Why Quantower Is Gaining Traction
Quantower carved out the pro-grade niche between Tradovate (too simple for power users) and NinjaTrader (too dated for new users) with four advantages:
- True multi-asset platform. Trade futures, equities, crypto, and FX in one interface. Useful if your prop firm covers multiple asset classes.
- Advanced DOM with custom columns. Display volume profile, bid-ask delta, and custom indicators inside the DOM. Beats Tradovate’s standard ladder.
- Footprint charts native. No third-party add-on required. Footprint, volume profile, and time-and-sales analysis all built in.
- Connects to Rithmic, CQG, and dxFeed. Pick the data feed your prop firm offers. Some firms route through Rithmic; Quantower handles both.
How to Use Quantower With a Prop Firm
- Pick a Quantower-supporting firm from the grid above. Apex, Topstep, Lucid, and Tradeify all offer Quantower as a frontend option.
- Download Quantower from quantower.com — free Personal edition available for live trading.
- Configure the prop firm’s data feed — typically Rithmic. Get credentials from your prop firm and connect inside Quantower.
- Set up your workspace. Quantower’s template system lets you save chart layouts, hotkeys, and indicators per account.
- Start trading. Quantower respects the prop firm’s server-side risk rules — daily loss, trailing drawdown, max contracts.
What to Watch Out For
- Premium tier costs extra. Personal edition is free but limited. Quantower Pro runs $79/month standalone. Some prop firms bundle Pro features; some do not.
- Steeper learning curve than Tradovate. Powerful but dense interface. Plan 1-2 weeks to get comfortable if coming from a simpler platform.
- Smaller indicator ecosystem than NinjaTrader. Quantower has its own scripting language (QScript), but the third-party indicator library is thinner than NinjaScript’s decade-deep catalog.
Final Thoughts
Quantower is the right pick if you want a single platform that does futures, crypto, and equities at pro depth — especially if you already use Rithmic and want a modern frontend. For pure futures with simple charting, Tradovate is easier. For pure futures with strategy backtesting, NinjaTrader is deeper. Quantower owns the middle ground.
Quantower — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about quantower futures prop firms — rules, payouts, restrictions, and trader-tested findings. Updated automatically as firm coverage changes.
Which prop firms support Quantower for futures trading?
Apex Trader Funding, Topstep, Lucid Trading, and Tradeify all offer Quantower as a frontend option. Apex was the first major prop firm to integrate Quantower, and adoption has been growing as more traders want footprint charts and advanced DOM without paying for Sierra Chart. The grid above shows the full verified list ranked by DGT editorial priority.
Is Quantower free with a prop firm account?
The Quantower Personal edition is free for live trading and covers most prop firm needs — charting, DOM, basic strategy execution. Quantower Pro adds advanced features like footprint charts, custom indicator scripting, and multi-account management for $79/month standalone. Some firms cover the Pro fee for funded traders; most do not. Check your firm before assuming.
Quantower vs NinjaTrader — which is better for prop firms?
Quantower wins on modern UI, multi-asset support, and native footprint charts. NinjaTrader wins on indicator library depth, strategy backtesting, and the size of the support community. New traders typically prefer Quantower's cleaner interface; veteran NinjaTrader users stick with what they know. If your prop firm offers both, try Quantower first since it is faster to set up.
Does Quantower support algo trading on prop firm accounts?
Yes — Quantower has its own scripting language (QScript) for automated strategies. You can run automated systems on Rithmic-connected prop firm accounts subject to the firm's algo trading policy. Apex and Topstep both allow algo trading via Quantower; check each firm's rules before deploying automation in production.
Can I use Quantower to trade Bookmap-style order flow?
Quantower has native footprint charts, volume profile, time-and-sales, and DOM heatmaps that cover most order flow analysis needs. It is not as visually polished as Bookmap for pure heatmap visualization but it gets you 80% of the way at a fraction of the cost. If you need true Bookmap-quality heatmaps, run Bookmap alongside Quantower on the same Rithmic feed — many traders do this.
