efutures Pro API

The efutures Pro API allows you to connect to efutures Pro using a COM interface. Once connected, you have access to trade data, such as accounts, quotes, and orders and positions.

You can use the API in two ways:

•      API only: Add efutures Pro functionality to your front end. In this case, you log on to efutures Pro programmatically and then use the API-defined interfaces and methods to collect and work with efutures Pro data.

•      efutures Pro + API: Incorporate your proprietary code using the efutures Pro front end to expand existing efutures Pro functionality. In this case, you log on to efutures Pro as usual, turn on access to the API, and start your program or script that uses the API.

To turn on the API, right-click the Quote Board title bar, click API, then click Enable API.

For more information, please go to the API website or view the samples and help files (CQGTrader_Com_API.zip) at: ftp://OpenAPI:k-rxERRdigxQ@ftp.cqg.com/CQGT%20API/.

The API requires an enablement.
