Terms & Conditions
Version 1.0. Last updated: 2026
Welcome
At PlutoQuant, our goal is to provide the software tools you need to design robust quantitative trading strategies. We believe automated execution can remove emotional bias, improve consistency, and help traders make more rational decisions. That belief is what drives us.
PlutoQuant is a provider of quantitative trading software tools. We offer features such as strategy configuration, backtesting, trade execution, and risk management to support cryptocurrency trading. The software may automatically send trading instructions to exchanges based on the strategies you configure, but all trades are ultimately executed by the exchanges themselves. You remain solely responsible for strategy settings, trading decisions, and risk controls. We provide software tools only. We do not hold your funds, control your exchange accounts, or manage or custody your assets in any way. To use exchange connectivity, you must configure your own API keys. Your funds remain in your exchange accounts and under your control at all times.
Important Risk Warning:Cryptocurrency and digital asset trading may offer significant upside, but it also involves substantial risk, including the possible loss of all invested funds. You should fully understand these risks and be willing to bear them before engaging in cryptocurrency trading. Never trade with funds you cannot afford to lose. We do not guarantee that any account will achieve profits. Past performance of any trading system or method does not necessarily indicate future results.
By using PlutoQuant and its related services, including the website, software, and products, you agree to the following Terms of Use.
