Quantower

Install on Quantower

quantedOptions Profile on your Quantower charts. About ten minutes.

Before you start

Quantower is portable: find its root folder — the one that contains Settings and TradingPlatform, usually C:\Quantower or wherever you unzipped it. The same files work in Optimus Flow and AMP-branded Quantower. The free edition allows two indicators per chart; this plugin takes one slot.

Install

Sign in at your Orderflow Plugin page and download quantedoptions_profile_quantower.zip. The page lists the platforms on your plan and shows your API key.
Unzip it.
Inside: QuantedOptions.Quantower.dll, QuantedOptions.Core.dll and a licence file. Both DLLs are installed.
Close Quantower.
Open <Quantower root>\Settings\Scripts\Indicators\.
Create a folder named quantedOptions there and copy both DLLs into it.
You end up with …\Indicators\quantedOptions\QuantedOptions.Quantower.dll and QuantedOptions.Core.dll next to it — their own subfolder, not loose in Indicators.
Start Quantower and open a chart for ES, MES, NQ, MNQ, RTY, M2K, YM, MYM, GC or MGC.
Click the Indicators button on the chart, search for quantedOptions Profile, add it.
Open the indicator settings, group Connection, fill in the settings below and apply.

Connection settings

Same on every platform; only the labels differ a little.

Setting	Enter
`API base URL ('mock' = demo data, no key needed)`	`https://www.quantedoptions.com/api`
`API key (qo_live_...)`	your `qo_live_…` key
`Options underlying (AUTO = from the chart symbol)`	`AUTO — from the chart symbol`
`Price conversion to this chart (AUTO = by instrument)`	`AUTO — from the chart symbol`
`Book (today's / nearest expiry · all expiries)`	`Today's / nearest expiry (0DTE; the panel says which)`

The ladder and panel appear within a few seconds. The key is remembered on this machine.

Every other setting is one line each on Settings explained.

How to tell it works

A ladder of bars on the right of the chart, one per strike, and a small panel in the bottom-left corner. The panel's first line names the chart and the source — ES · from SPX 0DTE 08-19 — then the prices: SPX 6480.25 → ES 6512.00.

The dot in the panel header: green = fresh, amber = a few minutes old, red = stale. Outside market hours the last data is held and the dot stays green.

Update to a new version

Close Quantower, replace both DLLs in the quantedOptions folder, start Quantower again.

If it doesn't work

What you see	What to do
The indicator is not listed	Both DLLs must sit inside `Settings\Scripts\Indicators\quantedOptions\` — their own subfolder, not loose in `Indicators`. Then restart Quantower.
Where the log is	`<Quantower root>\Logs` — lines start with `qO Profile`.
The panel or label reports HTTP 401 or 403	Check the key: copy it again from your plugin page, no spaces at either end. A 403 also happens with an out-of-date plugin file — download the current one.
Nothing draws and there is no error	Check the URL. It must be exactly `https://www.quantedoptions.com/api`. Without `www` the request is redirected and the plugin does not follow redirects.
Bars draw at the wrong prices	The chart has no live last price yet (a fresh chart with no ticks, or a symbol the plugin does not recognise). Wait for a tick, or set the underlying by hand.
The panel says rate limited	You have more charts open than the key allows across all machines. Close a few, or wait a minute.

Still stuck: send a screenshot and the log lines starting qO Profile.
