CQG 7.7 Introduces Time-Based TradeFlow
Time-Based TradeFlow Charts use features similar to CQG’s TradeFlow bars except the bars are based on time. The bars detail the percentage of trades at the bid versus the ask price, and the color brightness and width of the bar are based on the level of volume relative to recent volume history.
CQG 7.5 Introduces Smoothed TradeFlow
New in version 7.5 of the CQG Integrated Client, smoothed TradeFlow bars reduce the velocity of the inside market information by aggregating the inside market data based on the number of TradeFlow bars or the TradeFlow bar tick range or by applying CQG’s proprietary smoothing algorithm.
CQG 7.4 Introduces TradeFlow Aggregation
New in version 7.4 of the CQG Integrated Client, aggregated TradeFlow bars provide the same information as one-tick TradeFlow bars. Using a high-low range of three ticks, the individual bars are compressed into one bar.
Bright, wide aggregated TF bars indicate heavy trading volume. Thin, dark aggregated TF bars mean trading volume is low.
- Choose from one to 20 ticks (high-low range) for the TradeFlow bar.
- Uses the same color-coding as TradeFlow bars
- Green indicates traded volume at the ask price
- Red indicates traded volume at the bid price
- Compress the individual TradeFlow bars into a single bar based on range.
- Show whether buyers or sellers are dominating the market.
- Apply TradeFlow studies to the aggregated TradeFlow bars.

Color-coding makes it clear
The TradeFlow bar provides a clear indication of market movement by color-coding the current bar's traded volume, ranked on a relative percentage basis. The TradeFlow bar's width is based on executed traded volume. Wide, brightly colored bars indicate heavy volume, and thin, dark bars indicate quiet activity. TradeFlow illustrates action at the bid versus at the ask price:
Green indicates the volume of contracts traded at the ask price.
Red indicates the volume of contracts traded the bid price.
It's all about the price
With the CQG TradeFlow chart, traders can instantly see prices change due to supply and demand, and they can analyze price independently of time.
CQG's TradeFlow package includes two additional powerful studies:
1. TradeFlow Volume™ separates the traded volume based on buyers vs. sellers.
2. TradeFlow On-Balance Volume™ is the running sum of trades at the ask minus trades at the bid.
Additional TradeFlow features:
Set TradeFlow bar colors based on percentile ranking or actual volume
TradeFlow Volume study displays the buying and selling volumes as histogram bars
TradeFlow buying and selling volumes can be used in custom studies
Cursor value window shows both trades at the ask and the bid price totals
Additional studies can be shown in a pane attached to the TradeFlow chart.
