CQG Platform

[GammaJammer]

No-one on these types of boards seems to use tradermade. I know a fair few pros I speak to like it.

I like ProRealtime myself, but as I'm so old school, I find that for anything really flash I use my bloomberg (reluctantly), otherwise I actually use Netdania perfectly happily. If they stop making it free to use then I can always go elsewhere, but for now it does what I need. If I get to the point where I need stuff it doesn't offer imho that means I'm over complicating things.

Hi Guys,

How is CQG compared to Redi? I know the bright guys use it with Goldman Sachs as the clearing firm.

Also, what do the BIG GUYS use ?(Hedge Funds/Institutionals)?

Best,
Steve

They use high end platforms that cater for algorithimic trading. I think its around $150,000/year per system.

CQG is being used alot for prop trading and insitutional technical based trading. I would assume alll other types of insitutional traders stick with Bloomberg terminals at roughly $2,000 a month.
