CQG API Templates
The CQG API templates can be used to provide our customers speed and automation.

 

  • FCMs can monitor risk for all of their accounts on one screen.
  • Energy traders can use an order ticket designed especially for their trading needs.
  • Traders who need the freedom and flexibility of automation can enter bracket orders to limit risk and can define their own spreads. 
  • CQG watches the market for you and triggers orders based on your parameters.
  • CQG's templates and source code are readily available free of charge.

 

NOTE: Two files are needed for Excel to work properly with the CQG API.  

  • Install these files: To install the file from the server, click Run, then Run. To install the file from your hard drive, save the file to your computer, double-click the Trading Interface Support icon, and then click Run.
