ℹ️
Two Versions

PTR-Tracker ships as a standalone Desktop App (runs on its own β€” no Quantower needed) and as a Quantower Plugin. The Quantower Version row above applies to the plugin only. NinjaTrader support is coming soon.

πŸš€ Installation

PTR-Tracker comes in two versions and your license works with either one β€” you only need to install one, not both. The Desktop App runs on its own; the Quantower Plugin runs inside Quantower. Pick whichever you prefer.

πŸ‘‰
Choose One β€” Not Both

The Desktop App and the Quantower Plugin are two ways to run the same product. Your license activates on either one, so just install the version you like and skip the other.

πŸ’» Method A β€” Desktop App (Standalone)

⬇️
Download the Desktop App

Get the standalone Windows installer β€” no Quantower required. This is the same download that's in your setup email.

πŸ“₯ DOWNLOAD DESKTOP APP (.EXE)
1

Download the Installer

After purchase, use the download button above (or the link in your setup email) to get PTR-Tracker Setup.exe.

2

Run the Installer

Double-click the .exe. If Windows SmartScreen appears, click More info β†’ Run anyway β€” the installer is safe, it's just not code-signed yet.

3

Launch PTR-Tracker

Open the app from your Start menu or the desktop shortcut the installer creates. No Quantower required.

4

Activate

Enter your license key on first launch (see License Activation) and you're in.

🧩 Method B β€” Quantower Plugin

1

Download the Plugin

After purchase, check your email for the download link. Download the PnLCalendar plugin (ZIP/DLL).

2

Locate Your Quantower Plugins Folder

Navigate to:

C:\Quantower\Settings\Scripts\plug-ins\
3

Copy the Plugin Folder

Extract and paste the PnLCalendar folder into the plug-ins folder.

4

Restart Quantower

Close and reopen Quantower. The PTR-Tracker panel will appear in your available panels list.

5

Open the Panel

Go to View β†’ Panels β†’ PnL Calendar or search "PnL" in the panel search bar.

πŸ’‘
Pro Tip

Pin the panel to your workspace layout so it opens automatically every time you launch Quantower.

πŸ”‘ License Activation

1

Find Your License Key

Your key was emailed after purchase. It looks like:

XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
2

Open Activation Prompt

First launch of PTR-Tracker shows the activation screen automatically.

3

Enter Your Key

Paste your license key and click Activate. The plugin validates against Cloudflare D1 in real time.

4

Done

Full access unlocks immediately. Your key is now bound to this machine (up to 2 activations per license).

⚠️
Machine Limit

Each license activates on up to 2 computers. To transfer to a new machine, contact support@sniperflow.ai for a machine reset.

⚑ Quick Start

1. Connect Your Broker

Make sure your Quantower broker connection (Rithmic, Tradovate, etc.) is active and authenticated before opening PTR-Tracker.

2. Add Your First Account

In the Portfolio tab, click + Add Account. Enter your account name, prop firm, account size, and profit split. Select the matching Quantower connection.

3. Start Trading

PTR-Tracker automatically pulls P&L from your live connection. The calendar populates in real time as you trade.

πŸ’‘
Calendar Color Logic

Green cells = profit days. Red cells = loss days. Intensity scales with the dollar amount. Weekly totals show in the rightmost purple column.

πŸ“Š P&L Calendar

PTR-Tracker desktop β€” full P&L Calendar dashboard

The main panel. Shows your full trading month at a glance with color-coded daily P&L, week totals, and five key stats at the bottom.

πŸ’Ό Portfolio Manager

PTR-Tracker Account Portfolio dashboard

Manage all your prop accounts from one table. Tap any row to drill into account-level detail.

  • Total Accounts β€” count of all tracked accounts
  • Total Capital β€” combined account balances
  • Total Drawdown β€” aggregate drawdown across all accounts
  • Today's Profits β€” live intraday P&L
  • Est. Payout β€” estimated payout based on profit split
  • Q Days β€” qualifying days progress toward payout eligibility
  • LOCK button β€” instantly lock an account from trading

πŸͺž Trade Copier

PTR-Tracker Trade Copier panel

Mirror your trades across multiple prop-firm accounts in real time. Group a leader account with one or more followers on the same machine, scale position size by a quantity multiplier, and stay synced from entry through exit.

How It Works

  • Leader account β€” the account you actively trade. Every fill is broadcast to its followers.
  • Follower accounts β€” automatically replicate the leader's entries, exits, and bracket orders.
  • Quantity multiplier β€” scale each follower up or down (1Γ—, 2Γ—, 0.5Γ—) to match its account size.
  • Group-based β€” build multiple leader/follower groups and enable them independently.
πŸ”—
Same-Machine Sync

The copier mirrors accounts connected within the same Quantower instance in real time. Keep all copied accounts logged in and connected for uninterrupted syncing.

πŸ“ˆ Analytics & Stats

PTR-Tracker Analytics and Trading Stats

Access via the Stats button in the portfolio header. Shows equity curve, win rate, profit factor, consistency score, and streak data.

MetricDescription
Win Rate% of profitable trading days
Profit FactorGross profit Γ· gross loss
ConsistencyMax single day as % of total β€” lower is better for prop firms
Avg Win / LossAverage profit vs average loss per day
Max Win StreakLongest consecutive green days

πŸ““ Trading Journal

PTR-Tracker 2-Week Trading Journal

Scalper-optimized daily summary journal β€” no individual trade logging required. Rate your day, note conditions, attach chart screenshots.

Entry Fields

  • Instrument β€” NQ, ES, MNQ, etc.
  • Session β€” New York, London, Asian
  • Market Bias β€” Bullish, Bearish, Neutral
  • News Tier β€” 1, 2, 3 impact level
  • Market Phase β€” Trending, Choppy, Ranging
  • Emotion β€” Disciplined, Fearful, Overconfident, etc.
  • Grade β€” A/B/C/D/F for your setups and execution
  • Notes β€” free text
  • Chart Screenshot β€” drag & drop or paste from clipboard
πŸ’‘
Journaling Habit

Even a 30-second entry per day builds a data set that reveals your real edge over time. Grade B days often show your most repeatable setups.

πŸ”’ Risk Lockout

PTR-Tracker Risk Lockout panel

Set hard limits that lock your account when hit. Prevents revenge trading and protects funded account rules.

Lock Triggers

  • Daily Profit Target β€” lock when you hit your goal (prevents overtrading a good day)
  • Daily Loss Limit β€” lock when drawdown reaches threshold
  • Balance Target β€” lock when account reaches a specific balance
  • Manual Lock β€” instant lock with duration selector (2hr / 4hr / Done for Day)
⚠️
Honor the Lock

The lockout is a visual and notification system. For full discipline enforcement, close Quantower or step away when locked.

πŸ† Payout Milestones

PTR-Tracker Payout Milestones tiers

Gamified tier system tracking your lifetime payout journey. Rise from Funded & Dangerous through Money Maker to Payout King.

  • YTD Expenses vs Payouts bar chart
  • Spending by Prop Firm breakdown
  • True Net P&L = Total Payouts βˆ’ Total Expenses

🧭 Market Sentiment

PTR-Tracker Market Sentiment pre-trade briefing

Read the room before you click. The Sentiment panel is your pre-trade briefing β€” aggregated macro bias, VIX pulse, dollar-index (DXY) context, upcoming economic events, and session context rolled into one view so you know what side the market wants before the open.

SignalWhat It Tells You
Macro BiasAggregated directional lean across the major index futures
VIX PulseVolatility regime β€” calm, elevated, or risk-off
DXY ContextDollar-index strength and its pressure on risk assets
Event RiskHigh-impact economic events on today's calendar

πŸ“‘ Pulse Indicator

PTR-Tracker Pulse Indicator β€” per-instrument momentum gauges

Toggle from Briefing to Pulse for a live momentum read on every instrument. Each gauge shows the directional bias of that symbol’s move versus the prior close β€” green leans long, red leans short, and the needle scales with how strong today’s move is. It spans the index and commodity futures plus the top-weighted NASDAQ names, so you can see where momentum actually sits before you take a trade. This is momentum, not broker positioning.

πŸ’‘
Pre-Market Routine

Check the Sentiment briefing before the session opens. It frames the day's bias so you're trading with context, not guessing.

πŸ“Ά PTR-SNIPER β€” Signal Panel

PTR-SNIPER requires an active PTR-Tracker license. It adds a proprietary signal engine panel that fires NQ/MNQ entry alerts across 6 classified setup grades (A through F), ranked by conviction level.

SetupConviction Level
A-SETUPHighest β€” primary signal
B-SETUPHigh β€” strong secondary signal
C-SETUPModerate β€” confirmed entry
D-SETUPModerate β€” filtered entry
E-SETUPLower β€” conditional only
F-SETUPSpeculative β€” smallest size
πŸ”’
Proprietary Logic

The specific conditions and parameters behind each setup are proprietary to SniperFlow.ai and not disclosed. The engine is continuously refined with each version update.

Each setup displays BUY, SELL, WATCH, or inactive state. The real-time Signal Log records all timestamped entry and exit events with price levels.

πŸ“‘ Market Radar

The Market Radar generates a composite edge score from 0–100 using 4 independent proprietary factors. All factors must reach sufficient alignment before the engine considers an entry valid.

FactorOutput
Factor 1Scored 0–100 Β· weighted internally
Factor 2Scored 0–100 Β· weighted internally
Factor 3Scored 0–100 Β· weighted internally
Factor 4Scored 0–100 Β· weighted internally
πŸ”’
Proprietary Scoring Model

The specific inputs, weighting, and thresholds of the Market Radar scoring model are proprietary and not disclosed. Score interpretation is handled automatically by the engine.

πŸ”„ Auto Entries

When Market Radar score exceeds your minimum threshold, the engine fires entries automatically with pre-set stop loss and take profit.

  • Min Score β€” minimum radar score to trigger (default: 75)
  • Max Size β€” max contracts per entry
  • Active Setups β€” choose which setups fire auto entries
  • Session Gate β€” restrict entries to NY session hours
⚠️
Test Mode First

Always run in Test Mode (paper trading) before enabling live auto entries. Verify signal logic matches your strategy.

πŸ”” Adaptive Trailing Stop

The trailing stop engine adjusts automatically based on internally detected market conditions. The trail distance is not fixed β€” it expands or contracts based on the engine's proprietary regime classification.

  • Regime Display β€” shows the engine's current market state classification
  • Trail Distance β€” determined automatically; displayed in points
  • Locked Profit β€” shows minimum guaranteed P&L on the open position
πŸ”’
Proprietary Logic

The regime detection model and trail calculation methodology are proprietary and not disclosed.

πŸ“° News Filter

Automatically blocks entries during high-impact economic events. Pulls from a live economic calendar feed.

Impact LevelBlackout Window
πŸ”΄ HIGHPre-event blackout window β€” configurable
🟑 MEDIUMPre-event blackout window β€” configurable
πŸ”΅ LOWPre-event blackout window β€” configurable

Auto-Block can be toggled on/off. Passed events show a green PASSED βœ“ status.

πŸ›‘οΈ Prop Safe

The Prop Safe gate monitors all tracked accounts in real time. If any account approaches its daily loss limit, the engine halts new entries for that account.

StatusMeaning
🟒 CLEARAccount within safe parameters β€” engine active
🟑 CAUTIONDaily loss >70% used β€” engine throttled
πŸ”΄ HALTEDLimit breached β€” engine stopped for this account
