A strategy's published results are only reproducible if the execution underneath matches. That is why QB PRIME and QB VEGA require ECN-type accounts — it is a condition for getting the result the strategy was designed to deliver.
What an ECN account is
An ECN account routes your orders to a network of liquidity providers, offering tighter, more transparent pricing than a standard account where the broker sets a wider spread. On active strategies, that difference compounds across many trades.
Why the spread decides the result
Every trade pays the spread. On a strategy that trades frequently, a wider spread quietly erodes the edge until your result no longer resembles the published one. ECN conditions keep your execution close to the environment in which the verified results were produced.
A requirement, not a preference
Because it directly affects the result you receive, ECN execution on these strategies is mandatory rather than a suggestion. It is one more way of ensuring that what you see is what you get.
