Comparison
TradersWeek vs Quantower
Both products have a permanent free plan, and they draw the line in almost opposite places — which makes the free tiers, not the paid ones, the useful comparison. Quantower gives away the trading surface: DOM Trader, Time & Sales, chart and mouse trading, one connection and 40+ indicators, on Windows. source TradersWeek gives away the analysis surface: 123 indicators, 82 drawing tools, automatic Elliott labeling and server-side paper trading, in a browser, without registration — and keeps every order-flow layer, the DOM panel included, in Premium at $120 per month. Quantower reaches futures, stocks, options and CFDs through 60+ connections; source TradersWeek charts Binance spot, US stocks as Binance perpetual contracts, and bridged forex, metals and indices, and charges nothing for data because none of it is licensed. All Quantower facts below were checked against its own pages on 2026-08-11.
Which one fits
Choose Quantower if
You want a working DOM and Time & Sales without paying. source You trade futures, stocks, options or CFDs and need a specific broker connection. source You want historical depth as a picture — DOM Surface. source You write your own tools in C#. source You are on Windows and that is not a constraint for you.
Choose TradersWeek if
Your machine is not Windows, or you would rather not install anything. Your market is crypto or major FX. You want the structural methods — wave counts, Smart Money, Wyckoff, Ichimoku, Gann — on the same chart as the tape. You want a large indicator library in a tier that costs nothing and does not expire.
What each free plan actually contains
Two free plans of similar generosity aimed at different halves of the job. Read the table by asking which half you need first, because each product withholds what the other gives away.
| In the free plan | Quantower | TradersWeek |
|---|---|---|
| Indicators on one chart | 2, plus one overlay source | 2 |
| Indicator library | 40+ source | 123 indicators, 82 drawing tools, 85 candle patterns |
| Depth of market | DOM Trader included source | Not included. The DOM panel is part of Premium order flow |
| Time & Sales | Included source | Not included. The trade tape arrives with Premium |
| Footprint | Cluster charts are not among the listed free-plan features source | Not included. Order flow is Premium |
| Automatic Elliott | Manual drawing tools; automatic labeling not stated. source | Included: 24 wave patterns, counts scored against the rules, labels editable |
| Order entry | Chart and mouse trading source | Paper account only: server-side, $10,000 balance, leverage to 200x |

The honest summary of this table: for free order flow, Quantower is the answer. For a free chart with a large library and automatic wave counts on a machine that is not running Windows, it is the other way round.

Questions people actually ask
Which free plan is better for order flow?
The Quantower one. Its free tier includes DOM Trader, Time & Sales, chart and mouse trading, one active connection and 40+ indicators. The TradersWeek free tier is the chart itself — 123 indicators, 82 drawing tools, automatic Elliott labeling and paper trading — with every order-flow layer, the DOM panel included, behind Premium. If the requirement is free order flow, Quantower answers it and TradersWeek does not.
How many indicators does each free plan allow on one chart?
Two, on both. Quantower free allows 2 indicators per chart and one overlay; TradersWeek free allows 2. The difference is the library behind that limit — 40+ against 123 — and what the paid step raises it to: 10 on Pro and 20 on Premium here.
Can I run Quantower on a Mac?
Its system requirements list Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit; a browser build, macOS and native mobile apps are not listed there, checked 2026-08-11. TradersWeek runs in any modern browser and installs as a PWA, so the operating system is not part of the decision. This is the one axis where the comparison is decided before any feature is discussed.
What does Quantower cost once you pay?
All-in-One is $70 per month, with 10% off on three months, 20% on six and 30% on a year — $189, $336 and $588 for those terms. A 7-day trial opens every feature. A current lifetime price is not shown on its pricing page, so figures circulating for one are not used here. TradersWeek is Pro at $30 and Premium at $120 per month, with order flow in Premium.
Does either of them label Elliott waves automatically?
Quantower documents manual Elliott Wave drawing tools; automatic labeling is not stated on its documentation pages. TradersWeek fits 24 wave patterns automatically, scores every count against the Elliott rules and leaves the labels editable — in the free tier rather than a paid one.
Which one connects to more markets?
Quantower: CFDs, futures, options, stocks and crypto through 60+ broker, exchange and data connections, with third-party market-data fees outside the subscription. TradersWeek charts Binance spot, US stocks and ETFs as Binance perpetual contracts, and bridged forex, metals and indices, with no connection to choose and no data fee. Fewer markets and one bill, against many markets and an invoice per feed.
