🌌 Quantum Terminal

A Next-Generation Open Source Trading & Quantitative Analysis Platform

---

📖 About The Project

Quantum Terminal is an advanced, fully free, and open-source trading terminal designed to bridge the gap between institutional-grade quantitative analysis and retail day trading.

Unlike traditional platforms that rely on lagging indicators (like RSI or MACD), Quantum Terminal processes real-time tick data from professional brokerages and overlays complex mathematical probability models directly onto your charts. It acts as a localized display hub, separating heavy mathematical computations from real-time charting to ensure zero-latency trade monitoring.

✨ Core Features

1. 🌐 Multi-Provider Live Feeds

Quantum Terminal is built to handle ultra-fast data streams from the most reliable data providers in the industry:

• MetaTrader 5 (MT5): Direct integration via Python API for Forex, Crypto, and CFD markets.
• Rithmic: High-frequency, sub-millisecond tick processing for CME Futures (NQ, ES).
• Tradovate: Seamless integration for retail futures traders. (The platform features a dedicated focus_tick_loop ensuring the chart you are actively watching refreshes at maximum FPS without bottlenecking the system).

2. 📐 Advanced Quantitative Models

Move beyond simple support and resistance. The platform integrates institutional volatility models to forecast price action probabilities:

• Volatility Cones: Visualizing expected price ranges using Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM), Merton Jump Diffusion (MJD), and Bates models.
• Scalp Bands & Micro Volatility: Real-time bands designed specifically for high-frequency scalpers.
• Probability Fields: Heatmaps mapping the statistical likelihood of price reverting or trending.

3. 🌊 Options Flow & Market Maker Positioning

Understanding where Market Makers are hedging is critical. Quantum Terminal visualizes:

• Gamma Exposure (GEX): Identifies sticky price levels and volatility triggers.
• Max Pain: Highlights the strike price with the most open options contracts.
• Option Walls: Visualizes heavy Call/Put resistance and support barriers.

4. 🌍 Macro Regime & Sector Rotation

Using data from yfinance, the terminal analyzes global market regimes:

• Tracks ETF Sector Rotation to see where smart money is flowing.
• Identifies the current market regime (Risk-On, Risk-Off, Inflationary, etc.) to align your trades with the broader macroeconomic trend.

🏗️ Architecture & Repository Structure

The project follows a decoupled architecture, ensuring the UI remains buttery smooth while the backend handles heavy lifting.

Note on Open Source: The Python backend and Electron shell are fully open source. The React frontend is provided as a compiled production build (frontend_build/), meaning it is fully functional and ready to run, though the raw .jsx source files are not included in this repository.

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10 or higher.
• MetaTrader 5 (If you intend to use the MT5 data feed).
• Node.js (Optional, if you wish to re-package the Electron shell).

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone [https://github.com/wJubran/QuantumTerminal.git](https://github.com/wJubran/QuantumTerminal.git)
   cd QuantumTerminal/backend
   

2. Install Python dependencies:

   pip install fastapi uvicorn websockets watchfiles yfinance MetaTrader5
   

3. Run the Backend Server:

   python launcher.py
   

4. The terminal will automatically serve the UI on http://127.0.0.1:8502 and launch your default browser.

(To run as a standalone desktop app, you can package the electron_shell directory using Electron Forge or Electron Builder).

🛠️ Contributing

This is a community-driven project! If you are a Python developer, Quant, or React engineer, your pull requests are welcome.

• Areas needing help: Enhancing thread safety for MT5 in data_server.py, adding new broker providers (like Interactive Brokers), and rebuilding an open-source React UI.
