CQG - Limited to 1 acct

Postby beck donald » 30 Jan 2014

MultiCharts .NET64 SE Version 8.8 Release (Build 8590)

You can only add a single live or demo account with CQG being the data source or broker. Any attempt to add a 2nd account, causes the previously entered account information to change to the latest inputs.

Hello Donald,

That is expected behavior that is described in CQG connection instructions:
At the moment it is not possible to use multiple CQG accounts in MultiCharts. Only one and the same account should be used for getting data and trading. If different logins and passwords are entered in data source configuration and CQG broker profile, connection to data source will work, the broker profile will not.

Hi Henry,

Thank you for the information. As it pointed out "at this time" and so therefore a known limitation. Is there a future version that is planning to allow more than 1 account?

Thank you,
Don

CQG API is able to provide either demo login access or live login access. We are not aware of any plans on CQG adding support for simultaneous access to both login/connection types.

If you want to have access to multiple accounts of the same type (either demo or live) under the same login-please contact your broker directly.

Henry,

Now I understand. So there can be multiple lives - which is what I was concerned about.

Thank you,
Don
