multiCharts.net with cqg feed

Postby GoTrader » 12 Dec 2013

hi,

i signed up a demo account with amp futures. it uses cqg as data feed.

is it true that you can only use 32bit version of MC.net when have cqg as your data feed?

here is what it says.

Thank you for trying MultiCharts.

The free trial will expire in 30 days after you launch the application for the first time. After the trial has expired you will be prompted to purchase the platform. Should you choose to purchase the platform, just go to the MultiCharts Purchase and choose the subscription option that would best meet your needs.

*NOTE* - To use CQG with MultiCharts trial on your PC, please follow the instructions below:

You can use CQG connection on both versions of MultiCharts 32 bit and 64 bit.

The page you are referring to provides the download link to MCDT 32 bit which is a different product (not MultiCharts .Net).

Hi, Henry,

thanks for the reply. Do I need to install the CQG api first?

i can not make MC.net connect to cqg feed.

i am sure that my demo account is valid since i use CQG trader to login with using the same user name and password without any problem.


here is what i do:

File -> Broker Profiles -> manage broker profiles -> new -> CQG -> setting

I input user name and password, then check CQGT demo checkbox.

when i click connect, the state column just shows connecting forever.
