Installation

System requirements and 3 simple steps to successfully install the platform

Last updated 21 days ago


After downloading the from the official website, you can begin the installation process. It's important to understand the differences between the Quantower "installation process" and the default Windows® install process that most users are familiar with.

Quantower does not copy its files to the system folders (AppData or Program Files) of the OS, nor does write changes to the system registry

What does it mean? The program doesn't violate the integrity of the OS, and in case of removal, it will not leave any prints of its presence on your computer. Quantower’s "installer" literally extracts files to the user-specified folder.

With this approach, you can save the Quantower on a removable drive and use it as a portable application on any other computer. This is especially useful when you need to transfer Quantower along with all its settings to a different PC. Copy the Quantower folder and paste it where you want it.

PC requirements

  • Windows 10, 11

  • Available disk space — 1 GB (depends on the volume of loaded history)

  • The hardware requirements for Quantower depend upon what you are doing with it. Most desktop systems can run Quantower without any difficulty.

  • The following hardware specifications are very much recommended for a fast system: 16 GB RAM, a minimum of 4-core CPU, and an SSD (solid-state drive).

Installation steps

  1. Select the folder to extract application files (preferably the Downloads folder or a secondary drive, not the System drive). Some features may not work correctly if you install the platform on the C: system drive due to administrative rules and restrictions.


DxFeed Simulated provides market data for a limited number of symbols with a 24-hour data delay. This type of connection is intended solely for getting acquainted with the platform's functionality.

If you choose Binance, the platform will connect in Info mode without the ability to execute trades. This connection type is meant for exploring the platform's features or for viewing and analyzing real-time cryptocurrency charts.

Within a minute, a window will appear with the platform's terms of use, which you should review and accept for further platform usage.

Please note, that you may need to allow an in-going and outgoing connection for Starter.exe file (the main executable of Quantower platform) in your Firewall settings

Uninstalling

If you need to uninstall the application, simply delete the folder containing all application files. You can also keep your personal settings (connection information & workspaces) by copying the "Settings" folder (located directly in the Quantower folder) before deleting the application. Later, you can paste this "Settings" folder into any other Quantower folder.

In most cases, the platform will ask to update .NET to the latest version from the Microsoft official website.

Microsoft has officially stopped supporting Windows 8 and Windows 7. Therefore, the platform may not start or may work incorrectly. We recommend using Windows 10 or 11.

and launch the Quantower.exe file

Once an extraction process is finished the platform will start automatically. A window will appear where you can choose which connection to enable by default with the default .

To receive real-time data or access a larger number of symbols from the DxFeed provider, it is necessary to on their official website.

To execute trading operations on the Binance exchange, you need to switch to Trading mode and paste your API keys. Learn more about .

You may also refer to to backup your settings in one file and restore them later.
