Trading Platform Agent

The Trading Platform Agent (TPA) is a lightweight app that runs on your PC. Quanorix keeps your account, shared market data, and UI in the cloud; heavy compute (generation, validation, portfolios when applicable) runs on the agent linked to your account.

​
Why it exists

  • Avoids saturating shared servers with long genetic searches or walk-forwards.
  • Uses your machine’s CPU/RAM, with local control (workers, bar cache).
  • One active agent per account (MVP): pairing again replaces the previous one.

​
What you need

  1. Download and install the TPA (Install and pair).
  2. Complete Link / pair until the agent is online.
  3. Have market data downloaded (and, on the agent, the M1 cache synced when a job needs it).

In the web app (Profile)

Under Profile → Agent status you will see:
  • No agent linked — pairing not done yet.
  • Connected · <name> — linked and online (recent heartbeats).
  • Linked (offline) · <name> — an agent is registered but not online (TPA closed, network, etc.).
You can Unlink agent from Profile to clear the link.

​
Job types on the agent

Depending on product routing, the TPA may run compute jobs assigned to your account (e.g. generation). Data jobs (cloud downloads) stay on the server path; the TPA provides local cache when a compute job needs M1 series.
