QuantumTrade delivers 5 intelligence pillars no competitor ships: tax-aware at order time, AI coaching, education-as-permission, workstation-class desktop, and trust through transparency. 103K lines of code. 396 tests passing. Built by Tecnecon.
Six pillars that replace your entire trading software stack with one unified platform.

Pre-trade interruption: 8-rule deterministic engine checks concentration, revenge trading, wash-sale proximity, earnings, and more in <1ms. Claude Opus 4.6 LLM sidecar fires when severity ≥ Warn. Advisory only — never blocks.
Options, margin, and short-selling gated behind demonstrated competence — not a risk checkbox. Quiz → scenario → paper-trade → unlock. 11 gated features. AssessmentEngine with 4-component scoring.
thinkorswim killer: multi-monitor workspace, Level 2 ladder, options chain with Greeks heatmap, 5 ship-default templates, cross-device sync via Solace. Command palette (Ctrl+K). 29 keyboard shortcuts.
Per-fill execution quality at confirmation: NBBO, price improvement bps, fill latency, venue, PFOF (always $0). Public daily transparency dashboard. Same numbers shown to customers and regulators.
Vertically integrated with Tecnecon's QuantumTick data platform. Zero-hop exchange to order ticket. 10-link integration: security master, NBBO, L2 depth, corporate actions, TCA, SQL analytics. QuantumEM for DACS entitlement gating.
A purpose-built docking engine that rivals institutional terminals, without the $24,000 annual fee.
Every trader works differently. QuantumTrade's workspace engine adapts to your workflow, not the other way around.
