“I am a former long-term user of the Sierra Chart platform.
The Good:
The undoubted advantages of the Quantower platform are the ability to split charts across multiple monitors. Similar to the SC platform, the synchronization of the crosshair on charts between monitors works. Ordering a trade is very easy, also using the mouse from the chart level. I also contacted support, I found a small error in one of the functions. They accepted my report without a problem and after about 2 weeks a fix was released.
The Bad:
I once had a case of the platform freezing when exiting a trade. After restarting it, fortunately, the trade was gone, it was effectively closed before the platform hung.
In Between:
More personalization settings would be useful. I miss the ability to change the thickness of the candle shadow, the value in ticks in the retracement and Fibo projection, the ability to set automatic movement of the stop loss after a given price change in ticks.”
“Good features but seems incomplete at most of them . Not as smooth as my previous experiences with stock trading softwares . Needs powerful computer. But overall good for a free software.”
“Quantower has been a huge boost for my trading. It has all of the features, indicators, and objects that I need for day trading, as well as other tools for my longer-term and swing trading. It's powerful and feature-filled. Because of that, it takes a little bit of time to learn the platform, but once you do, it's intuitive and very powerful. I have made all sorts of customizations for my trading, and I haven't found a single thing that I've needed which the platform didn't already have built in. I highly recommend Quantower!”
“Platform is unable to instantly place a stop loss order upon entry. I had a 4 point stop order rejected and took a much larger loss because of it. Honestly I don't know if the problem is with the platform or AMP Futures servers, but I cannot recommend trusting the platform for these types of typical orders. AMP was no help, said there was nothing they could do about it.”
“One big drawback: It doesn't have a hotkey and quick buttons for "Breakeven +". Using the right click context menu is too slow and complicated. I need to monitor other parameters during trade.”
