Using QuantX

Getting Started

1. Run the Backend

   • Clone the repo and follow backend install instructions.
   • Start the backend server.

2. Run the Frontend

   • Start the Electron/React app.
   • It will connect to the backend via websocket/Redis.

Developing Strategies

• Write strategy code in the backend.
• Register new strategies according to backend guidelines.
• Deploy and manage strategies via backend API or frontend controls.

Extending the Frontend

• Add new UI components to display data.
• No need to implement hooks or data fetching logic—simply handle the data provided by backend streams.

Communication Protocols

• Websockets: For real-time data and events.
• Redis (if used): For pub/sub, cache, and inter-service communication.

Best Practices

• Keep business logic on the backend.
• Use the frontend for presentation and controls only.

Troubleshooting

• If the frontend shows no data, check backend server and websocket connections.
• All errors and logs are available in the backend logs.
