Rock solid datafeed, superb analytics, historical data, flexible studies, offers the ability to write your own indicators and studies. User friendly and CQG phone support is good. Expensive, but worth it if you are a high volume short term trader!

Expensive but without doubt, the best charting platform in the industry. However to have trading functionality enabled is where the costs go out of control. $2400 a year if you want use CQG trading to place an order. CQG classify a trailing stop as an ‘advanced’ order? So that will be another $2400 a year if you want that functionality. Whilst most traders are happy to pay for the charting, the trading should be included, especially when their competition are offering trading software for free. So on top of the cost of the charting platform @ $10k a year they want an additional $2.4k a year if you want to use their front end to trade (with regular stop) or a additional $4.8k for cqg categorized ‘advanced’ orders such as, wait for it……a trailing stop. There is something seriously wrong with their pricing structure. Especially if the trading functionality is already built into the IC charting software and just needs to be enabled.
