Quantower Connection Instructions

Updated today

Quantower is now supported on the New Topstep Dashboard and connects using your TopstepX credentials. While Quantower doesn’t appear as a platform option in the Dashboard, you can still connect by selecting TopstepX as your platform. This connects your account to ProjectX data, which powers the Quantower connection.

Using TopstepX with Quantower gives you access to 10:1 Micro to Mini contract conversions and a direct data feed from the CME for faster, cleaner market data. Quantower via TopstepX is currently available for the Trading Combine and Express Funded Account only.

Installation and Connection Instructions (Quantower/TopstepX)

Important Tips Before Getting Started

  • If you haven’t signed into the TopstepX Dashboard before launching Quantower, you may see a “Login Blocked” error. Be sure to first log into TopstepX first and sign any required platform and data agreements. After that, you’ll be able to connect to Quantower.

  • You don’t need API access to ProjectX to connect TopstepX with Quantower. Simply log in using your TopstepX credentials to establish the connection.

  • During installation, you may receive a pop-up to install .Net Framework. Please allow access to this installation in order for your platform to install properly. .Net Framework installations should be available in your Windows Updates or by conducting a web search for the specific .Net Framework the platform is requesting to be installed. If your computer is up to date, your platform should install without this pop-up message.
