“I use Quantower to trade futures and overall the platform is pretty good. It seems to be solid from a core fundamental standpoint. It has some drawbacks and known bugs that keep it from being really great. I have reported via Discord and to their support team, hopefully they get fixed. The SL/TP management is OK, but not great. You can't snap chart orders, crosshairs etc to the grid by tick which is a pain and makes scalping harder than it should be. Also the charting and drawing tools are just a bit underdeveloped. Anything drawn on a tick chart past the current bar will drift and skew, the zoom isn't smooth and jumps visually between zoom points. Also it's oddly missing the ability to draw lines and trends snapped horizontally. All charting issues. I'm a user, not completely happy, but I'm going to stick with them. Hopefully they fix some of these issues, it could take the software from good to great.”
“I love the platform! I am mostly if not all order flow. I do not use very many indicators, so I can't comment on that side, but they have a perfect, active DOM, with plenty of options to view and choose from depending on how you watch it. They have footprint charts, volume profile, I love the custom profile options that you can click and box around any area or timeframe on the chart to get a specific time section of order flow. I don't use them as much, but they have really nice TPO charts, and the simulated trading is perfect for practicing. Any issues I have had I get an extremely quick response back from, and has fixed every issue I've had. I have not had any persisting issues with the platform whatsoever, and with the way I trade, I am perfectly happy with the platform. I still, a year or so later, can't believe I get to use this platform for free through AMP futures. The only thing I wish is that I could get the free version with Rithmic data. The only other 'complaint' but is not a huge deal, is that I wish the playback had an in between time setting, you can play back the chart in percentages, and I believe I usually watch and 'trade' at 40%, I wish there were more granular percentages to choose, since 50% is way too fast, and 40% can be almost too slow. Those are my personal pros and cons. I have been extremely happy with the platform. And again I am very happy and still amazed that I get to use it for free!”
“I come from a sports trading background so the amount of customizable features in Quantower is vast compared to what I'm accustomed to. Overall it's a really efficent and feature heavy platform. The DOM interface is very responsive and I've not encountered too much lag/connection issues. Ocassionally I have an issue where my settings are not applied properly when I open the software, so I have to manually reconfigure them (mostly volume related), but it's rare and not a huge issue.”
