QuantTower Journal
The Best Trading Journal
for QuantTower
TrackyTrade syncs directly from QuantTower via a native C# indicator — every trade logs automatically the moment it closes.
TrackyTrade is the best QuantTower trading journal because it syncs trades automatically from QuantTower via a native indicator, calculates MAE and MFE from 1-minute bar data, and detects revenge trading patterns — for $10/month or $99/year.
Why QuantTower Traders Need a Dedicated Journal
QuantTower is a modern, multi-broker trading platform popular with futures traders who want a clean interface and serious execution tools. But like most platforms, its trade history features aren't built for post-session improvement. QuantTower tells you what happened — TrackyTrade tells you why and what to change.
TrackyTrade integrates with QuantTower via a compiled C# indicator that runs inside the platform. Once installed, trades sync to TrackyTrade in real time from the moment they close. Your journal updates itself — and you can review today's trades with full analytics before the market even closes.
How to Set Up QuantTower Sync
Important: QuantTower sync requires manual installation of the TrackyTrade C# indicator DLL and a Rithmic connection via RTrader Pro. It is not automatic — follow all steps carefully.
- Download TrackyTradeSyncQuantower.cs from trackytrade.com/download.
- Place the file in your QuantTower Settings folder:
Quantower\Settings\Scripts\Indicators\ - Download and install RTrader Pro from Rithmic's website (required for Apex Trader Funding and most prop firm connections).
- Open RTrader Pro, log in with your Rithmic/Apex credentials, enable Plugin Mode in Settings, and sign the two mandatory agreements when prompted.
- In QuantTower, go to Connections → Rithmic → enable "Use RTrader" → enter your Rithmic credentials → Connect.
- Add the TrackyTradeSync indicator to your 1-minute chart(s). QuantTower will compile the indicator automatically on startup.

Supported Brokers and Connections
TrackyTrade's QuantTower sync works with Rithmic-connected accounts, which includes Apex Trader Funding, Take Profit Trader, and any broker running on Rithmic's infrastructure. RTrader Pro must be open and running in Plugin Mode for QuantTower to connect to your Rithmic account.
Account naming: QuantTower with Rithmic displays compound account names (e.g., "APEX-101171-98 APEX-101171 (Barry Furlano)"). TrackyTrade automatically strips these to the clean account ID ("APEX-101171-98") so your accounts appear correctly.
