Quick Start Guide

This section guides you through getting started with the QuantumExecute platform, from account registration to running your first algorithmic strategy.

Step 1: Register and Secure Your Account. Visit the QE trial environment at test.quantumexecute.com and click Register on the top-right corner. Follow the prompts to sign up with your email and complete the email verification. Once your email is verified, you will be asked to bind a Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) method (e.g., Google Authenticator) to your account. Enabling 2FA is mandatory for enhanced account security. After successful registration and 2FA setup, log in to the platform with your credentials.

Step 2: Bind an Exchange API Key. After logging in, navigate to “Personal Center → Exchange Account API” in the platform. Here, you can connect your trading account from a supported cryptocurrency exchange by providing API credentials. For example, on Binance, create a new API Key in your Binance account settings (with trading enabled and withdrawal disabled for safety) and restrict access to the IP addresses provided by QE. Copy the API Key and Secret from the exchange and paste them into the corresponding fields on the QE platform, then save the configuration. The platform will encrypt and store your keys securely. Note: It’s important to whitelist QE’s server IPs for your API Key on the exchange side to ensure that only the QE platform can use your API key to send orders.

Step 3: Create and Run a Strategy. With your account set up and exchange API connected, you’re ready to launch your first algorithmic trade. Go to the Strategies/Execution section of the platform (often the main dashboard or a dedicated “New Strategy” page). Select the desired algorithm strategy (for instance, Smart TWAP for a time-weighted execution). Fill in the required parameters such as trading pair (symbol), order size (total quantity or notional value to execute), duration (execution time window), start time (now or scheduled), and any strategy-specific settings. You may use the default parameter values initially, as they are tuned for general use, then customize as needed. Once the parameters are set, click Submit to start the algorithm. The platform will begin executing according to the chosen strategy logic. You can monitor the execution in real time: the interface will display the parent order’s status along with child order details like filled quantity, average price, remaining amount, etc..

Tip: If you are new to algorithmic trading, consider testing in a simulation mode (if available) or with a small order to familiarize yourself with how the strategy behaves. QuantumExecute’s simulation feature (paper trading) can mimic real execution without actual trades, which is useful for practice.
