As far as I understand CQG Trader has exactly the same functionality that is built in on QTrader and IC.
That X all/Liq all button in question, to the best of my knowledge would close all of your open positions (means in both the current instrument that you're looking at as well as any other instrument with working orders/open positions.
Unless I misunderstood you?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
I understand that you are trying to be helpful Mattz, but please read the messages before you respond. I have written extensively that this is not the case, you are mistaken, and it will not help. But I appreciate your efforts, and if you were to contact CQG about this, as a broker, it might go a long way. Thanks again - J
You are right, I did not read through the entire thread because I lack the time. The functionality I mentioned does cancel all orders and positions.
The closest I could get to what you wanted is through a two way process:
1) when in a position at the top of the DOM you can right click and choose liquidate or reverse position.
2) X All = cancel all orders for current symbol for this account.
Just as an FYI: features addition due to the due diligence they go through may take awhile. This requires testing, making sure if works with other functionalities and routes to the exchange appropriately. Sorry I could not help further but spoke to CQG.

Yes, I can do that which involves 3 steps, the X all is at the bottom of the DOm and the liquidate at the top. Since I have been a CQG user I have had open orders fill 4 different times before I could cancel them, it has cost me money, it exposes their customers to unneccesary risk, as a platform not having this is an oddity, they are the only one in the entire industry without it, and they have no explanation as to why they don't have it or why they will not add it, other than a casual remark about no one asking for it.
As an execution platform, for my trading, this is the closest thing to perfect I have gotten so far, but it is missing 1 GIANT thing, a flatten button. It boggles my mind how hard this has been to get their attention on this, and how it feels like I am asking for something exotic and strange when really I just want hem to add something that is an INDUSTRY STANDARD
I talked to Jill at CQG before close today and she said that am the only one that has been asking so far for the flatten button, but if they hear the same request from more people, they will strongly consider doing it on a following release. Even a few more requests would help.
So please, if you want this (or even just to make my life easier ;-) ) then please give CQG a call and ask for Jill and request a better button on the dom to close/flatten/liquidate positions. I would sure appreciate it.
Initial order bracket order with profit say 15 ticks and stop at 25 ticks
i can place fixed targets and stops and maybe even a trailing stop BUT can i make it start at a wider stop say 25 ticks and then once the price move say 8 ticks in my favor bring the stop to BE?
I know this was not thought to be possible @xplorer but
Download scaling bracket and run the application
Its a separate application
You can have upto 3 Tier scaling
The scale offset means after the 1st bracket, the stop will trail based on that offset
say offset is set to 5.. then after 1st bracket,
stop will trail at 5 ticks
(initial stop is same for all brackets)
I tested briefly and this works.. only thing i think is if the application is restarted or shut down it wont trail anymore (but i am fine since if its past BE after 1st BE, thats all i am looking for)
