Anyone using CQG? Help pls
Long story short , switched platforms as the only broker I can trade futures in Canada used CQG.
Only, I’m having insane trouble with setting my Stop Loss. I’ve asked chat gpt and waiting to hear back from my broker but can anyone solve this?
I want to do a regular market but. No limit buys (I used to do them and at times my order never got filled, I like the control of market buy).
I right click my order and click “stop loss”. I add the number of ticks to my stop. Click OK.
Tell me why it counts the stop loss as a whole new order on a separate panel, and I can’t even see the SL on my chart grow a garden? It’s just kind of… hidden in a bottom panel under “orders working”. I want to be able to drag my Stop Loss on the screen. So every trade I’m nervous because I can’t see my Stop Loss. Messing with my psychology.
I tried a OCO Bracket order and setting my stop Loss that way…. I ended up somehow setting two stop losses and still couldn’t move them on the screen. They were just stuck there so I had to cancel them. Completely different than TradingView and how I was trading. And I’m a person that enjoys seeing where it’s at on the chart and making any adjustments as I’m extremely visual.
Am I just doing something wrong? It’s kind of hard to fiddle with it when I’m in the middle of a trade because I’m watching the charts so closely I don’t have time to sit there and try and figure out how to correctly do my stop loss
