Restrictions
All data extracted are to be used only within the spreadsheet or with other applications running on the same computer as CQG. The data may not be distributed in real-time to another computer in any manner, either physical or electronic.

CQG does grant the license to use the extracted data on another computer for end-of-day accounting.

CQG offers more than 90 popular studies, some of which can be found nowhere else, and CQG also adds new ones at traders’ request.

Studies can be placed on the toolbar so you can add the study to the chart by one click or you can call up a study from a list by right-clicking on the chart. CQG retains a list of your most recently used studies, so you don’t have to look through a long list each time you want to add a study to a chart.

After the study is plotted on the chart, a right-mouse click on the study brings up a menu with the following choices:

• Add a study on the study
• Remove the study from the chart
• Modify the parameters of the study
• Set the color for the study
• Select a condition for marking the study
• Add a study alert
• Hide update levels
• Information about the study (go to a help file on the study)

The help files provide an explanation of the study, how traders use the study, and default parameters.

Studies can be modified and the changes saved, but later, the default parameters can be reinstated.

CQG offers the ability to develop custom studies through the Formula Editor, and the study can then be added to the study list and toolbar for quick access.

CQG provides the trader with an easy-to-use interface and a no-compromise approach to technical analysis.

CQG has established a reputation over the last 25+ years for its ability to produce charts and analytical studies quickly and easily. CQG gives traders a large number of chart alternatives, all offering maximum flexibility and intuitive, easy-to-use features that allow users to set up charts and data just the way they like them.

With CQG charts, traders can focus their analysis on markets and not on the computer skills it sometimes takes to set up charting pages. Find out more about CQG's powerful charting abilities.
