OTC Block Trades

NASDAQ Futures Exchange (NFX) and CQG have teamed up to provide an anonymous Request for Quote (RFQ) Block system for traders to execute OTC block trades. The new block trade system provides over-the-counter trade capability; which separates block trade quotes from Central Limit Order Book orders, but allows for the full dissemination of order quotes for these trades.

Traders authorized for the RFQ Block exchange can send an RFQ to others who are authorized for the RFQ Block exchange. Traders not authorized for the RFQ Block exchange will not see the RFQs.

You can rely on CQG technology as all matching of orders occurs within CQG.

Excel At Using Excel With CQG

CQG offers two new studies and one new chart type for customers developing models, analytics, and utilizing other Excel features. These three new features provide a seamless connection between Excel and CQG. Whatever models you have built with Excel you can easily pull into CQG current real-time values, as well as a time series, and you can chart in CQG proprietary market data.

The chart example is using the XLTS study. The CFTC Commitment of Traders data (Large Net Speculators, Net Commercials, and Net Small Speculators) for the gold market is maintained in an Excel spreadsheet and is displayed on the chart using the XLTS study.

Also available in CQG QTrader for an additional fee.
