Concepts¶
How qkt actually works — the model behind the commands.
-
Architecture
The data flow from tick to fill, end to end, with a Mermaid diagram.
-
Determinism
Why the backtest produces the exact same trades as live-paper given the same ticks — and why that matters.
-
Backtest model
What the backtest assumes about fills, equity, and drawdown — what guarantees you get and don't.
-
Broker integration
Capability matrix, fallback paths, magic semantics, position reconciliation.
