Your C# strategy
Start from a strategy template or work with custom C# source. Validate the code, inspect diagnostics, and preserve the source used by each run.
QUANTDEVELOPER STUDIO
The complete context
for your next experiment.
A local research environment for working with historical data, writing C# strategies, exploring parameters, and testing what holds up over time.
LOCAL BY DESIGNA workspace you can inspect.
From source history to saved results, keep the ingredients of an experiment together.

REPRODUCIBLE SETUP03 / 04
01WINDOWS DESKTOP
Work through the idea.
Keep every detail.
The desktop brings source code, data, experiment setup, and results into a single research workspace.
Data with provenance
Download supported API history or import vendor files. Inspect coverage, source fingerprints, record types, and timestamp conventions in the catalog.
Three ways to search
Use Grid, Random, or Genetic optimization to explore parameter ranges. Keep the selected history and execution assumptions attached to the search.
Chronological evaluation
Configure training, validation, and out-of-sample periods. Use walk-forward research to examine selections over successive windows of history.
A reproducible record
Return to a saved experiment’s source, parameters, costs, data fingerprint, results, and execution log. Presets retain the research configuration.
A considered interface
Switch between Silver and Dark from the split circle in the upper-right corner. Inspect results while keeping the current experiment setup accessible.
02PLATFORM SUPPORT
The right runtime
for the work.
Windows and Ubuntu serve different workflows. The Linux runtime has a deliberately narrower supported strategy and data scope.
| Capability | Windows desktop | Ubuntu headless |
|---|---|---|
| Interface | Native desktop, Silver and Dark themes | Command-line research and optimization |
| Strategy source | C# strategies and desktop templates | Four built-in bar strategies |
| Parameter search | Grid, Random, Genetic | Headless optimization for supported bar strategies |
| Research evaluation | Historical backtests, validation, OOS, walk-forward | Supported portable bar research workflows |
| Raw trade workflows | Native Windows raw-trade research | Not supported; use the supported bar workflow |
| Custom C# / ATS | Supported desktop source workflow | Not supported |
| Broker integration | Adapter-specific setup and entitlements required | Not supported |
API and vendor records have different semantics. Quote-derived bars are research prices; they do not by themselves reproduce spreads, queue position, or tick-level execution.
03EXECUTION INTEGRATIONS
Connections require
their own preparation.
Research results do not establish that an account, instrument, or broker adapter is ready for live orders.
Read the integration notesAvailable adapter work covers Interactive Brokers TWS, Trading Technologies, Saxo OpenAPI, and kabu Station. Each connection requires its own account permissions, credentials, configuration, and provider-specific validation.
