General Information
Note: CQG Web API (WAPI) is used in MultiCharts and MultiCharts .NET since version 9.1.
MultiCharts .NET Special Edition uses CQG COM API for demo connection and CQG FIX API for live connection.
MultiCharts .NET Special Edition uses CQG COM API for demo connection and CQG FIX API for live connection.
CQG connection does not require installing the API, as the API is integrated into MultiCharts.
- Please make sure that your PC meets CQG requirements and technical specifications: http://www.cqg.com/Docs/CQGTraderSystemSpecs.pdf
- It is possible to use different accounts for getting data and trading.
- Real-time data for Indexes is available for Live CQG/AMP accounts only.
To connect CQG data feed in MultiCharts:
CQG accounts originally created for a different software will not work in MultiCharts. Customers need to contact their broker directly to setup their accounts for MultiCharts or request a new account.
Note: CQG software and MultiCharts should not be launched simultaneously.
To Set Up CQG Data Feed Connection
- In the QuoteManager Main Menu select Tools and then click Data Sources window. Select CQG in the list of all supported data vendors and click the Settings button.
- In the opened up window:
- Authority section.
Enter Login and Password. - Connectivity section.
Make sure that the Server Name is correct.
From the drop-down list select Sim for a Demo account, Live for a Real account.
Custom should be selected only if you received specific settings and instructions from your broker. - Enable External Historical Data box to get data from CQG Web API servers (less historical data, but for some instruments data will be available only when the box is checked).
Disable External Historical Data box to get data from CQG COMAPI servers (more historical data, but no data for some instruments).
- Authority section.
Note: Changing the data feed settings requires restart of all MultiCharts Processes for having the changes applied.
To add an instrument, see Adding Symbol(s) to Symbol List.
Also, make sure that you set up CQG broker profile for trading and CQG broker plug-in for auto-trading.
