Improving Workflow and Usability in CQG Desktop / CQG One
Hi everyone,
I’ve been using CQG Desktop recently and really appreciate its powerful charting and trading capabilities. The platform offers strong analytics, real-time data, and flexible customization, which makes it a solid tool for traders.
However, I wanted to share a few ideas that could further improve the overall user experience and workflow:
Better Chart Object Management
It would be very helpful to have a centralized list or panel showing all drawing tools (lines, zones, Fibonacci, etc.) used on a chart. This would make it easier to edit or remove objects without having to scroll back through history.Enhanced Layout Flexibility
While the platform supports multiple charts and widgets, managing layouts across different symbols could be more intuitive. A smoother way to organize and switch between multi-asset views would improve efficiency.Custom Notifications & Alerts
Adding more customizable alert options (sounds, visual cues, priority levels) for different order events would make trading more responsive and user-friendly.Simplified Setup for New Users
Since CQG Desktop is web-based and feature-rich, a guided setup or onboarding workflow could help new users configure charts, quotes, and trading panels faster.
Overall, CQG Desktop and CQG One are already strong platforms, but small usability improvements like these could make a big difference in daily trading efficiency.
Would love to hear how others manage their workflow and if you have similar suggestions!
