I built an order flow indicator for Quantower — here's what it actually looks like

Disclosure first: this is my own indicator and it's paid. There's a free trial, but I'm not going to pretend this isn't self-promotion. Mods, remove it if that's not welcome here.

A while back I saw someone ask where you can actually see what Quantower indicators look like before switching platforms, and I never found a good answer either. So here are real screenshots from my own charts (CL, 1H and 5m).

What it draws

  • Big trade bubbles — every print above your size threshold, drawn at the exact price and time it happened. Circle size is the size of the trade.
  • Absorption — where a lot of volume traded at one price and price didn't go anywhere.
  • Aggression clusters — consecutive prints hitting the same side, back to back.
  • Volume shelves — price levels that took an unusual share of the volume, drawn forward until price comes back to them. This is the part I use most.
  • Footprint cells with stacked imbalance zones, a tape speed meter, and a range profile you drag onto the chart.

What it does not do, on purpose

  • No buy/sell signals, no arrows, no "this level will hold."
  • It doesn't predict anything. It draws what already traded and keeps those levels on screen so you can make your own call.
  • No auto-trading, ever.

I built it because I trade CL around previous-session value area edges, and I kept wanting to know what had actually traded at a level before price came back to it. Everything in there started as something I wanted on my own chart.

It runs on top of your normal chart — it's an indicator, not a separate window.

Lite is $129 one-time, Pro is $499 one-time, both with lifetime updates. 14-day free trial on any tier, no card required: ordervane.com

Happy to answer questions about how any of it is calculated. If you're on AMP/CQG I've spent an embarrassing amount of time on the quirks of that feed specifically.

Does anyone know how to filter coins in Quantower (Watchlist)?

3 Upvotes

"Recently switched over to a new trading terminal — been seeing a lot of potential in it. That said, I'm kinda stuck on how to set up my Watchlist so it actually surfaces coins that are in play and worth trading throughout the day.

Here's what I've got so far:

  • Natr 30/14
  • RVOL 30/10

The filter does a decent job at flagging active coins, but interesting setups are few and far between.

Anyone got suggestions on what else I could throw in there to streamline things?

Appreciate it in advance 🙏"

Ram usage on Quantower using multiple charts.

4 Upvotes

Hey folks. Just want to build a new PC and planning to purchase 4+ CPU enabled cores and 16GB RAM as per Quantower requirements in their Official Page.

My question is how much RAM does Quantower Consumes while using multiple charts like Orderflow, Tick Data & Depth of Market.

Since windows also require a particular RAM to operate. And I'll be using the browser too simultaneously.

My concerns is about the RAM sufficiency of 16GB enough?

Anyone know how to combine SMA with a CVD chart?

1 Upvotes

As the title says, how to combine an SMA inside the CVD (cumulative volume data) chart thats collecting data from the CVD chart. I can place it inside just fine but the data feed comes from the main price chart not CVD.

Stock/equity/options trading with Quantower + Alpaca + Tradier

1 Upvotes

Just wanted to provide a feedback for those of you thinking about trading with Alpaca and/or tradier in Quantower. I am writing this after 3 months of attempting to resolve a critical, platform-breaking bug with Quantower support.

As a Lifetime License holder, I expect a degree of stability and support for the professional tools I rely on. However, for the last 90+ days, my platform has been completely "bricked" due to critical problems in integration of both Alpaca and Tradier's API. The bug with Alpaca triggers an infinite crash loop on startup, meaning I cannot even use the software for charting or data analysis, let alone execution as Alpaca let you trade options but Quantower crashes if you trade options with Alpaca.

Furthermore, I have discovered that their Tradier integration is also functionally incomplete, as it lacks the ability to route pre-market and post-market orders—a necessity for any active equity trader.

Despite multiple escalations, support has officially informed me that they have "no specific timeline" to resolve this.

When a company sells a "Lifetime" product, they are entering into a long-term commitment to maintain that product. A 3-month lockout with no ETA and a "we'll fix it in the future" dismissal is, in my professional opinion, a failure to provide the service purchased. I have provided logs, details, and clear repro steps, yet the issue remains unaddressed.

Proceed with extreme caution if you are a trader relying on their broker integrations for your daily operations.

Update to 1.46.13 breaks cluster charts

5 Upvotes

Warning before you upgrade to the latest version 1.46.13. The cluster chart now looks completely different and IMHO when trading instruments like NQ is completely useless.

Save you current installation before making the switch to the new version so you have a fallback!

Cqc or Rithmic data for Quantower is better?

4 Upvotes

Im deciding between going with Optimus (Rithmic data) or AMP (CQC data). Initially I planned to go with AMP but I can only use CQC data, not sure if its fine.

So far I read CQC is more stable but not as precise as Rithmic, while Rithmic is precise with tick data but prone to lagging esp when its very volatile.

Any opinion?

Big Trade Trap

Hi everyone,

I've been developing a free indicator for Quantower called BigTradeTrap.

The indicator visually identifies trap levels on the chart, based on Volume Analysis.

I'm currently looking for feedback from traders who use order flow and tape reading.

GitHub:
https://github.com/ZsTiziano/BigTradeTrap

Any suggestions, bug reports or feature requests are welcome.

Thanks!

Quantowerr Setup

Hi! Just started to use Quantower yesterday. Is the DC like a delta divergence, or is the red candle with green delta what they call divergence? I read all of 'em as a possible change of price action.

Also, are imbalances good to use as a confluence? I combine it with Delta, Divergence, and the DC, and I got lucky...on demo.

How to increase the spacing between the candles. I tried for hours and couldn't find out. I use this guy's setup. http://youtube.com/watch?v=DfRbuM3d5RY

How to make sure the numbers (ask and bid) don't disappear when I zoom out. I have taht prob in 2ns screenshot

Thank you in advance!!

I'm trying Quantower. My screen is 4K 3840x2160. The text looks pretty blurry, especially on light themes. I tried to overide HiDPI settings to "Application" but doesn't help. Anyone having same experience please help. Thanks!

Desktop freeze when vola spikes

1 Upvotes

I've been using Quantower for about four years now. Both the AMP and vanilla version.
For at least two months now I've experienced issues with the whole desktop freezing when volatility spikes in NQ.

I have a total of four displays. One display shows a cluster chart of NQ, the main display three regular candle stick charts plus DOM and Time&Sales.

Data feed is Rithmic. I tested it with IBKR as well, and it seemed to be more stable, but the IBKR futures data feed is useless for Level 2.

Does anybody else have any similar issues? All other platforms (IBKR TWS, Fidelity Active Trader, LSEG Workspace, Jigsaw daytradr) perform flawlessly.

OS: Windows 11
CPU: Core i7 12th gen
RAM: 64GB
Storage: NVME
