    Welcome to the QuantX project!
QuantX is a backend-first application for quantitative research and trading, designed to separate strategy logic from presentation. The backend handles all strategy development, data management, and deployment, while the frontend—built with Electron/React—serves as a dynamic, attractive, and fast presentation layer.
Key Principles:
- Backend-First: All core logic, including strategy development and deployment, resides on the backend.
- Frontend as Presentation: The React/Electron frontend displays data from the backend via websockets or Redis but does not contain any trading logic or use React hooks for data fetching.
- Electron for Moat: Using Electron ensures the app runs in a dedicated environment, avoiding competition with browser tabs and providing a polished user experience.
