Email message notifications
An option should be available to receive email message notifications on trade fills, as well as potential alerts regarding incomplete fills and connectivity issues. This feature proves invaluable when users are away from their screens but actively managing orders. Numerous other trading platforms already provide this functionality.

VIX FUTURE DATA ERROR
I have alerted the data team to what I believe is an error. Everything starting on the October 2021 Future is correct. Prior to this point has the same error. On the day before settlement/valuation, CQG has the wrong settlement price each time. EG SEP-14-21 has settlement value from SEP-15-21. This is an enormous issue that I hope we can please resolve as soon as possible.

Blog or Youtube Tutorial for T.S. functions.
The super template is a good start but users need more. A deep understanding of the Trade System functions is critical to independently building and back testing ideas. The trade systems functions are not straight forward and require formal explanations to use them properly. Please educate us.

Portara - Where is the best place to Roll A Futures Contract
I am often asked where the best place is to roll a futures contract even from seasoned traders. There are many variants but in the end it boils down to a date and an underlying reason why. If you don't know the nuances of the various sectors and markets that have developed over the years and why for instance you need to choose long periods in the metals before expiry date compared to only a day or so in the indexes then you face problems. This presentation demonstrates a few very simple methods of how to determine an optimal place;…

Portara - Robustness Testing & Strategy Optimisation Using Data
Traders often try to use their backtester — personal code or software application — to create ways in which to test system models for robustness. However, perhaps there is a much easier solution?

- Increasing and decreasing the volatility across a commodity or portfolio of commodities
- Cropping intraday bars from the beginning and end of your daily session
- Randomising the opens and closes of the daily…

Portara - Discussion on SOB (Start of Bar) versus EOB (End of Bar) intraday txt CSV backtest data
Some backtesters require data in SOB (Start of Bar) format where others require an EOB (End of Bar) approach. This video contrasts the difference between the two sets of valid timestamp models — for the data importer interfaces that backtesters contain — and researchers inevitable come across. With Portara, you can make backtesting choices for any style of backtester you currently work with — even customized self-designs. Make sure you UNDERSTAND fully the data you are working with.
The worst case scenario is to purchase data from an unknown supplier only to find 'surprises' later when you reach the data…

Window titles and divider sizing.
When switching from windows 7 to windows 10, the width of the window borders becomes too wide and the ability is lost to adjust the title bar font sizing. Please allow for the ability to use slimmer window widths and the ability to adjust the title bar fonts.

Portara - Dual DST Differences for Funds and CTA's
Depending on the location of your trading operation(s) Dual-DST differences are a primary headache to intraday data creation for many funds. CQG Datafactory and Portara raw databases are all timestamped in Chicago time REGARDLESS of the exchange in which the data derived from. This is a potential nightmare for Funds residing in the US, for instance who wish their overseas markets to display exchange timestamps. See how Portara resolves these differences for all global exchanges regardless of your funds location. There's more here than meets the eye... Direct
