Live forward results since January 2024. The legacy Zeus algos have traded on TradingView and NinjaTrader without interruption since then, and they are still running. The 2.0 strategies were built on the Zeus engine and others, applying lessons learned from those live years, and entered production tracking in March 2026.

The chart combines all 8 forward tracked configurations at their listed contract sizes in one continuous curve: the simulated 2.0 backtest through February 2026 flows into actual forward trading results from March 2026 at the magenta rule, and the population is identical across the whole span. The underlying strategy engines began testing in June 2025. Every configuration is in the matrix and strategy sections below. Data through the last completed month; updated 2026-10-06.

2026 month by month
Completed months only; the current month is published after it closes. Every figure is colored by outcome, blue for profit and orange for loss. January and February are backtest months, tagged in the header. Live forward tracking began March 1, 2026. Losing months stay on the board; that is the point.

All figures are P&L in USD at each configuration's listed contract size, blue for profit and orange for loss. January and February come from the simulated backtest record for every configuration (tagged in the header), as does every month of the three default configurations, which are published on their backtest record. March onward is actual forward trading results for the other eight. A dash means no tracked result for that cell. Row totals sum the months shown. The Master Stack row combines the eight forward tracked configurations; the three default rows are not part of it.
THESE RESULTS ARE BASED ON SIMULATED OR HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS THAT HAVE CERTAIN INHERENT LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE THE RESULTS SHOWN IN AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, THESE RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, BECAUSE THESE TRADES HAVE NOT ACTUALLY BEEN EXECUTED, THESE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER-OR OVER-COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED OR HYPOTHETICAL TRADING PROGRAMS IN GENERAL ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THESE BEING SHOWN.
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.
Stacks
A stack is a fixed basket of configurations traded together in one account at listed contract sizes. Three kinds are published here: a ratio stack, which anchors on one sleeve and adds diversifying sleeves at fixed contract ratios; a diversified stack, which spreads the account across three instruments and three engines; and the Core stacks, equal-weight pairs at one full-size contract each, built specifically for ATS Core clients. Each stack's record is the sum of its components' daily P&L at those sizes, with a micro contract counted as one tenth of a mini; no compounding, no reinvestment, and no sizing changes inside the window.
The simulated account size shown with each stack is four times the stack's maximum backtest drawdown, rounded. It exists only to express the return figure as a percentage; it is not a recommended account size or a margin figure, and the return would be different at any other size. Every figure in this section, the return percentages included, is subject to the disclosure at the end of the section: past performance, simulated or actual, is not necessarily indicative of future results, and nothing here is a projection or a promise of what an account will earn.
ATS 2.0 Ratio · Tier H Ratio stack
A ratio stack anchors on one sleeve and adds two diversifying sleeves at fixed contract ratios; the ratios can scale up together but not down. Tier H is the entry tier of the QLiquidity anchored ladder: three micro NQ on the QLiquidity Config B settings, two micro ES on the Omega ES sleeve, and one full RTY on the Omega RTY sleeve. Every component runs on ATS 2.0, so the stack carries both records: a simulated backtest from January 2024 and actual forward results from March 2026.

Return on $30,000 simulated account
+116%
Read the return figure with care. It is stated on a simulated account size of $30,000, chosen after the fact as four times the stack's maximum backtest drawdown; at any other account size the percentage is different, and a larger drawdown than the backtest produced would have required a larger account. The backtest portion of this record is simulated; the forward portion is actual results over a short window. Past performance, simulated or actual, is not necessarily indicative of future results and does not guarantee them. Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.

Sentinel-X Diversified stack
A diversified stack spreads one account across three instruments and three engines with a weighted 1 : 5 : 3 contract ratio. Sentinel-X pairs two NinjaTrader executed strategies, Bear-1 on NQ and QPilot on RTY, with the Omega ES sleeve on ATS 2.0 at three contracts. Two of the three components have no ATS 2.0 replay, so this stack is published on its actual forward record only, tracked daily since March 2026.

Omega Stack
Four strategies in one. The Omega sleeves trade NQ, ES, RTY, and YM as a single diversified stack, momentum driven day trading built on the Zeus architecture, with each sleeve tuned to its own instrument. Omega is published as a stack only.
Omega Stack
Four strategies in one: both records are composites of the four Omega sleeves (NQ · ES · RTY · YM). The YM sleeve's replay currently ends August 31, 2026, so the September 2026 replay month is a three-sleeve figure (NQ · ES · RTY); the sleeve is held out of the backtester while a research study on it runs and will be extended when that study closes. The forward record is four sleeves throughout.

Zeus
The original architecture, and the longest live record in the stack. Zeus has run live on TradingView and NinjaTrader since January 2024 and never stopped; QZeus 2.0, the production rebuild, began 2.0 based forward testing in June 2025. Omega and Poseidon are built on the Zeus architecture.
The backtest portions of these records are QZeus 2.0 replays of each configuration's legacy preset. QZeus 2.0 entered 2.0 based forward testing in June 2025.

Legacy QZeus · NT/TV Intermediate
The original QZeus record on NQ, running on TradingView with NinjaTrader execution since January 2024 and still running today. Actual trading record. Through February 2026 the record is the TradingView trade log (downloadable below): martingale ladder sizing from 1 up to 16 contracts, commissions not included. From March 2026 it continues as tracked daily P&L at a 2 contract ladder cap, the same daily tracking used for every other forward record on this page.

Advanced strategies
Two strategies in the 2.0 lineup are built for power users. Both expose a deep configuration surface, so results depend on how you set them up. Import a profile, or tune your own.
QPilot 2.0
Automated index futures execution with wide control over sizing, session windows, and exit behavior. Highly configurable, made to be shaped to your own risk profile.
QKronos EVO
The newest strategy on the platform. Timing and risk parameters are fully tunable for traders who want complete control of how it behaves.
Execution performance
A signal is only as good as the fill behind it. The live path has two legs, measured in production: how long the strategy container takes to turn a completed bar into a decision, and how long QuantLynk takes to carry that decision to the broker. The medians below are per bar and per order; the timeline shows the two legs end to end.
Median bar processing
46.95 ms
Median QuantLynk send
122.4 ms
Data received to order at broker
under 200 ms
Bar processing is measured from the moment a bar's data arrives in the strategy container until the strategy has made its decision for that bar: indicators, signals, and trade management, every step in between. QuantLynk send is measured from that decision until QuantLynk has handed the order to the broker. Put together, an order is at the broker within 200 ms of the data being received. Figures are medians measured September 2026; broker acknowledgement and fill time depend on the broker and the exchange and are not included.
Overfitting check
An overfit system memorizes its development data. The backtest looks clean, then the edge decays as soon as real trading starts, because the patterns it learned were noise. This record splits into a development window (January 2024 through February 2026) and a live window (March through September 2026), so the question can be tested directly on the daily P&L of the same six configurations. If the stack were overfit, the live window would be measurably worse than the window it was built on. It is not.

Both windows are the same six configurations at their tracked contract sizes, daily P&L zero filled on business days. Sharpe is computed the same way in both columns.
Every contiguous 153 business day window of the development backtest, totaled (412 windows), with the live forward window marked. A record that decayed out of sample would sit in the left tail. The live window lands at the 18th percentile, near the middle of what the development record produced.
Welch's t-test asks whether the live mean daily P&L differs from the development mean. At p = 0.40 there is no detectable difference; the live mean came in at 81% of development. A two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test compares the full shape of the two daily P&L distributions. At p = 0.04, no detectable difference there either. The live window kept 76% of the development Sharpe (5.06 against 6.63). Published studies of backtest overfitting find that strategies tuned to their development data typically give back half or more of their backtest Sharpe once they trade out of sample (Bailey, Borwein, López de Prado and Zhu, 2014; Harvey and Liu, 2015). This stack gave back 24%. Ranked on Sharpe, the live window sits at the 17th percentile of the development windows, below the median and inside the ordinary range.
The match is not perfect, and the mismatches are reported on purpose. Daily volatility ran 6% higher live (Levene test p = 0.84), the share of winning days fell from 74% to 67%, and profit factor fell from 3.34 to 2.66. The daily edge held anyway because live winning days averaged +$4,710 against +$4,711 in development. Fewer, larger wins with the same mean change the texture of the equity curve and leave the edge intact.
Second check, same dates on both records
From March through September 2026 the six 2.0 native configurations also carry two records over identical dates: the live forward run, tracked day by day, and the backtest engine replayed across the exact same window. Correlating the two daily P&L streams measures whether the engine that produced the development record behaves like live trading.

How to read these numbers
One timeline, one curve. Each record chart is a single continuous curve. The record behind it combines a backtest, replayed on the same engine that powers customer backtests inside ATS 2.0, with actual forward trading results tracked from March 1, 2026. Backtests are simulated; the forward records are actual executed trades. Backtests cover January 2024 through February 2026, except QLiquidity, whose replay reaches back to May 2022. Each backtest runs the configuration's own settings, and where a backtest's settings differ from what its forward record ran, the card note says so: the Zeus Intermediate backtest adds the Direction Classifier at Low confidence, a 2.0 feature the TradingView era record did not have. The charts do not split the records visually; the hero chart and the timeline under it mark the switchover and the earlier platform eras, and the chip clusters on the cards give each record's stats separately. Zeus has been forward tested since January 2024, on TradingView and NinjaTrader before QZeus 2.0. Backtest trade logs cover the full window through September 2026, including the months where forward tracking ran in parallel, so the two records can be compared over the same dates.
Blue is profit, orange is loss. Every figure in the month by month table is colored by outcome. The header tags and the table footnote identify which cells come from the simulated backtest record: the January and February months that predate live tracking, and the default configurations, which are published on their backtest record.
The overfitting check is the proof section. Above this section, the daily P&L of the six 2.0 native configurations (Omega Stack, Poseidon Custom, QLiquidity Config A and B, and QORB Config A and B; Zeus is excluded because its forward record ran on another platform) is tested for out-of-sample decay: development window against live window, plus the live run against the engine replayed over the same dates. The statistical tests and their p-values are shown there, not asserted.
Stacks are sums of their parts. A stack's daily P&L is the sum of its components' tracked daily P&L, each scaled to the stack's listed contract size (a micro contract counts as one tenth of a mini). A stack shows a backtest only when every component has an ATS 2.0 replay, so the population never changes across the switchover. The simulated account size beside each stack is four times its maximum backtest drawdown, rounded, and exists only to state the return as a percentage; it is not a recommendation.
Contract sizing. Daily P&L is tracked at the configuration's listed contract size: 1 lot except where the configuration name says otherwise, such as the Zeus 4 lot ladders. No compounding, no reinvestment.
Settings are copy and paste. Every configuration shown ships as a settings profile that imports into ATS 2.0 with a copy and paste code. No manual parameter entry, and no strategy internals are exposed.
Test on demo first. Run any strategy on a demo account for at least 60 days before trading it live, whether it is new to the community or new to you.
