DWC offers a variety of technology consulting services ranging from custom API and trading software development to infrastructure analysis and improvement. The company was founded by David Widerhorn, an experienced trader and technologist, around the core principle that technology solutions for financial services firms and individuals should be built from the trader/risk manager's perspective and from a concrete understanding of the underlying business. DWC's specialty is in creating custom solutions for traders and financial services firms seeking algorithmic trading solutions and risk management tools that leverage CQG's API. DWC has extensive experience working with all aspects of CQG's API, including FIX and the CQG Spreader, and is able to provide cost-effective high performance solutions in a timely manner.

CQG's Data and Trading APIs are available as part of the company's flagship product, the CQG Integrated Client. CQG also provides direct connectivity to its Hosted Exchange Gateways using the industry-standard FIX protocol via CQG's FIX 4.2 API. By using CQG's API solutions, partners and customers can route orders directly to CQG's gateways through their own proprietary applications.
