QMA vs. a typical charting platform — feature comparison
Charting platforms are built around charts, drawing tools, custom indicators and data across many asset classes. QMA does not replace that layer — it covers a different one: a five-pillar score, data layers on insiders and funds, and backtests. Many people use both side by side.
The comparison describes a typical tool of this category, not a specific product. Individual products differ and features change.
| Capability | QMA | Typical tool Charting platform |
|---|---|---|
| Advanced charting, drawing tools and custom indicators | QMA does not offer | yes |
| Real-time data from direct exchange feeds | QMA does not offer | partly / varies by product |
| Crypto, forex and futures | QMA does not offer | yes |
| Fused 5-pillar score (A++ to F) | yes | partly / varies by product |
| Insider trades and trades by members of Congress | yes | partly / varies by product |
| Reported fund positions (13F, delayed up to 45 days) | yes | partly / varies by product |
| Fundamental metrics and ratios | yes | partly / varies by product |
| Strategy backtests showing t-stat and trade count (n) | yes | partly / varies by product |
| Czech-language interface | yes | partly / varies by product |
When QMA makes sense
QMA makes sense as a complement if, next to the chart, you want to see how a stock rates across five pillars and what insiders and funds are doing.
- A fused A++ to F score instead of hand-assembling indicators
- Data layers on insiders, Congress and reported fund positions
- Strategy backtests showing t-stat and n
- A trading journal and XTB import
When this type of tool makes sense
A charting platform makes sense if your focus is technical analysis, drawing and data across multiple asset classes.
- Advanced charts, drawing tools and custom indicators
- A large community of shared ideas and scripts
- Coverage of many asset classes (stocks, crypto, forex, futures)
What QMA is not
- QMA covers US equities; it does not cover crypto, forex or futures.
- It works with end-of-day and delayed data — it is not a terminal with direct real-time exchange feeds.
- It is an analytical and educational tool: it gives no investment advice and is not a trading platform.
