CQG Trader Window Components

The CQG Trader window is divided into three panes for:

•      Entering orders: Either the DOMTrader or the Order Ticket, depending on your settings, is displayed on the left side of the window. Both allow you to monitor current market activity and place orders quickly and easily.

•      Viewing quote data: The Quote Board, at the top-right of the window, allows you to monitor data, such as open, close, and last prices.

•      Managing orders and positions: Orders and Reports, on the bottom-right of the window, allows you to track order activity and positions for all the accounts that are available to the trader logged on.

Located at the top of the CQG Trader window, the menu bar provides access to Setup, View, Orders, News, and Help functions. You can also right-click the Quote Board title bar to access these options.

•      The Setup menu has options for changing your password and setting order and position, display, order placement, and notification preferences.

•      The View menu has options for displaying the Orders & Reports pane, adding a DOMTrader or an Order Ticket to your display, and opening the Messages window.

•      The Orders menu is used to access batch order entry.

•      The News menu provides access to the News window and preferences.

•      The Help menu has options for opening the About window, online help, a tradable symbols list, a key actions list (keyboard shortcuts), and the CQG Trader API webpage.

All of these components are described in this document.
