What is quant-watch?

Global Quant Watch is a local stock market analysis dashboard that covers three markets: the Australian Securities Exchange, US equities, and China A-shares. It runs entirely on your own machine with no cloud account required and does not place real trades. The readme describes it as a research and personal analysis tool, not financial advice. The dashboard pulls real market data from configured external providers using optional API keys. It calculates standard technical indicators including MACD, RSI, trend, and momentum signals, and aggregates news and macro signals from the same providers or free fallbacks. Portfolio-aware features include stop-loss checks, position sizing guidance, and user-configured alerts. The app also tracks paper-trading agents that maintain strategy memory across multiple runs without touching a real brokerage account. A prediction tracking system logs past signals with their outcomes, calculating hit rates and confidence scores that update as results come in. The app only uses real data returned from providers or saved local snapshots. If no real provider or saved snapshot is available, it reports a provider failure rather than fabricating prices. Setup requires Node.js version 20 or newer and no additional npm packages beyond what the project declares. Copying the example environment file and running npm start is enough to launch the server. The dashboard opens in a browser at a local address. All API keys are optional and kept in a local file that git ignores. The cache directory, which stores watchlists and analysis history, is also excluded from version control. The project is released under the MIT license.
