New Symbol Search Window
Introducing a symbol search tool that anticipates the myriad reasons you require such a tool. Your search can be as specific or as broad as you need it to be. Search for a single symbol of any type — cash, currencies, fixed income, futures, indices, options, stocks, or reports. Search for a particular instrument, and narrow results using one of many combinations of filters. Browse for symbols grouped by exchange, country, type, or index.
Results include the source or exchange symbol and volume. Export these results in seconds to craft spreadsheet portfolios, for example.
See the real-time state of indices, and observe changes as they happen. Symbol Search exposes the content of each index, so that, for example, you see all the symbols that make up the S&P.
We encourage you to try the new Symbol Search. Even if you were not a regular user of the previous Symbol Finder, you are sure to discover how it readily accommodates a wide range of symbol lookup needs.

CQG Aggregation
Simultaneously work multiple orders (aggregation) on the same exchange or multiple exchanges. Aggregation increases your liquidity pool, betters your chances of being filled at the price you want, and provides greater volume to lean on. Server-side order management ensures faster execution.
CQG’s collocated servers manage aggregation and work your orders based on your specific trading distribution preferences. For example, use market making or market taking mode, and set the preferred market percentage between instruments. Use QFormulas expressions to aggregate instruments and to set the price ratio, quantity ratio, or price offset.
Trading Based on Yield
Trade or spread fixed income products based on that product’s yield instead of price. Orders based on yield are automatically converted to price orders. Choose whether to monitor the yield or price on any CQG Chart or trading tool.

Iceberg Strategy Orders
One of the obvious benefits of iceberg orders is limited transparency into the orders you have on the book. But in the case of iceberg strategy orders, limited exposure is not the primary goal. Instead, these orders provide a way for you to release orders into the market automatically. Imagine placing an iceberg order for 10 contracts with a visible quantity of 1. Orders are placed one at a time for you. The system is able to recognize and react to favorable market conditions that last only a millisecond. By taking human guesswork and reaction out of the equation, optimal execution is more likely. Execution is further optimized by the speed of our server-side order management. Both spread and aggregation orders can be entered
as icebergs.
Updated Synthetic Spread Trading Parameters
The updated spread parameters window improves screen layout, as you can use it side-by-side with the DOMTrader® and Order Ticket. The new orientation also makes it easier to scan the window for strategy details. Additionally, you choose which parameters are displayed by collapsing the sections you don’t need. Changing parameters for a QFormula on the DOMTrader? Click the QFormula button on the parameters window for instant access to edit the formula.
DOM-triggered payups have been added to If Incomplete management options. Instead of a time-based payup trigger, these options offer a choice to employ absolute volume, volume ratio, or the best bid/ask ratio to trigger a payup. Using DOM data adds some indication of the market to your decision-making. Bids and asks are monitored, and the payup occurs only when your desired volume threshold is met.
