Agricultural Spreading and Aggregation
Term structure traders can spread markets using CQG's co-located servers. Compared to traders using client-side solutions, traders using the CQG Spreader have a tremendous advantage. You attain premium placement in the order queues for the working legs of spreads because the CQG Integrated Client trade routing interfaces connect to the exchange co-located CQG Spreader Core. Orders are configured on the CQG Integrated Client and then the servers use proprietary algorithms to manage the working legs of the order. Order modifications and execution of second legs occur in less than a millisecond due to the close proximity of the CQG Spreader Core to the exchange servers.

For example, a trader can spread US Treasuries against US Treasury futures even when they have different brokerage accounts for these instruments.
- Server-side aggregation is part of our suite of server-side order management tools. You can automatically trade similar instruments on two or more exchanges and manage where the trades get filled based on your preferences. These tools are extremely powerful when used with CQG Spreader. Unlike other vendors, we allow you to execute automated spreads where each leg of the spread is an aggregation of two or more markets.

For example, this example is a scan of the stocks that are in the S&P 500 Index and the S&P 500 SPDR (Symbol: SPY) ETF looking for those stocks with rising moving averages and overbought or oversold conditions on two different time frames. This data can be exported to Microsoft Excel for further analysis.
CQG's Portfolio Monitor can provide you with an instant view of the stock market. This example lists the symbols in the NASDAQ 100 Index and the PowerShares QQQ Trust (Symbol: QQQ) ETF.
The portfolio is dynamically ranked by percent net change so you easily see today's top performers in the NASDAQ 100 Index. All of this data can be exported to Excel.

This example is showing the FAANG stocks: Facebook (Symbol: FB), Amazon (Symbol: AMZN), Netflix (Symbol: NFLX) and Alphabet's Google (Symbol: GOOG).
