QuanuX connects to brokerages and prop firms through the QuanuX Extension Protocol (QXP). Rather than bundling broker-specific code into the core, each integration runs as a standalone sidecar process — a small Go program that sits next to the QuanuX core, handles the broker’s wire protocol, and feeds data into the core over HTTP or WebSocket. This keeps the execution engine clean and lets you run only the integrations you actually need.

​
How extensions work

Every brokerage integration follows the same setup pattern:
  1. Generate a bridge key in Settings → QuanuX Extensions → Generate Key. The key authenticates the sidecar to the core.
  2. Set your credentials using quanuxctl secrets. Credentials are stored in the OS keyring — never in plain-text config files.
  3. Start the extension by running go run main.go in the extension directory, or via quanuxctl start.
All extensions live under the /extensions directory in your QuanuX installation. Each has its own subdirectory with a main.go entry point and a dedicated configuration guide.

​

Interactive Brokers

The IBKR extension (/extensions/ibkr) connects to your locally running TWS (Trader Workstation) or IB Gateway instance over the TWS API port. Prerequisites: TWS or IB Gateway must be running on your machine with the API server enabled. Set the following environment variables before starting the extension: 
export QUANUX_IBKR_HOST=localhost
export QUANUX_IBKR_PORT=7497
export QUANUX_BRIDGE_KEY=$(quanuxctl secrets get QUANUX_IBKR_KEY)
Then start the extension: 
cd extensions/ibkr
go run main.go

​
Tradovate

The Tradovate extension (/extensions/tradovate) connects directly to Tradovate’s cloud WebSocket API — no locally installed software required. Set your Tradovate API key before starting: 
export QUANUX_TRADOVATE_KEY=your_api_key_here
export QUANUX_BRIDGE_KEY=$(quanuxctl secrets get QUANUX_TRADOVATE_KEY)
Then start the extension: 
cd extensions/tradovate
go run main.go
