Quant Tekel at a glance
An established prop trading firm, reviewed by the Tradelytic team and rated by traders.
Quant Tekel (operating via quanttekel.com and its brokerage engine QT Broking / Quant Tekel PTY) is a multi-platform proprietary trading firm and brokerage service provider. Offering funding accounts up to $200,000, Quant Tekel gives traders simulated capital access across Forex, Index markets, Commodities, Energy, and Cryptocurrencies. Execution is supported across a wide suite of trading software, including MetaTrader 5 (MT5), cTrader, TradeLocker, and direct FIX API connectivity.
Evaluation challenges at Quant Tekel are structured under the QT Flagship Plan, featuring 2-Step and 3-Step evaluation models. The 2-Step model sets competitive profit targets at 7% for Stage 1 and 5% for Stage 2, while the 3-Step model uses a flat 6% target across all three stages. Accounts enforce a strict 4% daily loss limit and a 10% total maximum drawdown limit.
Risk controls at Quant Tekel are tightly integrated into the account rules. The firm mandates a 1.5% maximum risk limit per trade (backed by an automated Equity Protector) and requires traders to complete at least 4 active trading days per phase (generating a minimum 0.25% profit per day). Standard funded accounts provide an 80/20 profit split distributed bi-weekly.
Our verdict
The Tradelytic editorial assessment — independent of any commercial relationship.
Quant Tekel offers a technologically feature-rich trading ecosystem, highlighted by multi-platform flexibility (MT5, cTrader, TradeLocker, FIX API) and lower-than-average Phase 1 profit targets (7% on 2-Step accounts). Automated EAs, algorithmic strategies, and scalping are permitted across its brokerage infrastructure.
However, traders should approach Quant Tekel with careful due diligence. The firm enforces strict risk constraints – including a hard 1.5% maximum risk cap per trade, an “anti-gambling” consistency policy, and a mandatory 4-day minimum requirement where traders must earn at least 0.25% daily. Furthermore, third-party prop firm directories (such as Prop Firm Match) have delisted “QT Funded” due to compliance and communication concerns. Leverage is also conservative, capped at 1:30 on Forex and 1:15 on Indices and Metals.

Who it's for
Here's how to tell if this prop firm is right for you.
- Prefer trading on MT5, cTrader, TradeLocker, or FIX API setups
- Use automated EAs or algorithmic strategies that stay strictly within 1.5% risk limits
- Value lower Phase 1 profit targets (7%) over rapid high-leverage trading
- Maintain consistent daily lot sizing and strict risk management
- Require high leverage (e.g., 50:1 or 100:1) on FX, indices, or crypto assets
- Position size dynamically and risk more than 1.5% of equity on high-conviction trades
- Prefer top-rated, fully verified prop firms with long-standing directory accreditation

Fees & platforms
What it costs to trade, and what you'll trade on.
Quant Tekel charges a one-time challenge fee with no ongoing subscription. Account sizes run from $10,000 to $200,000. The two-step evaluation runs across a Challenge and Verification phase, each with a profit target and a 30-day time limit – one of the shortest evaluation windows currently available in the prop firm market. The maximum drawdown is capped at 10% of the starting balance. The challenge fee is non-refundable and there is no free retry option. The 30-day time limit applies to each phase independently, adding significant pressure for traders who trade selectively or at a measured pace. Traders should factor this carefully when assessing whether the evaluation structure suits their trading style.
