App Mode
Class A QuantFlow - App Mode
How the local Windows launcher, browser dashboard, runtime state, local URL, logs, and shutdown scripts work.
Recommended launch process
- Double-click
START_QUANTFLOW_APP.bat. - The launcher starts the local dashboard and the market-data helper.
- The launcher selects an available local port, starting from 8501.
- The browser opens a local URL such as
http://localhost:8501. - If the browser does not open, run
STATUS_QUANTFLOW_APP.batand open the displayed URL. - Use
STOP_QUANTFLOW_APP.batto stop QuantFlow-owned processes.
Launch files
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
START_QUANTFLOW_APP.bat | Main app launcher. Most users should start here. |
STATUS_QUANTFLOW_APP.bat | Shows the selected dashboard URL and running process status. |
STOP_QUANTFLOW_APP.bat | Stops processes started by QuantFlow app mode. |
launcher_config.bat | Shared launcher configuration. Keep it at the top level unless all BAT references are edited. |
Runtime state and logs
- Runtime state is stored under
runtime/state/when available. - Process IDs are usually tracked in
runtime/state/quantflow_pids.json. - Logs are stored under the runtime/log area when available.
- The Diagnostics Report is available from Import / Export → Runtime / Storage Maintenance.
- SQLite stores local signal records and derived summaries on this computer.

Clock sync note
Short custom windows are sensitive to local PC time drift. If the app shows a clock warning, open Windows Date & Time settings and press Sync now.
Custom windows can be user-entered values; they are not fixed product values. The shorter the window, the more important local clock accuracy becomes.
Boundary
App mode is local. It does not require exchange login for user signal tracking, does not place orders, does not access exchange accounts, and does not guarantee performance.
