By the way Quantower full edition is completely free with AMP

I tried the demo for a week and the overall experience is good.

They lack some basic indicators like the previous OHLC that is a must for a future trader and others like KAMA (hope they will add soon) and
I have not seen the possibility to paint bars/candles with studies.

I'd love to see the current P&L and the cumulative P&L with commissions both in the trading interface module, like Sierra Chart

Another interesting thing is that AMP will allow you (with 10$ month + exchange fees) to have a double login for the same account using other CQG platforms for free like Qtrader or Multicharts.net.

Only for backup:
With the same User and password, you can have access to another CQG platform of your choice without any cost.
Obviously it works only if you are logged out from QUANTOWER

My preference is still Sierra Chart, but I love CQG data feed and order routing while they hate it. I don't understand the reason why a software engineer company want to impose their data feed (Denali) to brokers and traders

p.s.: DOM Surface is useful but only for the ES. From what I know CQG send only 10 price levels on bid/ask for the other index futures (even the MES has only 10 levels) anf this is very limited to all traders that want to analyze the market in this way. Rithmic does not have any limitation

DOM surface to be more useful needs of the delta cumulative indicator (line) placed in a new sub window

What do you love about CQG feed and order routing? Why is your preference still Sierrachart?

Agree on SC forcing their users onto their feeds/routing now, eliminating other options, and raising prices for them, especially when they have clear disadvantages vs CQG also or don't offer the products/access that other options do.

@QuantowerSupport,

I'm using Quantower with AMP/CQG. I like very much.

However one feature that I found missing is this: to automatically move the Stop-loss to break-even when the price moves in my favor.

Is this on the road map?

Thanks.

Is this called a "Trailing Stop ORDER"?

I have been using it for about 2 weeks now. I find it much better than Multicharts.NET for trading e-mini futures.
No complaints on setup, execution or features.
It's faster than MC.NET.
Currently rewriting indictors and automated strategy to work with QT from MC.NET.

Hello
I'm looking for s.o. who can adapt some easyLanguage /tradingview indicators to MC.Net.

Hello fellow Quantowerer's

I've been the using the free version via AMP. Really like it, however I'm stuck on how to get an ETH TPO chart that shows 6pm EST to 9:30am EST. The starting point works as entered into the session manager, but the end, where the chart stops printing varies from 1am to 3 am to 5:30 am...randomly it seems, when it should end at 9:30.

Thanks in advance for any advice you might have.

@1481,

Hey 1481,

Good question - this is actually a common gotcha with TPO charts in Quantower. The random end times you're seeing suggest the chart is falling back to the symbol's default session rather than using your custom session.

Here's what should fix it:

1. Session Template Setup
In Session Manager, make sure your template has the timezone explicitly set to EST/America-New_York. Sessions that span midnight (like your 6pm-9:30am) need to be defined as a single continuous session, not two separate ones.

2. Assign to the Specific Symbol
After creating the template, use "Assign sessions" and apply it directly to the ETH contract you're charting. This is the step most people miss.

3. TPO Chart Settings (Critical)
Open your TPO chart settings and look in the General section for "Custom session" - select your new template there. The TPO won't automatically use symbol-level sessions; you have to explicitly tell the chart which session to use.

4. Hide Out-of-Session Data
Under View settings, uncheck "Show out of session history" so the profile only builds within your 6pm-9:30am window.

The fact that it varies randomly (1am, 3am, 5:30am) tells me the chart is probably inheriting some default behavior rather than respecting your custom times. Step 3 above is usually the culprit.

In my quantower platform review work, I've found the session manager quite capable once you understand this two-step process: create the template, then explicitly assign it both at the symbol level AND in the individual panel settings. The quantower trading platform handles TPO profiles well - the session assignment just isn't as intuitive as it could be.

Let us know if that sorts it out. If you're still seeing inconsistent behavior after these changes, it might be worth checking if there's a timezone mismatch between your session template and the CQG feed.
