Desktop 0.1.2 — free gold and crypto majors on the practice desk

Desktop 0.1.2 BTCUSDT H1 training desk with simulated buy

A short release note for the Windows build published 2026-10-06 — what changed, where to get the file, and what this page is not.

Direct answer

BarionQuant Desktop 0.1.2 is the current public Windows build. Free can practice EURUSD, XAUUSD, BTCUSDT, and ETHUSDT on H1 and D1. Clients below 0.1.2 are asked to update. Practice stays on your machine and stays simulated. We are not a broker.

How to judge

Is the build the public 0.1.2 file?

Match the Download page version and SHA-256 before you run anything. Forum zips and renamed copies are out of scope for this note.

Download page for BarionQuant Desktop 0.1.2 with SHA-256 and VirusTotal badge
barionquant.com/en/download, 2026-10-07. Windows card shows 0.1.2, the SHA-256, and VirusTotal 0/71. macOS and Linux are not published.

Did a real scanner pass say 0/71 for that hash?

The same SHA on VirusTotal showed community score 0 / 71 and “No security vendors flagged this file as malicious” on 2026-10-07.

Does Free actually list gold and crypto majors?

Pricing Free, yearly view, on 2026-10-07 listed EURUSD, XAUUSD, BTC, ETH with H1 and D1. Paid seats still add timeframes, history depth, and handbook depth. Prices stay Free $0, Standard $15/mo or $150/yr, Pro $29/mo or $290/yr.

What we do

0.1.2 widens the Free practice seat: gold and major crypto join EURUSD on the local desk. Local CSV import stays available. Binance default month selection is corrected so the sample month matches what you expect. Forex session P&L stays on a USD reporting path; crosses that cannot be priced honestly are refused instead of silently wrong. Lifecycle notices open as a dismissible dialog. Windows clients below 0.1.2 get a hard update prompt; training interrupt stays off.

This page is the product changelog. Site maintenance notices live under Announcements. Ops release rows carry installer metadata for the updater — they are not this essay.

Who should skip

Skip if you wanted a Mac or Linux installer — those are not published. Skip if you wanted a click-by-click import lesson — that belongs in Learn and the Download getting-started list, not here. Skip if you wanted a maintenance window notice — open Announcements instead.

FAQ

Do I have to update from 0.1.1?

Yes for continued use on Windows. The update policy asks installs below 0.1.2 to move forward. Get the file from Download, not from a forwarded archive.

Did prices change?

No. Free remains $0. Standard and Pro stay at the public seats on Pricing.

Is this the same as Announcements?

No. Announcements are site notices. This article is the Desktop 0.1.2 release note.

Next step

Download the Windows build if you want 0.1.2. Open Pricing if you want the Free four-symbol seat or a paid handbook depth. Keep practice simulated; do not treat a training desk as a broker account.
