Well, the broker says the following: Sierra Chart would connect directly to the CQG WebAPI as opposed to the Tradovate API. So with this setup, the latency would be the same regardless of which broker you use since all will be set up the same way (routing orders via CQG and receiving data through CQG). Per CQG, their FIX connection is only for order routing so market data would always come via the Web-API. There would be a $15/month CQG connection fee and a $0.15/side CQG order routing fee. This would be for the CQG Web-API connection. If you wish to have the CQG FIX enabled (for order routing) there would be an additional CQG connection and therefore another $15/month. All our Sierra Chart users get all their data and route all orders via the Web-API. I do not really understand this. In my old setup, I had only CQG FIX (thats at least what I think: In Data/Trade Service Settings I selected "Service: CQG FIX Trading (trading)" ... and that was it). How could I select both, CQG FIX and CQG Web API at the same time ? I can only select one service in Data/Trade Service Settings: Service . Can you bring some light into this ? Maybe I understand something wrong ? Thank you very much in advance ! |
