CQG Trader

Features The DOMTrader order execution interface provides Depth-of-Market information giving you transparency beyond the best bid and offer. The DOMTrader has four tabs at the top of the window for trading more than just one market. Order entry and cancel buttons are also available for quick management of trades.

CGQ Trader can display up to three DOMTrader windows. Track other markets through the Quote Board and manage your positions with the Orders & Positions window.

CQG's Order Ticket is available if you prefer to use scalper style buttons. This is a combination of DOM view and order entry buttons that display real-time prices tied to the current market.

The Quote Board displays open, high, low, last, and net change for the symbols you specify. The Quote Board can be up to 12 cells wide and 5 rows tall.

The Orders & Positions window displays important account details including working orders, filled orders, account balance, open trade equity, and unrealized profit/loss for options on futures and purchases and sales.

Getting Started A Penson Futures account is required. Contact Carrie Radwan-Maney if you have any questions or would like to switch to CQG Trader.
