This message is displayed if you try running multiple Quantowers in parallel on the same computer or you have closed Quantower a few seconds ago and it did not finish closing yet. In 20 seconds or sooner Quantower can be started again.

This error occurs due to the removal of the file by the Avast antivirus or AVG antivirus, which is necessary for the correct work of the platform.
As a solution, we recommend you remove Avast or AVG antiviruses (completely) and reinstall the platform.
Sometimes Kaspersky deletes our files.
This error usually occurs when a user attempts to install the platform with a version not compatible with their PC's system type. For instance, installing a 64-bit version on a 32-bit system. It's important to check your PC's settings to determine the system type and download the corresponding version from the Quantower website.
This error can occur for several reasons:
There is no internet connection or a weak connection. Please check that the connection is stable with your browser.

Currently, there is an issue with the independent movement of drawings (trendlines, rectangles, etc.) on non-time-based chart types such as Tick, Range bars, Volume bars, and Renko.
To prevent changes in drawings, we recommend placing the endpoint of the drawing before the current (forming) bar. Additionally, we suggest enabling the 'Right Ray' option in the settings of the respective drawing.
Sometimes users may encounter the problem of incorrect display of icons of various functions inside the application. For example, the picture below is such a situation.

Sometimes, users face the problem of finding a company's stock by its exact ticker on a DxFeed data provider. For example, users can not find F (Ford company), META (ex-Facebook) etc.
The problem is related to the fact that the search for stocks is performed by the description (name) of the company, especially for tickers with a small number of symbols (1-2 letters).
There are two ways to move the main toolbar to another monitor:

This message appears when there's a delay in data within a specific time interval. The cause may stem from a slow Internet connection or issues on the data provider's end.
Whether the data delay occurs on a Rithmic server, CQG, Binance, or during transmission to the client, we make efforts to identify instances where server-side timestamps start to lag.
Additionally, you have the option to mitigate data load by closing panels, disabling volume tools, or closing unnecessary tabs in your browser (if it's active while using the platform).
If the Issue Persists After Initial Driver Installation: Sometimes, the driver may not install correctly on the first attempt. Please reinstall the driver.
Restart the Platform: Once the driver is successfully installed, restart the platform, and the issue should be resolved.
If the problem continues, please contact our support team via live chat on our website.
Users may sometimes experience chart flickering on their PCs while using the platform. This issue is often related to the graphics card and its use in rendering the interface.
We recommend updating your graphics card drivers.
If there are no driver updates available for your card, the platform offers a 'Use Software Render Mode' setting. This disables the use of the graphics card and switches to software rendering, which may resolve the flickering.
Regularly check for Windows updates and driver updates. If the issue resolves after updates, you may disable 'Use Software Render Mode' for better platform performance.
