QuanuX
The open standard for quantitative trading systems.
QuanuX enables rapid strategy iteration in Python, high-performance execution via C/C++ components, and native connectivity to multiple brokerages.
Run QuanuX locally or on a remote server, enjoy Anaconda-Navigator integration alongside your favorite Data Science, AI and Machine Learning tools, use the full GUI's, code your own, or control headless with our CLI tool quanuxctl.
Open source. Self-hosted. Your data.
What QuanuX Is
QuanuX exists to remove artificial complexity from quantitative trading systems while preserving real complexity where it actually matters.
It provides a clear architectural spine — schemas, tools, strategies, and bridges — and leaves control in the hands of the user.
QuanuX is a platform for building your own systems, your own way.
Core Principles
Modular by Design
Trading systems in QuanuX are composed of independent, reusable components rather than monolithic scripts. Signals, sizing, risk, execution, and configuration live where they belong — and can be reused without rewriting redundant code.
Python-First Iteration
Strategies are developed and iterated in Python to maximize speed, clarity, and experimentation. Where performance matters, QuanuX supports fast C/C++ indicators exposed through Python wrappers.
Explicit Authority
QuanuX enforces explicit Schema Authority and Tool Authority to prevent silent drift. Contracts are defined once and verified continuously. Tooling is registry-defined, inspectable, and constrained by design.
Choice Without Lock-In
QuanuX provides integrations and examples — not mandates. You may use or replace any part of the system. Guardrails exist to guide you, not to trap you.
Architecture
at a Glance
QuanuX separates concerns intentionally.
Clients
Presentation layers (Desktop, Web, Mobile, TV)
The Server
Hosts all business logic and execution control
Strategies
Modular, testable systems
Bridges
Connect to brokerages and data providers
Schemas
Define canonical contracts
Tools
Expose controlled automation through MCP
This separation allows QuanuX to scale from a single laptop to distributed clusters — without changing how strategies are written.
Clients & Platforms
QuanuX clients are purpose-built for their roles.
Desktop and Web clients are built with React, Tailwind, and a lightweight Rust-based Tauri container. These are the primary environments for development, configuration, and deep system interaction.
Mobile, tablet, TV, and other device clients are built with React Native. These targets are intended primarily for monitoring and interaction, not for authoring strategies.
These choices reflect intended use — not enforced limits.
You are free to re-implement any client using any technology if your needs differ.
AI, On Your Terms
QuanuX is AI-ready, but not AI-dependent.
AI tools can be integrated to assist with problem solving, edge-case reasoning, platform extension, and strategy exploration. QuanuX provides agent instruction files that guide AI systems in understanding how the platform is structured and where logic belongs.
You bring your own AI provider — including private or self-hosted models.
- QuanuX does not proxy prompts.
- QuanuX does not collect AI data.
- QuanuX does not centralize intelligence.
AI is a tool. You remain responsible.
Privacy & Ownership
QuanuX is installed on hardware you control.
Your strategies, data, models, and experiments remain yours.
Nothing leaves your system unless you explicitly configure it to.
This is not a feature. It is a design constraint.
Who QuanuX Is For
QuanuX is built for people willing to understand their tools.
- Independent traders and prop traders
- Quantitative researchers
- Funds and institutions that require inspectable systems
- Students who want real systems, not toy abstractions
You do not need a PhD to use QuanuX.
You do need curiosity, patience, and responsibility.
