How it is built

Four rules we do not bend.

Warns, never trades

News Shield has no way to place, close or change an order. It shows a timer and sends alerts. Every trade stays your decision.

The timer runs on your device

Your browser, MT5 or cTrader works out the countdown from the public calendar and your firm’s rule. Your trading never leaves your machine.

One key, 5 devices

A key works on up to 5 devices at the same time, so a shared key cannot spread to hundreds of people.

Pay once, nothing renews

Passes are one-time payments for 3, 6 or 12 months. There is no subscription to cancel and no surprise charge.

Security FAQ

Straight answers on safety.

What News Shield can see, and what it cannot.

Pricing

Never. You sign in to QuarkFX with your email or Google, and the platforms only ask for your license key. No broker login, investor password or prop firm account details, ever.

Trade from anywhere. News Shield stays in sync.

Use News Shield in any browser on your laptop or phone, or inside MT5, cTrader and TradingView. Your firm, pair and timer stay in sync on every device with one license key.
