CQG Market Access

To enable your Investor/RT for use with CQG Continuum, a 15 $/month platform technology fee (waived for Investor/RT trial users) is required. Add the "CQG Market Access" option to your license subscription and then review and sign the CQG End User License Agreement beforehand. Please note that this “Market Access” fee, collected by CQG from third party providers not using their native applications, doesn’t grant you access to any market data (as you always need to subscribe to the various CME or EUREX exchange data fees through your brokerage firm).

Supported Clearing and Brokerage Firms

Investor/RT supports CQG Continuum market data and execution services for clients from brokerage firms using one of the following FCMs: ADM Investor Services, Advantage Futures, AMP Global Clearing, Dorman Trading, Ninjatrader Clearing, Phillip Capital, Plus500 and StoneX Financial. Supported brokerages include AMP Futures, EdgeClear, Stage5Trading, NinjaTrader Brokerage, Tradovate (see note) and many more. If your FCM is not yet supported, please contact Linn Software to register your interest.

Testing CQG data and order execution services

If you already have a live CQG trading account, you may test or use it with Investor/RT (after contacting your broker to ensure your existing CQG credentials are enabled "for LinnSoft-Investor/RT"). Current Investor/RT subscribers who wish to try the CQG Continuum connectivity using a demonstration account with simulated trading can sign-up for a free 14-day CQG demo account. However, please note that we always recommend signing up for a CQG demo account directly with your brokerage firm (or the one you intend to join) so that you can test Investor/RT in the same configuration as the one you will be using on a recurrent basis.

Notes about Brokerage firms:

  • StoneX: Investor/RT supports both demo and live accounts offered by Brokerage firms relying on the new StoneX CQG-based offer (that was introduced in H1 2025 after the termination of the GAIN datafeed)
  • Tradovate: so far, customers with a real money account powered by a CQG datafeed are still able to use Investor/RT. However, we do not support any of the Tradovate paper accounts offered by Prop firms. Please check our prop firm support page for more information on this subject.
