To connect MultiCharts to CQG data feed, it is necessary to have CQG API installed on the computer.
If there are any CQG applications installed on your PC, it is required to delete them prior to installing the supported version of CQG API:
- Windows Start menu
- Control Panel
- Uninstall a program / Programs and Features
- Select each of the following applications and uninstall all of them:
- CQG Trader
- CQG Auto Upgrade Service
- CQG Trader API
- CQGNet
- MultiCharts API (with CQG icon)
- Not all versions of CQG software are supported. Please install only this version of CQG API: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27918922/Multicharts_COMAPI_en-US_production_V4.04.542_Install.msi
At the moment it is not possible to use multiple CQG/AMP 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.
AMP accounts originally created for a different software will not work in MultiCharts. Customers need to contact AMP directly to setup their accounts for MultiCharts or request a demo account here: [1]
Indexes are available in MultiCharts 8.5 beta 1 or higher. Indexes data is available for Live CQG/AMP accounts only. At the moment only real-time data is available for CQG Indexes, no historical backfill from data source. To learn how to store real-time data locally, read this article.
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 enter Login and Password.Note:By default demo mode is turned on. Uncheck the CQG demo box to turn it off. Demo mode is required to be on for demo accounts. If you have real account, the box is required to be off.Note 2: It is recommended to launch MultiCharts by making a right-click on the icon -> Run as administrator. A popup dialogue message will appear where you need to allow CQG API to connect to the Internet (That should be done upon first connection after API installation. You can start MultiCharts in regular mode after that)
To add an instrument manually or from data source, see Adding Symbol(s) to Symbol List.
