market session requires calibration of vol regime parameters, Fib zone tolerances, and liquidity windows.

Crypto Derivatives: BTC, ETH futures & options
Index Options: market making & directional
Multi-Index: European, US and Asian equity index futures
Cross-Market Sessions: Asia (Tokyo) · Europe · US — 24h
Cross-Venue: price differential capture across exchanges
Scalability: concurrent instrument & session management
Infrastructure

AI + Multi-Broker

In development

A broker-agnostic execution layer and an AI-driven signal filtering pipeline. The execution layer normalises API differences across brokers for redundancy and best execution. The AI pipeline adds a regime classification layer on top of the rule-based engine — improving selectivity without compromising the core logic.

Multi-Broker API: redundancy & best execution routing
AI Pipeline: regime classification & signal scoring
Cloud Infra: 24/7 uptime, auto-failover
Monitoring: real-time dashboards & alerting
Bottom line: The intellectual core exists. What the funding buys is the engineering depth, the toolchain, and the full-time focus needed to transform a working prototype into an institution-grade system capable of deploying significant capital across multiple markets simultaneously.

02 ─Where the money goes.

€15,000 per month for 12 months. Every euro is allocated to one purpose: completing the algo. The budget covers development resources, infrastructure, and the founder's living costs — because this requires 100% focus, not a side-project.

Monthly Allocation — €15,000

Development collaborators & freelancers €7,00047%
Founder living expenses (100% dedicated) €3,75025%
Software licenses & data feeds €8005%
AI tools & API costs €1,50010%

The largest line item is people. Great algos are built by great engineers working at speed — the collaborator budget ensures we can bring in the right expertise at each phase rather than being bottlenecked by a single developer.

03 ─Timeline & delivery.

Target completion: 6 months. Budgeted runway: 12 months. The gap is not pessimism — it's honesty. Scalability, cross-asset calibration, multi-broker API integration, and AI pipeline development each carry genuine unknowns. Twelve months of runway means we solve them properly, not just fast.

Production

Go live on all instruments. Live performance monitoring. Buffer for unexpected problems, edge cases, and iteration.

Months 5–12 (buffer)
We are navigating territory that has not been walked before with this specific combination of order-flow logic, multi-timeframe structure, and AI signal overlay. The 12-month budget is not a plan to be slow — it is a commitment to be thorough.

04 ─Your upside.

Standard fund investors pay market-rate fees. Development-stage backers who make the algo possible receive materially better terms — locked in for the life of their investment. With a target return of 25–50% annually, the fee difference compounds significantly over time.

The maths: On a €500,000 investment returning 30% in year one (€150,000 gross), standard terms cost €40,000 in fees. Your preferred terms cost €21,000 — a saving of €19,000 in year one alone, compounding every year you remain invested.
Additionally, development backers receive priority access as the fund opens to additional instruments and strategies — and early sight of live performance data before any public reporting. This is a founding investor relationship, not just a fund subscription.
