Head to head

Cortex IDXvsQuantum Queen X MT5

Both sets of figures are computed the same way from each product's own record. The measures that can be read against each other — the unit-free ratios — are scored. The ones that depend on how big the account was or how long it ran are shown underneath, unscored, because putting a winner on them would be comparing two different questions.

Quantum Queen X MT5 leads on 3 of the 5 measures that can be scored.

A count of rows, not a recommendation. Which of these measures matters is a question about the account it would run on.

Why these two are not quite like-for-like

  • The two are measured from different sources — Cortex IDX from published statistics, Quantum Queen X MT5 from trade history. The ratios are computed the same way, but only a trade-by-trade history supports the full set of risk checks.
  • One record is 8.1× longer than the other — Quantum Queen X MT5 has had more time to meet a market it dislikes, which cuts both ways when reading its drawdown.
  • The tracked accounts are 5× apart in size. Percentage growth compounds much faster on a small balance, so the growth figures are not the like-for-like they look.
  • They trade different instruments — US30 against XAUUSD — so the two records were made in different markets.
