Customers using our flagship product, CQG Integrated Client (CQG IC), have access to a new study called Algo Orders. Using a proprietary algorithm, this indicator of trading activity detects and exposes hidden volume (iceberg orders) in the market. The study displays “executed volume - displayed volume” for buy and sell orders. Using RTD syntax, you can pull the study values from CQG IC into Microsoft Excel® in real time.
These dashboards are available:
- 2-Year Treasuries (Symbol: TUA)
- 5-Year Treasuries (Symbol: FVA)
- 10-Year Treasuries (Symbol: TYA)
- 30-Year Treasuries (Symbol: USA)
The spreadsheet displays four market data groups with each group having four columns. The market data groups are:
- one-second sub-minute bars
- five-second sub-minute bars
- one-minute bars
- five-minute bars
The first column in each group is the time of the closing prices and the second column is the closing prices.
Next to the closing prices are columns for the AlgOrdBidVol and AlgOrdAskVol study values for each bar. At the top there are filters for the two studies. If the AlgOrdBidVol study value exceeds the filter value, then the last price is highlighted green. If the AlgOrdAskVol study value exceeds the filter value, then the last price is highlighted red. If they both exceed the filter, then the larger one’s color is applied to the last price for the bar. In addition, charts, the Bid/Ask Volume study, and a horizontal depth-of-market view are displayed.
Four charts use the same time frames along with the Bid Ask Volume Cross study.
