CQG Trader

Simple & Effective Execution Software

Like most people, this was my first execution software that my broker suggested when I started. This is only execution software, so you also need charts, but you can get those almost for free anywhere online these days.

Bottom line, this is a simple and effective tool for executing trades. the price ladder works perfectly, never jams for me, and I can rely on the accuracy of CQG at all times.

This definately lacks the bells and whistles that most of the retail platforms offer, but this is for TRADING, not gambling and fun. Professionals will love this, rookies will go elsewhere for bigger buttons and flashing lights LOL.

I hightly recommend for a serious trader execution platform, and CQG data is grreat too.

basic

Pretty average DOM, not many features but can get the job done. I would recommend just going with a free option which will likely have better options and be just as user friendly.

Great for beginners and traders that need simple order entry

CQG Trader was my first trading platform for futures at Variance Futures.

Very user friendly, simple and fast order entry platform.

It's pretty much CQG Integrated stripped from all the advanced features and charts, but for fraction of the cost.

It doesn't have charts, but if you already have your charting package and just need a simple "no brainer" order entry futures platform - this is the platform for you.

The big plus was the static DOM.

Fast and reliable

The best price ladder I have worked with.

Easy to use, the standard features with CQG are what other providers sell as extras.
