Quantower Review: Features, Pricing, Free Version, Pros and Cons

Order-flow traders usually stack several paid tools: a platform, a footprint add-on, a heatmap. Quantower puts them in one broker-neutral platform with a free tier. This review covers what it does, what the free version really includes, what it costs, what it connects to, which prop firms offer it and how it compares with NinjaTrader and TradingView.

What is Quantower?

Quantower is a multi-asset trading platform for Windows built by Quantower LLC, a Ukrainian company with a UK entity, Quantower West Ltd. It is broker-neutral: instead of belonging to one broker, it connects to more than 40 brokers, exchanges and data feeds — futures through Rithmic and CQG, crypto exchanges such as Binance Futures, Bybit and OKX, forex brokers including OANDA and cTrader brokers, and Interactive Brokers for stocks and options. Its focus is order-flow trading: a DOM price ladder, footprint charts, volume profile, TPO and an order-book heatmap.

The short verdict: Quantower is one of the strongest order-flow platforms for its price, with a usable free version and a paid licence far cheaper than most order-flow stacks. Its limits are Windows only, a learning curve, and the fact that the free version locks every volume tool. Below we cover features, pricing, the free tier, connections, prop firms and how it compares.

What can you do on Quantower?

Panels can be linked by symbol, detached to other monitors and saved as workspaces, which is how most futures traders run it: chart, DOM and Time & Sales for one market on a screen. If footprints and the DOM are new to you, start with order flow trading and the footprint chart guide.

How good is Quantower for order flow?

◆ Screenshot · cluster (footprint) chart

This is where Quantower earns its reputation. Cluster charts show bid and ask volume at every price inside each bar, with delta and imbalance views; volume profiles can be drawn per session, per bar or over a custom range; VWAP and TPO profiles sit on the same chart; and DOM Surface shows how resting liquidity builds and disappears around price. Together they cover most of what traders buy separate tools for — Bookmap for the heatmap, a footprint add-on for the clusters.

Two limits matter. The heatmap and footprint are only as good as the data feed: futures through Rithmic or CQG give full depth and tick data, while some crypto and forex connections give less. And on a complex workspace the platform needs a capable PC; it is Windows only, and on a Mac it runs only inside a virtual machine, which Quantower does not guarantee to be stable.

What does Quantower cost?

There is a 7-day All-in-One trial and a 10-day money-back guarantee on subscriptions (not on lifetime licences). Many futures traders pay nothing: brokers such as AMP (CQG) and Optimus Futures and several prop firms provide Quantower licences to their clients. Check prices on Quantower's pricing page before buying — they change, and add-on prices are shown at checkout.

What does the free version include?

◆ Screenshot · DOM Surface and volume profile

The free version is a real trading platform, not a demo: one live connection at a time, the DOM Trader, chart trading and drawing tools, Time & Sales, the API and the Strategy Runner. What it locks is exactly what most people come for — every volume analysis tool (footprint, volume profile, VWAP), DOM Surface, Market Replay, the simulator, the screener and Renko and Kagi charts — and it limits each chart to two indicators and one overlay.

So the free tier suits a trader who wants a fast DOM for execution and charts elsewhere — for example analysis on TradingView and execution in Quantower. For order-flow trading you need a paid licence, or a broker or prop firm that includes one.

What can Quantower connect to?

Quantower lists 40+ connections in total; the list changes, so check its connections page for your broker. Only one connection runs at a time in the free version. For futures, the feed choice matters as much as the platform — Rithmic vs Tradovate explains the difference.

Which prop firms offer Quantower?

Quantower is one of the standard platforms at futures prop firms. Comparison sites list it as free at Topstep, Tradeify, Lucid Trading, Take Profit Trader, Alpha Futures, Phidias and TradeDay, and as available at Bulenox and My Funded Futures, usually through Rithmic or the firm's own connection. Firms change their platform line-ups — one firm stopped offering Quantower on new purchases in August 2026 — so confirm on the firm's site before buying an evaluation. Our reviews of Topstep, Tradeify, Lucid Trading and Take Profit Trader list the current platforms.

Reference data

Worked example: a futures trader's workspace

A trader on a Topstep evaluation connects Quantower through the firm's connection and builds one workspace for NQ: a 1-minute cluster chart with session volume profile and VWAP on the left, the DOM Trader in the middle and Time & Sales on the right. Before the open she marks the prior day's value area high and low from the profile and her higher-timeframe levels from TradingView.

When price drops into the prior value area low, the footprint shows heavy selling absorbed at one price and delta turning positive, and DOM Surface shows bids holding. She buys from the DOM with a bracket order: stop below the absorption level, target at the session VWAP. The platform did not find the trade — the plan did — but it showed what the order flow was doing at the level she had chosen.

Is Quantower worth it, and how does it fit with TradingView indicators?

For traders who want footprints, volume profile and a DOM heatmap without paying for several separate tools, Quantower is worth it — especially when a broker or prop firm includes the licence. It is less suitable for Mac users, for traders who only need charts and alerts, and for anyone who will not use order flow.

Many traders split the work: analysis and alerts on TradingView, execution and order flow in Quantower. Quantum Algo's indicators run on TradingView; the free Quantum Algo indicators mark liquidity, structure and key levels, and Zeno, the premium engine, prints its own buy and sell signals with an entry, a stop and two targets on futures and other markets, with every call on the public track record.
