Thanks Peter, to clarify, when you say

With Jigsaw, we recognize that a demo account is a demo account, so you can trade it with any license type. The fills will be realistic as it's CQG that are actually taking care of those fills.

is that in reference to RapidTrader Pro?

Hi Pete

Just some early feedback on RapidTrader Pro: I love the speed of execution- can't wait for this to go to General Release.


However I am confused about how to use the CQG accounts: I have
  • 1 CQG set of credentials which I use for the CQG QTrader platform
    With these credentials I can trade live - (I can also use the 'demo' built-in facility on QTrader)
    .
  • 1 Continuum/CQG set of credentials which I use for NinjaTrader
    With these credentials I access the Sim101 on NinjaTrader, so this account is not used for live trades.

I asked my broker to set me up with the same credentials used for NinjaTrader, but he came back to me with


Quoting 
that DEMO server is setup for the 2 week CQG demo credentials that they provide. Demo server will not connect to your LIVE credentials.


Does that mean that I can only use the 2 week CQG demo credentials for RapidTrader Pro?

Thank you

Good day,
Does a filtered reconstructed tape show block trades only or could they also be the sum total of a bunch of smaller trades?

For instance, I set the reconstructed tape to filter trades larger than 100. Every time a number prints in RT, say 120, could that be 12x10 contracts , or 120 x single contracts, or is that one block trade of 120?

With CQG, products have to be enabled on the account. That's generally done on the FCM side. All you should have to do is ask Ninja to enable Private Label "Jigsaw" on your account.

The confusion about Demo's is that demo's are product specific. So you can't use a CQG/Ninja demo with RTP and vice versa.
