Update: I tried it on different machines - no dice doesn’t work with 2 different IDs from 2 different FCMs

Sorry if this is an overly obvious question, but have you tried paying for a second login to one of the CQG accounts (I think $10 a month) and seeing if that works?

Both CQG IDs were tied to same Qtrader instance. Fixing this resolved the issue.. CQG support is pretty good

I think CQG just upped its QTrader fees to 75 with 35 off on per contract fees

They are in the process of doing that. Basically the same cost if you are doing 140+ lots per month. Under that an increase depending on how active you are.

I am trying to link a Portfolio monitor/Quote spreadsheet to a chart - straightforward
So when i click through symbols, the chart changes.. great
BUT
I have multiple tabs on the chart with different timeframes (so daily, weekly etc)

I want to have both tabs change to same symbol when i change the symbol in my quote (either portfolio monitor or quote spreadsheet) - any thoughts? (could not find any info)

2) I want to import symbols from excel into Portfolio monitor automatically
I can do this manually by Ctrl C/Ctrl V but is there anyway of automating it?
I would like to have multiple lists from excel show up on different tabs in the Portfolio monitor

***** So why am i trying to control the lists in excel? - since i want to build the symbol dynamically i.e. maybe a spread based on specific months or flys based on specific contracts.. no way to build this dynamically into the symbol column in Portfolio monitor

Any and all thoughts appreciated

1) Don't think that is currently possible unfortunately.

2) Not exactly sure what you are trying to achieve. My understanding is data can be pulled but not sent back. Can you pull data and work entirely from excel? I.e. Setup structures on a sheet either using the Symbol Eg. First Oil Fly - (CLE?1-CLE?2)-(CLE?2-CLE?3) or pull data for each individual contract, then work on another sheet to create your srtuctures or pull other information based on that? Basically using excel as your portfolio manager?

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding what you are after.

Thanks for the above response. Shame that 2 tabs on the chart cannot be synched to another window

regarding point 2) Yes, i do export data into Excel and perform analysis.. but reason to bring them back to CQG is to chart them.. think of this scenario
Assume several combinations of spreads across different months out in the curve .. and after some basic analysis in Excel (like a scanner), I would like to confirm by looking at the chart..
Now do i copy each of those selected items by hand back to CQG to chart and view them

and these lists can keep changing depending on the scan (and/or) change because the month expired


Was looking at some automated way to do this
