# QuanuX: Quantitative Trading Framework

> QuanuX is an end-to-end quantitative trading platform for research, strategy development, backtesting, and ultra-low-latency execution across 20+ brokerages.

QuanuX gives quantitative traders a complete, self-hosted environment to research strategies in Python, test them in a high-speed backtesting engine, and deploy them to C++ execution nodes capable of 59-nanosecond tick-to-trade performance. Connect to over 20 brokerages and prop firms — all managed from a single CLI and research cockpit.
