VRD Quant · $69
Stop guessing how much capital an EA needs
VRD Quant reads an EA's MT5 backtest and works out the lot size, operating capital and reserve to set aside for it, so you size on evidence, not on the vendor's sales page.

The problem
“Recommended deposit: $10,000” is a sales number.
It's whatever the vendor tested on. Fund too little and one bad run ends it. Fund too much and capital sits idle for years. Either way you're paying.

Frequently asked questions
Can I test at 0.01 lots and scale up?
Be careful. Many EAs change how they trade as lot size grows, so a scaled 0.01 test can badly understate real drawdown. Test at your real lot size.
Are the estimates guaranteed?
No. Backtests and simulations are hypothetical. Live drawdown can exceed any estimate.
One EA blowup costs more than the whole suite.
VRD Complete contains single-EA blowups and frees capital you have parked as idle buffers. $149 at launch pricing.
