== General Information ==
Please make sure that your PC meets CQG requirements and technical specifications: http://www.cqg.com/Docs/CQGTraderSystemSpecs.pdf
When an order is sent from MultiCharts to CQG broker to be executed on an expired contract, the broker will automatically redirect the order to the same symbol, but currently active contract.
CQG does not support supports Native One-Cancels-Others groupsince version 9. In this case MultiCharts emulates 1. Native OCO -group on its end. Simulated is used when the broker’s plug-in supports OCO-group means that groups. In this case all OCO orders are sent to the broker, price is monitored by MultiCharts directly and once one of the orders is filled, other orders from this OCO group are cancelled by MultiCharts. When one of the unfilled OCO orders is filled, MultiCharts sends a command to cancel the second OCO order to broker. Note that the second order may also will be filled if price reaches its level before the cancellation is processed cancelled by the broker (see [[Trading Risks# OCO-Orders Risk|OCO-Orders Risk]]).
