Quantower: configurable trading terminals, broker connections and local automation

Quantower provides the trader-facing application for analysis, order entry and account monitoring. Its business offering lets a broker supply the original terminal or a branded edition with its own name, logo and default workspaces. Exchanges can connect an existing server through an API; data providers can commission connectivity plus historical-data collection and quote transmission services. These are separate project scopes.[1]

There are also partner-specific distributions. The connection directory requires the special AMP Quantower application to obtain AMP’s advertised free premium features. It describes Optimus Flow as a Quantower white label with its own additions and journal. A standard download, a partner-branded edition and an unrestricted direct licence can therefore carry different entitlements.[3]

Quantower’s API can place, modify and cancel orders and close positions. Requests specify the account and symbol; partial closing depends on the connected service supporting it. The documented Success result means a request was sent to the server, which is a narrower event than an execution confirmation. This interface has trading authority, so a custom strategy needs the same account and order controls as manual dealing.[7]

For strategy providers, the B2B offer supports C# development by Quantower or private implementation without disclosing the logic to its developers. The public offer does not establish a universal hosted runtime, redistribution licence or source-code transfer; those are project terms.[1]

The direct terminal tariff displays 70 per month, but the readable official price page does not expose a currency code or symbol. Currency and tax therefore need confirmation before that figure is used as a payable quote.[8]

A direct paid licence permits one computer at a time. Logging in on another computer ends the other session; simultaneous use requires multiple licences. This matters when budgeting a desk, a backup workstation or a demonstration environment rather than treating a personal licence as an unlimited broker deployment.[10]

The pricing page also permits buying individual premium features. Third-party extensions have their own developer support. The inspected B2B material does not publish current setup fees, minimum seats, volume commitments or an enterprise service-level schedule.[8][1]

The current installation guide specifies Windows 10 or 11 and .NET Desktop Runtime 10, with at least 1 GB of free disk space. It recommends 16 GB RAM, four CPU cores and an SSD for a responsive configuration. The package extracts into a chosen folder without the usual Program Files or registry installation; moving that folder can move the application and settings.[11]

Initial exploration can use dxFeed Simulated, which has a limited symbol set and a 24-hour delay. Binance opens in information mode; trading needs a change of mode and API keys. Those startup connections are useful for distinguishing an installed terminal from an entitled real-time data feed or an authenticated trading account.[11]

History Exporter writes available historical market data to CSV, selecting symbols, date ranges, data types and aggregation separately. Chart and table panels can also export prices, indicators and displayed values. Availability follows the connected source. These tools support research and migration, but the documented export scope is not a complete broker-client database or a perpetual redistribution right.[13]

The FAQ publishes Monday–Friday, 09:00–18:00 CET. The contact page instead publishes Monday–Friday, 01:00–15:00 CST. Because those are different schedules, a deployment should establish the applicable time zone and support window in its agreement. Neither statement establishes a contracted incident-restoration clock.[10][15]

The FAQ says fixes are usually made for the current and preceding version. It describes the platform as Windows-only; running it on macOS through a virtual machine has no assurance of stable operation. This makes version and operating-system choices part of support planning.[10]

The terms identify Quantower LLC as the software supplier and grant a personal, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence. They apply to white- or grey-label editions only when those editions lack their own terms. Commercial branding arrangements therefore need their own permitted-use and distribution scope.[16]

The same terms route orders to an approved broker or other financial intermediary, defined as the Clearer. An order is not deemed executed until that party acknowledges it; binding transaction details appear on its confirmation. The platform’s order display is not the financial contract or a substitute for the counterparty’s account permissions.[16]

Local SL/TP orders operate on the user’s machine. Closing Quantower permanently deletes all of them; losing a connection permanently deletes its local orders, without restoration after reconnecting. They can use trailing levels or up to three bracket tiers, but Quantower warns against mixing them with native SL/TP and against using Reverse or Breakeven with these local orders. Their location and persistence are essential deployment facts.[18]

The privacy notice describes contact-form and chat information, requests for access, copies and deletion, and retention of enquiry history to support later requests. It supplies [email protected] as the rights contact. It does not specify an enterprise trading-data retention period or a timed deletion commitment for every connected service.[17]

Quantower’s own history dates its founding to 2017 in Dnipro, Ukraine. Its June 2018 cTrader announcement identifies Alexey Bogdan as a co-founder and describes the modular application’s early expansion beyond individual broker connections. That announcement is historical context; current connection manuals determine today’s configuration.[19]

The current contact page identifies Quantower, LLC as the Ukraine head office and Quantower Technologies Private Limited as its India representative. The regional company name should be distinguished from the operator named in the global software terms when identifying the seller and support arrangement.[15]

The full release history lists version 1.147.8 as Stable, dated 20 October 2026, with chart, account-linking and indicator fixes. It separately marks earlier September and October builds Beta. A stable terminal release does not by itself remove a feature-specific beta label.[23]

The Copy Trading manual documents cross-connection copying from version 1.140.1, illustrated with CQG and Rithmic and explicit symbol mapping. Parent-to-child quantities can be scaled. It requires ownership or permission for the managed accounts and warns that rejections, insufficient funds, disconnected accounts and timing differences can leave positions unsynchronized.[20]

Copying runs only while Quantower is open. A bot left active resumes on the next launch; only active connections receive copied orders, and a connection already inactive at shutdown may not generate a new warning on restart. Start/stop controls and activity logs are therefore operational controls, not just display preferences.[20]

The Strategies Manager separately launches live trading or analytical algorithms. Parameters changed after launch apply only after a strategy restart. By default, active strategies stop when the application closes and require manual relaunch; automatic restoration is an explicit setting. Metrics and logs survive stopping an individual strategy but are erased by a whole-platform restart. A persistent audit trail needs a deliberate collection design.[21]

The supplier’s 10 September 2026 guide describes Risk Management as a free beta feature. It separates preventive order/position limits from reactive P&L, balance and equity rules. A rule may observe only or Flatten, sending close-position and cancel-order actions within its scope. Lock on Risk Event freezes the template for a configured period while subsequent orders are still checked.[22]

That risk layer needs the application open and connected. It does not enforce rules after shutdown or a dropped connection, replace the prop firm’s own calculation, or guarantee a fill price. Fixed balance/equity thresholds also do not automatically reproduce a firm’s trailing-drawdown method. Trading windows and data-latency limits are additional configurable controls.[22]

For spreadsheet workflows, RTD uses Excel’s default two-second throttle unless changed. A delayed spreadsheet refresh therefore need not mean the underlying connection has the same delay. The documented formulas retrieve data; the separate trading API provides order actions.[6][7]

The public terms permit immediate termination that can destroy membership information and generally state fees are non-refundable; the pricing page separately provides the initial-order refund window above. Account closure, saved local data and any partner-edition contract should be handled as separate exit tasks.[16][8]
