Modeled after CQG's flagship product, CQG Integrated Client, the new platform offers real-time data backed by three years of historical market data. This combination allows traders to model highly-customized scenarios and run calculations in Microsoft Excel® spreadsheets before making trading decisions.

"We designed CQG QTrader for traders who require precise and sophisticated technology and tools, but who may not need the full suite of tools available in CQG IC," said Rod Giffen, Chief Operating Officer at CQG. "CQG QTrader includes the best of CQG packaged for a diverse user base."

CQG QTrader features some of CQG's most popular charting and analytics tools, including classic bar charts, TFlow® bars, line charts, candlestick charts, Bollinger Bands, Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD), and Average True Range (ATR) studies. Traders can monitor the state of multiple conditions and study values for multiple chart types and intervals. CQG's Instrument Monitor makes it possible to view real-time market data and study values and view the status of conditions for an instrument in a single, comprehensive view.
