I get it, the tick seems limited to 3 days, the minute long term back, but there are also symbols limitations, i think maybe due to the demo, for example i get CL data but it doesn't update in real time.
CQG Is a very good solution that we use for our web based and mac based applications for routing and data feed.
Assuming I did have access to CQG, I still not replace Rithmic as my main sources for major apps like Ninja.
I am not going to get into a long discussion about the broker risk management side of Rithmic, but all I can say is that it allows to see in a flash what a trader has on his book in case of tech assistance.

NinjaTrader worked closely with CQG in developing from the ground up an API that communicates directly to their network. This is different than other applications that integrated to the CQG Integrated Client application. This offering is exclusive to AMP Global Clearing (FCM) and made available to their IB, AMP Futures. I suspect that other IB's will start offering this but you would need to check with AMP Global Clearing.
Also, NinjaTrader/CQG offers the free live trading NinjaTrader Direct Edition.

the new CQG user name and password.
III. Convert/Adjust your current live connection in NinjaTrader to CQG.
In order to set this up you will need your new CQG user ID and password.
1) Start NinjaTrader
2) From within the Control Center window, select Tools-->Account Connections...
3) In the Account Connection Set Up window, press Add...
4) Click on Next, name the connection AMP Live and select CQG as the Provider
5) Backup data feed connection: "<None>"
6) Select "Enabled" for historical data
7) Enter the user name/password check "include Index Data"
8) Complete the wizard
9) From the Control Panel, select File->Connect->AMP Live and give it a few seconds to connect. You will see a green box in the lower left corner of the control panel that says "Connected - CQG."
Does this in any way mean NT7 will be building (adding) the capability to access up to 30 days of BID/ASK historical data from a CQG feed connection (for use in properly tracking Cumulative Delta through all the tools built by Gomi and others)?
If you are going to have a great feed like CQG connected for charting and order routing, it would be sad if there was no ability to access historical BID/ASK data (like the 30 days of historical BID/ASK data which is available from DTN.IQ).
BTW, this would be a MAJOR breakthrough for NT7 if you guys step up to the plate and gets this feed connection done right (CQG connected to NT7 with simplistic proper access to historical BID/ASK data).
I just wanted to make sure I stated the obvious here!
The NinjaTrader/CQG integration project centered on connectivity to the CQG Global network for order routing and real time futures and index data. For reasons I can’t disclose it was decided that NinjaTrader would supply the historical data server technology. Our servers are co-located at CQG’s Chicago’s data center and provides tick, minute and daily bars for last, bid and ask.
For further clarification:
Order Routing – NinjaTrader Client à CQG Global Network à Exchange (and back of course)
Real time futures and index data - Exchange à CQG Global Network à NinjaTrader Client
Historical futures and index data - Exchange à CQG Global Network àNinjaTrader Data Server à NinjaTrader Client
