Quantower is a multi-asset trading tool built by a Ukrainian fintech team: Quantower LLC out of Dnipro, with a UK entity (QUANTOWER WEST LTD) registered in Sheffield. What makes it relevant here is simple: multiple futures prop firms have built native connections directly into the platform, and Rithmic passthrough adds a dozen more. If you’re shopping for a platform that works with your funded account and actually has serious order flow tools, Quantower belongs in the conversation.
So let’s get into what it actually does.
The Free Version Is Real, Not a Trick
Most platforms advertise a free tier that’s functionally useless. Quantower’s is legitimately workable. You get one active connection, time and tick charts with custom timeframes, DOM Trader, Time & Sales, 40+ drawing tools and technical indicators, chart alerts, and access to their C# API for custom indicator development.
The limits are real too. One overlay per chart. Two indicators per chart. One active connection at a time. If you’re running a multi-account funded setup or need footprint charts during your evaluation, the free version won’t cut it. But for getting oriented with the platform before you pay anything? It’s actually useful.
There’s also a 7-day full-featured trial after you register a Quantower account, which gives you everything unlocked for a week. Worth doing before you commit to anything.
Pricing: One License, Everything Included
The All-in-One license starts at $70/month. That covers every feature, every connection, and every update for the duration of your subscription.
Longer commitments get you automatic discounts: 3 months saves you 10%, 6 months saves 20%, and a full year brings it down 30%, so closer to around $49/month annualized. There’s also a Lifetime option if you want to pay once and be done with it.
One thing to understand: the Quantower license does not include market data. Whatever your prop firm or broker provides through their connection is what you’ll work with. If you need additional exchange data feeds, that’s a separate cost entirely.
If you don’t need everything in All-in-One, Quantower sells individual extensions: DOM Surface, Volume Analysis, TPO Profile Chart, Power Trades, Advanced Features, and Options Trading are each available as standalone add-ons. Handy if you just want footprint charts without paying full freight.
Refunds exist, but only on initial orders within a 10-day window. Lifetime licenses are non-refundable, so try the trial first.
The Tools: What Quantower Actually Does Well
Here’s the thing: Quantower is built around order flow analysis. That’s the core identity of the platform. Everything else (charting, indicators, interface flexibility) is solid, but the volume tools are what traders actually choose Quantower for.
Volume Analysis is the main event. The Cluster Chart (footprint) gives you price, volume, time, and order flow on a single chart simultaneously. You get all Volume Profile types (Right, Left, Custom, Step), plus VWAP and anchored VWAP, Time Statistics, Time Histogram, Historical Time & Sales down to the individual trade level, Price Statistics, Volume Impact, and Dynamic VPOC indicators. That’s a complete order flow toolkit, not a cherry-picked selection.
DOM Surface is the heatmap panel. It visualizes the order book as a liquidity map, tracking how limit orders move and stack at each price level in real time. Three coloring modes, imbalance stats, trade-by-trade detail through the Details Inspector. You can submit orders directly from the DOM Surface with one click. Works across Futures, Stocks, Crypto, and ETFs depending on your connection.
TPO Profile Chart handles Market Profile analysis. Set custom aggregation periods, choose boxed or lettered view, display POC, Value Area, and Singles, split profiles at any bar, merge multiple profiles together, overlay a standard chart underneath for technical analysis. Session time controls let you isolate specific trading windows.
For technical traders who don’t need order flow, the charting side covers Kagi, Renko, Point & Figure, Line Break, Heikin Ashi, Range Bars, Tick charts, and standard time-based charts with custom periods. The drawings library includes Fibonacci, Gann, harmonic patterns, trend channels, and geometry tools. Oscillators, moving averages, volume indicators. The standard toolkit is all there.
Chart overlays let you put multiple instruments on the same chart with absolute price scales, useful for correlation work on ES vs NQ or watching CL alongside a related instrument.
Prop Firm Connections: Confirmed on Quantower’s Site
Quantower’s connections page lists these prop firms as native, dedicated integrations. Not generic Rithmic passthrough. These are firms that have built or sponsored their own named connection entry directly on quantower.com:
Apex Trader Funding, Bulenox, Earn2Trade, Elite Trader Funding, Evalu8trading, Funded Futures Network, Leeloo Trading, OneupTrader, Phidias Propfirm, Phoenix Trader Funding, Take Profit Trader, TickTick Trader.
That’s 12 officially listed futures prop firms. Rithmic is also a standalone connection on the platform, which means firms like MyFunded Futures, TradeDay, Lucid Trading, and others that provide Rithmic credentials will also work. They just don’t carry an official Quantower partnership badge.
AMP Futures and Optimus Futures (Optimus Flow) both get special treatment: traders using those connections get Quantower’s paid premium features at no extra cost through dedicated white-label applications. If your prop firm’s Rithmic credentials route through AMP, you might not need to pay for a Quantower license at all. Worth checking before you subscribe.
What’s Free with Certain Connections
Worth knowing before you pay for a license: some broker connections unlock Quantower’s premium features at zero extra cost. AMP Futures has a dedicated Quantower application that provides all premium features free, though you need to download their specific version rather than the standard Quantower install. Optimus Flow works the same way.
If you’re trading futures through AMP or Optimus, the All-in-One cost potentially drops to $0. Check your prop firm’s setup documentation before subscribing.
The Windows Problem
No Mac version. Full stop. Quantower’s FAQ addresses this directly: the platform is Windows 10+ only, requires .NET Framework 4.8, and Quantower themselves state they can’t guarantee stable operation through Parallels or VMWare Fusion on Mac. Their developers have mentioned a Mac version in planning, but no timeline appears anywhere on the official site.
If you’re on Mac, this is a real limitation with no clean workaround. Recommended specs for running Quantower well: 16GB RAM, 4-core CPU minimum, SSD. The platform is processing order flow data in real time, and an under-specced machine will show it.
System Specs and Setup Notes
From Quantower’s FAQ: minimum Windows 10 with latest updates, .NET Framework 4.8, 1GB disk space (more depending on history loaded). Recommended: 16GB RAM, 4-core CPU, SSD. The platform supports multiple monitors natively. Each panel is independent and can be placed on any screen, then saved as a workspace.
Support runs Monday through Friday, 9am to 6pm Central European Time. Live chat on the site, a Telegram channel, and a YouTube channel with video documentation are all available.
Bottom Line
Quantower is a serious platform for futures traders who think in order flow. The volume analysis suite (footprint charts, volume profiles, DOM Surface heatmap, TPO profiles) is genuinely comprehensive, not a stripped-down version of what professional desktop software offers.
The $70/month All-in-One price is fair for what you get, especially with the 30% annual discount and the fact that some connections (AMP, Optimus Flow) unlock premium features for free anyway. The free version and 7-day trial mean you can evaluate it properly before spending anything.
The real limitations are straightforward: Windows only with no Mac support in sight, and market data costs are separate from the platform license. For prop traders on Rithmic-based firms like Apex, Bulenox, MyFunded Futures, and Take Profit Trader, Quantower connects without much friction.
If your current setup is missing footprint charts and you’ve been paying extra for a third-party order flow tool on top of your existing platform, Quantower is worth a serious look.
