After much prodding, it appears that CQG will make good on my request for the next release, which was to add a flatten button to their DOM. Also you may have noticed that they did away with snaptrader, apparently they are working on another form of chart trader, hopefully a better one than snaptrader, something more along the lines of what Ninja/Sierra/Multicharts uses, so you can drag your orders around easily.

It seems that CQG added the button you requested on CQG Trader X Global

If you hover over this, you will see that it says "Cancel All Orders for all symbols and all accounts"

Thanks,

The feature upgrade I saw was on CQG Trader, and I did not try it on Q Trader.
I can ask CQG if it is available there.

Ah, I see. I always get tricked by the CQG Trader/CQG QTrader thing.

Thanks, don't worry, they should be publishing a beta version this week for QTrader.

Hate to burst everyone's bubble but that's not a flatten button. Its a global cancel all but doesn't close the position.

Recently, someone from CQG emailed me to tell me my feature request was finally added. Then they suggested I take a demo to try it (I left CQG and Qtrader over this issue). Oddly, this was still not added, and when I asked the person at CQG about this, they said, 'it will be added soon'. Then I asked when, and they couldn't tell me. So...still waiting LOL

My mistake was referencing the wrong button, and I apologize.
On the new version of CQG Trader 7.1.11 there is a button that says
X ALL Liq ALL if you hover over it it says "Cancel all orders for all symbols on current account and liquidate all positions for current account"

So....it was added. I assume Q Trader will be next or check if it was added already.

Again, and this is not a criticism per se, but this has happened REPEATEDLY in this thread, but again,
and now again, you have gotten it wrong. The X all Liq All does exactly that, cancels and liquidates EVERYTHING in your account, not just on the symbol you have loaded up on the particular DOM you are trading on.

This is problematic when you trade multiple symbols and/or a combination of futures and options etc. I do not want to have to close my VIX spreads and my ES calls when I close my NQ position. Why should I? Every other platform ON EARTH has this function. A flatten button, sometimes called CLOSE simply closes the current position on that one symbol and cancels all open orders. Simple. Yet CQG and it seems, others on this thread are startlingly confused about the function of it.

As of yet, CQG has not implemented a flatten button on anything other than CQG M, now renamed something else, and on that, it is not located on the dom, so very inconvenient as well. Just clarifying what is actually going on, since there seems to be confusion and misinformation around. Cheers - J

Understood!

In my opinion, most of CQG efforts and development will go towards CQG Mobile now called CQG Desktop. If the feature you want is there, maybe you could get a second login to your account which is possible and have and CQG Desktop open. I do hope they will bring it to Q Trader, but as we always say in this business....it is what it is. At the end of the day, you can cancel all orders on your instrument and hit the @MKT button. Just a suggestion. After all, the buttons are beside each other.

I respect your expert opinion Matt, and sincerely hope that's not the case.

While CQG Desktop is making advances (I understand), it does not appear nearly as user friendly as QTrader at the moment.

Plus, QTrader really is nothing more but a skinned version of IC, which I don't think will disappear any time soon, given it's supposed to be CQG's flagship product. QTrader and IC tend to be released hand in hand as, again, the engine is the same.

I'm sure I'm not saying anything you don't know but I thought it'd be worth pointing this out for the thread's consumer anyway.
