Data notes. CAUTION LISTING. Trustpilot (trustpilot.com/review/quanttekel.com, checked 2026-10-31) shows 3.5 from 13,369 reviews (73% 5-star, 20% 1-star); the firm's own homepage still advertises 3.9 from 13,012. The most recent reviews (late Oct 2026) show a cluster of payout denials after funded profits (e.g. a QT Power trader reporting $4,600 profit denied for 'high margin usage', described by the firm as 'malicious trading behavior'), Instant traders reporting payouts denied or accounts reset after a migration to a new dashboard/technology, and complaints about accounts being changed or closed; the firm replies to 44% of negative reviews. Treat payout reliability as unverified. PRICES: list prices from the homepage pricing widget (each size clicked, MT5) and window.qtData; widget shows them struck through next to 60%-off prices (e.g. QT Power $5K $35 -> $14). TradeLocker is +$5 per account (e.g. QT ONE $5K $115). QT TWO card says sizes $10K-$200K (widget also shows a $5K price of $42.50, excluded). BNPL 1-Step: $2.50 upfront list fee ($1 with promo) + activation fee $65-$650 payable within 7 days of passing; fee_from=2.5 reflects that upfront fee only, cheapest full-price plan is QT Power $5K at $35. $2,500 sizes exist in site data but are not offered in the widget. PROMO: top banner 'ALL TREATS, NO TRICKS! Get 60% OFF + BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE on same-size accounts | Use code: TREAT'; a stale homepage block still shows code 60PLUS ('Ends October 14'). RULES: QT ONE daily drawdown is 3% recalculated daily from the higher of prior close balance/equity (help article says trailing; homepage comparison says '3% static'); funded accounts carry a 1% max floating-loss rule (soft then hard breach on QT TWO), stop loss within 60 s on QT TWO/Instant funded, QT TWO and BNPL funded have a 5% profit cap per cycle. News: restricted (5 min either side of red-folder events) on QT TWO; no news rule on QT ONE, Instant, Power and BNPL. Weekend: positions may be held, but no new trades or modifications on weekends. Platforms: widget offers MT5 and TradeLocker; help article also mentions cTrader, but it is not selectable for the current plans. US residents cannot use MT5. Restricted countries combine the help-centre list and the footer notice (Cyprus, Sudan, Russia). Contracting entity is Quant Tekel SVG (St Vincent & the Grenadines); payments are processed by QT Treasury Ltd (Cyprus); the about page says HQ London and that sister broker Quant Tekel (Pty) Ltd holds FSCA licence 53227 (the prop programme itself is not a regulated service). Futures section 'Coming Soon', not listed. Discontinued plans (QT 2 Step, 2 Step Elite, old Instant) excluded. fee_from excludes the Buy Now Pay Later entry ticket ($2.50 upfront + activation fee after passing); its upfront price is kept as sizes_fees[].entry_fee with fee=null, matching the pay-later convention used for other firms.
