1. What is an Omnibus account and how does it work?

   http://www.cqg.com/Docs/OmnibusTrading.pdf

   Omnibus accounts, set up by clearing firms for non-clearing firms, are used to funnel orders from individual accounts at a non-clearing firm into one omnibus account at the clearing firm. All orders placed for a particular exchange from those individual accounts are sent to the clearing firm and exchange using the omnibus account.

   In this way, customers of the non-clearing firm are not disclosed to the clearing firm.

   Non-clearing firms are able to manage risk separately from the omnibus account and can have multiple
   omnibus accounts with a range of clearing firms.

   A separate omnibus environment is created. The clearing FCM sets up the omnibus account, making sure to set the location and risk server for the omnibus route. The non-clearing FCM sets up the individual accounts. Traders associated with the non-clearing firm place orders using that firm’s account, and the orders are sent to the clearing firm and exchange using the omnibus account.

   For example:

   Suppose that a non-clearing firm needs to clear Eurex through a specific clearing firm:
   1. The clearing firm provides their Eurex ID to be used by the non-clearing firm to CQG.
   2. CQG creates an Omnibus Eurex route.
   3. In CAST (Customer Account Service Tool), the clearing firm creates an omnibus account for the non-clearing firm, sets the route for the account as Omnibus Eurex route, and then sets risk for the omnibus account. The total individual accounts at the non-clearing firm cannot place trades beyond the risk parameters set for the omnibus account.
   4. In CAST, the non-clearing firm creates individual accounts and sets risk for those accounts.
   5. When any of those non-clearing individual accounts trade on Eurex, trades from the non-clearing firm are submitted to the clearing firm and Eurex using the omnibus account. Because they all use the same route, they remain anonymous.
   6. CQG also offers the option of a virtual omnibus account that uses the non-clearing firm account number rather than the omnibus account number. You can take advantage of the omnibus functionality, using one account to manage risk for an entire group while sending individual accounts to the exchange.

2. Is it possible to OCO an order from the spreader to a normal order ?

   I'm working an normal outright order in the exchange traded spread and one in my CQG spreader. I would like to set it, so the first fill cancel the other. Is that possible?

   Thank you

5. Custom Study Output draws a line from bar to bar

   Hi guys,

   I'm working on making a custom study that draws a line from bar to bar. For instance, from the low of the previous bar to the high of the current bar. Would appreciate any help at all. Thanks in advance!

   Multiple order ticket open at the same time. You should be able to have more than one order ticket open. This would help immensely in fast markets.

7. Group Alerts

   Let's say I create a family of say ten alerts for market EP. Is there an easy way for me to copy this family of alerts and use it for a new market ENQ, without having to manually enter each alert? The copy feature does not allow this.
