# Frequently Asked Questions about Quantum Finance

> Answers to the most common questions about account safety, fund custody, trading modes, strategies, and how the Quantum Finance engine works.

If you have a question about how Quantum Finance works, how your funds are protected, or what to do when something goes wrong, you will likely find the answer here. These questions cover the most common topics raised by new and returning users.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Is Quantum Finance safe?">
    Quantum Finance is non-custodial. Your funds are held in the TradingVault smart contract on BNB Smart Chain — not on any company server or exchange. The contract enforces all balance rules on-chain, which means no one, including the Quantum Finance team, can move your funds without your authorization.

    Your private key never leaves your device. Authentication is handled by Web3Auth, which generates and secures your wallet keys using multi-party computation (MPC). You authenticate with your existing Google account; Web3Auth handles the key management transparently.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need crypto experience to use Quantum Finance?">
    No. You sign in with your Google account via Web3Auth — there is no seed phrase to write down, no manual wallet setup, and no prior blockchain knowledge required.

    Before you commit any real funds, you can try the engine in Demo mode. Demo mode runs the full trading interface with simulated balances, so you can see how strategies behave without any financial risk. When you are ready, switch to Real mode and make your first deposit.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What is the minimum deposit for Real mode?">
    The TradingVault smart contract enforces a minimum deposit of 0.01 BNB. However, a deposit of approximately 0.1 BNB is recommended to give the engine enough capital to execute trades meaningfully and absorb normal market fluctuations without exhausting the vault balance.

    Depositing less than 0.1 BNB may result in the engine being unable to meet the minimum trade size on PancakeSwap.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens to my funds when the engine is trading?">
    Your funds stay inside the TradingVault smart contract for the entire time the engine is running. The engine holds authorization to call `executeBuyTrade` and `executeSellTrade` on the contract, but it cannot transfer your BNB to any external address. Only you can call `withdraw` or `withdrawProfits` to move funds out of the vault.

    No human operator has access to your vault balance.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I lose money?">
    Yes. Automated trading involves real financial risk. The Quantum engine is designed for high-accuracy execution, but market conditions — including sudden volatility, low liquidity, or extended drawdowns — can result in losses. No trading system, automated or manual, can guarantee profits.

    Only deposit funds you can afford to lose, and review your active strategy before starting the engine.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What leverage does the engine use?">
    Real mode uses 100x leverage. This significantly amplifies both potential gains and potential losses relative to your vault balance. A 1% move in the underlying asset results in a 100% gain or loss on the trade size.

    Demo mode also reflects 100x leverage so that your practice results are representative of Real mode behavior.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I run Demo and Real mode at the same time?">
    No. Quantum Finance operates in one mode at a time. You switch between Demo and Real mode using the mode toggle in the Trading tab. Switching modes stops any active engine session in the current mode before activating the other.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I switch trading strategies?">
    You cannot change your strategy while the engine is running. To switch:

    1. Press **STOP ENGINE** and wait for the engine to confirm it has stopped.
    2. Select a new strategy from the strategy selector (Aggressive, Momentum, Scalping, or Conservative).
    3. Press **START ENGINE** to resume trading with the new strategy.

    Each strategy has a different risk profile and trade frequency. Review the strategy descriptions before switching.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why won't the engine start?">
    The three most common reasons the engine fails to start are:

    * **High network latency** — The engine monitors your connection quality in real time. If latency is too high or the connection is unstable, it will refuse to start to protect you from missed signals and failed transactions. Wait for your connection to stabilize and try again.
    * **Insufficient vault balance** — Your vault balance must be above the minimum required for the engine to open a position. Deposit additional BNB and retry.
    * **No network connection** — Confirm your device has a working internet connection and that your wallet is connected to BNB Smart Chain Testnet (chain ID `0x61`).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I withdraw my profits?">
    To withdraw funds from your vault:

    1. Open the **Trading** tab.
    2. Enter the amount you want to withdraw in the **Withdraw** field.
    3. Confirm the transaction in your wallet.

    The TradingVault contract transfers the requested BNB (or token profits, if applicable) directly to your connected wallet address. Withdrawals are processed on-chain and are final once confirmed.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What is the profit-sharing model?">
    When the engine closes a trade, the output from the swap is split between you and the Quantum Finance protocol treasury:

    * **50%** is credited to your profit balance inside the TradingVault
    * **50%** is sent to the protocol treasury

    This split is enforced directly in the smart contract's `executeBuyTrade` and `executeSellTrade` functions and applies equally to every trade. You can verify it at any time by reading the `TREASURY_FEE_PERCENT` constant on the deployed contract.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Which blockchain does Quantum Finance use?">
    Quantum Finance is built on BNB Smart Chain (also called Binance Smart Chain). The current deployment is on the BNB Smart Chain Testnet (chain ID `0x61`, decimal 97). All smart contracts, trades, and on-chain settlements happen on this network.

    You can verify all activity on the testnet block explorer at [testnet.bscscan.com](https://testnet.bscscan.com).

<Warning>
  Quantum Finance does not guarantee profits. Trading involves risk. Only trade with funds you can afford to lose.
