Next version of CQGTrader will provide real time margin value updates as well as purchasing power available on the account. CQG calulates margins based on current state of the market and current state of the account portfolio according to the parameters set by an FCM.

CQG allows FCMs to set real time margining risk limits which cover both futures and options on futures.

Have you looked at FCMs that support CQG for trading? There are few that offer global market coverage and have good presense in Asia. http://cqg.com/Electronic-Trading/Trade-with-FCM-Partners.aspx

CQG can do it. Or if you are into highly statistical correlation analysys you can try CQG + MatLab.

These replies are inaccurate and comparisons don't make sense. CQG does not have "one price fits all" concept, you pay for the functionality you need. Prices are close between different countries, they are adjusted for the currency rates. The advanced charting package with no trading starts...

You have two options: you can convert your Easy language system into CQG Trade System or write your system in VBA/Excel and use CQG API to get market data and take the orders. First option is a lot closer to what you have in mind - you will be able to create your system in CQG, backtest it...

Take a look at CQG Partners page: http://cqg.com/Products/CQG-API/API-Partners.aspx . There are few companies on that list that have products to allow you to automate CQG Trade Systems. You need to decide which one you want to do business with, but they all have been approved by CQG as partners.

I assume you connected to CQG over the internet. Have you asked this question of latency of your Internet provider? CQG has data servers that send data into Internet in London, how long it takes for you to receive it depends almost exclusevely on your Internet connection speed and quality.

Hi George, please see below:

CQGTrader supports the "Parked" orders functionality where you can prepare several orders and then activate them one at a time or as a group to go to the exchange.

Sure, you can trade through any of the FCMs that are offerring CQG trade routing. I know for a fact Velocity is one of them, not sure about Global. Will be worth it to call them to find out. All other FCM partners of CQG are here: http://cqg.com/Electronic-Trading/Trade-with-FCM-Partners.aspx...

CQG Spreader supports Stop and Stop Limit orders on the spreads (and remember, it is server based, so your stop will be executed when the market conditions are right without exchange to user latency). It also supports strategies that allow you to create your indicators or trade systems in CQG...

CQG has two methods of charting the spreads - one (Spread bars) allow you to chart the spread between bars of underlying instruments. For example you can select to build 30 minute bar chart displaying the difference between 1 minute bars of underlying instruments. The second option is to use...

I want to make sure everyone is absolutely clear here - CQGSpreader does not consolidate any market data. Henderson is right - the system takes less than half a millisecond to react to market data event from an exchange and less than half a mil to react to fill on one of the legs of the spread...

Why would you not run CQGtrader on your NY servers and route the orders from it to CQG's Chicago infrastructure? Then you will get best of both worlds - use the setup that is working for you and remove the latency associated with distance time. CQG can easily associate your CQGTrader login with...
