Qubx is a next-generation quantitative trading framework designed for efficient backtesting and live trading. Built with Python, it offers a robust environment for developing, testing, and deploying trading strategies.

Qubx is under active development. We are continuously improving the framework and will update our documentation in the coming days/weeks. This will include comprehensive end-to-end examples for running simulations and live trading.

Supported Data Types

Qubx supports a wide range of market data:

• OHLC (candlestick data)
• L2 Orderbook
• Liquidations
• Funding rates
• And more...

Quick Start

1. Install Dependencies

just install

2. Create a Strategy

# Create a simple strategy template (default)
uv run qubx init

# Or specify a name and symbols
uv run qubx init --name my_strategy --symbols BTCUSDT,ETHUSDT

3. Run Your Strategy

cd my_strategy

# Run in paper trading mode
uv run qubx run config.yml --paper

# Or run in Jupyter mode for interactive development
./jpaper.sh

Available Templates

# List available strategy templates
uv run qubx init --list-templates

# Create strategy with full project structure and MACD example
