Required Accounts & Services
To get started with QuantIQ, you'll need to set up these essential accounts and services:
1️⃣ Apex Account (via Tradovate)
Your trading capital. Apex provides funded and evaluation accounts that let you trade using their money — not yours.
Recommended Account: $50K Tradovate Account
- • Best balance of profit target, drawdown cushion, and scale potential
- • Ideal for consistent day traders and automation users
- • Important: Always check for discount codes — Apex runs sales up to 80% off their evaluations almost every week
- • Choose Tradovate as your platform (not Rithmic) for full QuantIQ compatibility
2️⃣ TradersPost — Starter Plan or Higher
Your automation bridge. TradersPost connects the QuantIQ bot to your broker so trades execute automatically.
Why you need it:
It handles the order routing, position sizing, and trade management directly from QuantIQ's signals.
Recommended Plan: Starter
Includes automated webhooks and trade execution features. TradersPost works seamlessly with both Apex and Tradovate accounts.
3️⃣ TradingView — Essentials Plan or Higher
Your charting and signal engine. TradingView is where QuantIQ's proprietary strategy runs and generates the trade alerts.
Why you need it:
It's the visual platform that powers QuantIQ's algorithmic entries and exits.
Recommended Plan: Essentials
This plan unlocks webhook alerts, which are required for automated trading. Higher tiers (Pro+ / Premium) are optional if you want multiple charts or more indicators, but Essentials is all you need to run QuantIQ.
4️⃣ TradeSyncer — Basic Plan or Higher
Your trade copier. TradeSyncer automatically mirrors QuantIQ trades across multiple accounts in real time.
Why you need it:
It allows you to scale across multiple funded or personal accounts without extra work.
Recommended Plan:
- • Basic+ for QuantIQ Professional members
- • Pro for QuantIQ Enterprise members
This ensures reliable syncing, trade timing accuracy, and position scaling across every connected account.
