Aesthetics
The look of the CQG Trader is customizable. Eight different color themes for backgrounds and fonts are available. CQG Trader has buy and sell columns, a depth of market column, and a setting to have the last four trades marked next to the price by a marker that varies in size. The marker is the largest for the last trade and the smallest for the oldest trade back. The current and largest marker is an up triangle if the last trade was executed at the offer or a down triangle if the last trade was executed at the bid.
Customizable Display
Choose to display the buy, sell at the market buttons, inside market buttons, quantity, and cancel order buttons. The cancel order buttons include canceling bids or offers, all orders posted, or liquidate all positions and cancel open orders. While in a position, you have a choice of the account equity calculated based on open trade equity, or open trade equity and realized profit/losses.
